Hurley, thrty-six years OF age. whose home
is at 1912 Kalorama road, fell 10 the ground
from the third story Of the building on
which they were at work, and were serl-
ously injured. Staneys left arm was frac-
tured and he was badly bruised and cut
about the body by coming in contact with
the broken timbers and bricks. He was
taken to Garfield Hospital and given suTgi-
cal treatment. Hurley received serious IN
turtles and bruises about his head and body.
but no bones were broken. He was re-
moved to his home in an automobile by
friends and was attended by HIS family ply
stefan.
The accident occurred about 1875 o'clock,
and the noise made By the falling brick
and timbers attracted persons to the scene
from a distance away Other mechanics
who were at work on the building feared
that Hurley and Stanley had been instantly
killed by the fall and were surprised 70 find
that neither had even lost consciousness.
Unless the men have sustained some severe
internal injuries it is believed they VIII re-

That Is nay order and the court threw the
petition to one side.
Preparations for Execution.
Preparations for the hanging were i'm
mediately begun following Judge Lands
refusal of a writ OF habeas corpus, but
Hoch's attorneys strenuously continued ef-
forts TO secure further delay. While the
death march was starting In the jail the
attorneys were just leaving the federal
building to get Hochs signature to an APP
peal bond.
After Judge Lands had apparently closed
the case Hocfl's attorneys hastily prepared
an appeal bond. and again advanced to the
court and renewed the demand for APP
peal.
Under the circumstances, I don't think
you have any right to an appeal, said the
court.
said Attorney Edward Maher. In view of
the fact that this matter was delayed until
within an hour OF the execution, l don t
think so.' replied the court.
Hoch began all to talk at once.
Well" said the court, prepare your
record and bring it in / will be here all
day"
The attorneys hurried in a cab to the
criminal court building to get Hochs sig
nature to the bond just as the word came
that the death march had begun.
The attorneys arrived at the jail with
the appeal bond just in time to again tenn
porarily stop the preparations for the exc
cution.
Lawyer Begged With Tears in His Eyes
There was a hasty conference of jail off,
Gals. and then Assistant Sheriff Peters
consulted by telephone with Federal Judge
Lands.
Judge Lands said: II have refused to
do anything in the Hoch matter. You need
not delay the execution on my account"
Judge Lands, after talking with Assist
ant Sheriff Peters, started to leave the fed
eral building. Attorney Edward Maher.
with tears in his eyes, begged Judge Lands
to stay In the building until the appeal was
perfected.
Meanwhile States Attorney Healy advis-
ed Sheriff Peters to give Hoch's attorneys
hfteen minutes to perfect the appeal before
the death march shall begin.
