COUNTY JAIL, Chicago, April 22.-
Peter Neidmeier, Gustaye Marx and
Harvey Van Dine, car barn bandits,
passed sleepless night. 1t was the
FIRST intention to hang all three on the
ame scaffold, but on account of the
weakness Of Neidermeier, it was
thought advisable to hang him alone.
The latter rejected all spiritual advice,
but Marx and Van Dine, who recently
Joined the Catholic faith, spent the
last hours in reading. writing and pray

! with them constantly.
Neidermeier Hanged.
81 The death warrant was read to Neid.
ermeier and shortly after 10 o'clock
the march to the scaffold began Neid-
ermeier was hanged at 1926. He was
carried to the gallows, handcuffed and
strapped He was placed in a chair
on the drop and fell with the chair.
He was strangled.
The Others.
Later the physicians declared Neid-
ermeier's neck was broken in the drop.
Marx was next led to the scaffold. He
was accompanied by two priests. He
appeared weak but met death brayely.
The drop fell at 11:17. Van Dine was
hanged at 11:55. The hanging wal
without particular incident.
The hanging Of the youthful car
barn bandits followed closely period
Of crime of less than six months. In
that time eight murders were commit
ted all attendant upon robberies of
efforts to escape arrest.
1t was during an attempt to escape
on a stolen train after an extraordin-
ary battle in the swamps of northern
Indiana, just east Of Chicago, that on
November 81, of last year, the capture
Of the gang was completed by the ar
rest Of Neidermeier Van Dine and
Emil Roeski, their associate, Marx,
having already been placed behind the
bars to await trial.
7 The specific offense for which Van
Dine, Neidermeier and Marx were
tried and sentenced was the murder OF
Frank Stewart, clerk of the Chicago
City Railway car barns, during a rob-
berry there on the morning Of August
30, 1903. James B. Johnson, motor
man, was also killed, and two persons
were wounded. The bandits escaped
after having secured s2,240. Roseki
was not concerned in this crime, but
after the conviction Of his companions,
was tried separately for one OF the
murders in which he was principal,
convicted and sentenced to life i'm.
prisonment.
Apprehension Of the trio In Indi.
ana was brought about through the
boastfulness of Marx. which also
caused his own undoing While under
the influence Of liquor he displayed a
magazine revolver Of the kind known
to have been used by the car barn
murderers. He asserted that the po.
lice would never take him alive.
This came to the notice Of Capt.
