WI William Howard Taft kills Carl Panzram in self-defense?

It is doubtful that he would be charged even if he weren't anyone in particular. A man shooting the killer of his wife in his own home? Why even bother to charge him? No grand jury at the time would even think of indicting him unless he was widely hated or something.

As I said earlier, unless there were extenuating circumstances, you'd have extensive trouble in an attempt at securing a conviction today.
