Kearney County Murderer Biden Taylor Avoids Hanging Date
Bert H. Taylor, the Kearney county murderer, cannot be hanged on September 17 as scheduled. His attorneys filed a petition in error in the Nebraska Supreme Court to stay the execution. The case follows past lynching attempts and his capture after fleeing to California. A separate suit in Lincoln challenges the eight o’clock saloon closing law, brought for Frank Dinugzo of Omaha who was fined for keeping his saloon open after closing time.
