not be executed. DIR. Hugh T. Patrick. an
eminent authority in mental diseases, was
taken TO Mueller's cell
He examined the prisoner and announced
an opinion that Mueller was sane and re-
sponsibIe. After this there was no further
attempt to delay and Mueller was executed.
The crime for which Mueller was hanged

years old. and Martha. two and half
years old. The murders were committed

slashed across her face and neck with a
razor. Mrs. Mueller's head was almost
cut off by a razor one thumb was cut en-
tlrely of, and she sla shed in fearful
manner about the head and face. Mueller
cut his own throat with a razor and shot
himself In the breast. but after several
