tended by Jailer John L. Whitman. Rev.
Aschteter and Rev. J. f. Burkland, stepped
upon the scaffold in Chicago yesterday.
Two minutes later he was q corpse.
He walked upon the scaffod quickly and
stood directly under the moose, with heels
together and head erect, like soldier on
parade.
He was perfectly composed and fuH OF
courage. Rev. Burkland was steadily re-
citing the prayers for the dying when
Deputy Sheriff Peters asked Hoch to step
back upon the trap. He took the steps
quickly, glanced down to see if ne was in
the proper place, and then turned MS lace

Deputy Sheriff Peters.
Yes" said Hoch.
Mr. Burkland was still reciting the pray
ers and Jailer Whitman held out his hand
to silence him. The clergyman not notic-
ing, kept on with the prayer and one Of
the guards spoke to him. He ceased imme-
diately and Ffoch, as soon as he could
speak without interruption, said in a strong
German accent:
Father, forgive them: they know not
what they do. l must die an innocent man.
Good bye"
He chopped off the last words in short,
incisive manner, and before his voice was
silenced the drop fell.

TOMMY BURNS MADE
A SHOW OF MARVIN HART

LOS ANGELES. February 24.-By those
who took Marvin Hart's claim to the worlds 9
championship title seriously Tommy Burns
of Chicago may now be considered the
heavyweight champion. Burns decisively
outpointed Hart last night at the Pacific
Athletic Club pavilion and got the decision
at the end of the twentieth round
From start to finish. with the possible
ception Of the tenth and twelfth rounds,
when Hart had very small advantage,
Burns outfought the bigger man. outgan-
eraled him and beat him at every point in
the game of boxing. At times Burns, al
though handicapped IN weight and height,
made Hart look like a novice
In the opening round Burns was very ner-
vous and lacked confidence. After this how
ever, he quickly sized Hart up and began a
systematic attack on his face and body with
straight lefts. In the third round he started
the blood flowing from Harts nose and kept
1t running in almost every round thereafter
In the fifth Burns caught Hart over the
right eye. and In the following rounds bat
tered the optic until 1t was closed. The left
eye also was badly marked, and Harts face
presented bloody sight practically through
out the fight
Hart failed to show any championship
form of any sort. His persistent attempts
to rough it in the clinches earned the dis
approval of the crowd. which appeared to
be with Burns almost to a man. Burns
style of attack was to shoot his left 20 the
face or the body and step inside of Hart's
swings. allowing them to go around his neck
or ducking them entirely. Hart simply
could not land Burns. and toward the
latter part of the fight tried hard TO rough
1t and wear Burns out by using his weight
in the clinches The fight was tiresome, one
round being much Ike the preceding and
following ones. In the fourteenth Burns
appeared to have a chance to knock Hart
out. He caught the bigger man right and
left on the jaw that sent him staggering for
n Olfipkjy mn, era
Burns hammered Hart about the face and
head until he forced him to cover up and
give ground.
In the last few rounds seeing the tide of
the battle going against him, Hart urged
by his chief second. Tommy Ryan, tried
desperately 10 corner his quick-witted OPP
ponent and secure a knockout. Every at
tempt failed. however, and every round in
creased Burns lead. Hart weighed about 195
