Girard insisted on bidding his fell

his head TO the metal support OF the

guards had sat down and rested his
head against the metal.
When Girard was placed in the
chair and the support adjusted TO his
head he thought death was coming
and his keepers feared he would col
lapse before the photograph could be
secured.
SO great was his terror that the
photograph shows the terrible fear in
his eyes and the snOw-white blanched

Girard has shown no appreciation of
the enormity of his alleged crime. but
he is seized with prostrating terror at
