ONE CHIEFS PLAN TO RE-CREATE GOOD

Away south I'm Birmingham,

convention is being held this week.
1t is the gathering of chiefs Of po-

represented, although Chief Ma
lOny of Tacoma is not ''among
those present"
One of the most interesting ad-
dresses was that delivered by
Chief Fred Kohler of Cleveland,
Ohio. A very great number Of
people throughout the country are
more or less familiar with the
work of this chief, because of his
unique handling of unfortunates
who become entangled with the

In his Birmingham address,
Chief, Kohler presents new idea
for the betterment of police con-

SPOKANE, May ia special
to the Inland Herald from Walla
Walla this morning says:
The thirteenth hanging at
Walla Walla penitentiary, which
occurred os Friday, the 18th, was
one of the most grewsome execu-
tions ever Witnessed by prison Of
ficials. For twenty minutes after
Richard Quinn dropped through
the trap he hung swaying back
and forth, pleading with his exc
cutioners to draw him up and
Spring the trap again. so that his
agosy might be ended.
Quinn was a man of abnormal
strength and the muscles OF his
neck, automatically stiffening
when the rope drew tight about
him, prevented his upper spine
from being broken, and the man
slowly strangled to death.
The trap was sprung at two
minutes past five, and the mans
body shot to the length of the
rope, where It hung writhing in
agony. Realizing his predicament,
Quinn shouted:
ooh, my God, this is awful.
Haul me up, boys. and drop me
again. Hurry. take me back and
let me drop again!"
The mans cries were distinct
for several minutes and then be-
came less loud and finally waver-
ing, as unconsciousness came to
relieve his sufferings. He was pro-
uounced dead at 5:22.
Quinn killed his wife at Ever
