Plea for wife slayer prisoner's health stirs clemency bid
Wilton J. Lambert, attorney for ex police officer Charles G Baston, launches a push for executive clemency from President Taft. Baston, convicted of murder in the second degree for killing his wife Catharine Baston on October 1, is in poor health at District Jail, with a cough and emaciation. Naval ties bolster the appeal as Baston served eleven years aboard the gunboat Petrel in Manila Bay. Fort Leavenworth awaits his June 2% sentencing.
