CO MIRA D|CTION IS REVEALED IN hOTE
 OF HENRY HANGAR
Writes About Gun He Will Use, but No Gun
 Was Found
WHAT THE MAN WROTE

On his deathbed. Falstaff. the great Shakespearean character. "bab- bled O. green fields" Henry Hangar, the Finn. who died alone in the midst of Bacchanalian luxury in the hills back of the Calumet and Ari- zona hospital about April 10. Dab hled" of his school days in far away Finland.
 The letter found near the Finn's body. written on a piece of brown wrapping paper, was translated by Finlander yesterday after three hours work. There is hardly a con nected thought in the note. but the words are legible and the lines are written straight across the page.
 Talks About Gun
 The letter says: Now that is about all I want to say and I will go to try this machine gun. If that Is 8 bad one and will not do the work the first time I will try again. This indicates that the man was in- sane. imagining that he had in his possession an automatic pistol. or that he did not die from excessive indulgence in alcoholic liquors and exposure" as was stated in the yer. dict of the eoroner's body.
 Those who saw the body say that there was a hole in the mans side. It was then thought this might have resulted from the process of .decom- position. It might also have been the result of a gun fired close to the body An automatic pistol fired in quick succession close to the body would make a wound which, widened by the process of decompo sition. would be like that found on the Finn's body.
 No Gun Found
 However. there was no gun found anywhere near the body.
 Of what does a man think when he is about to die?
 TlIogical as the note is. it tells the thoughts of Hangar, the lone han aueter of the lonesome hills. the "Ruhavyat'' of an unlettered Finn Hal Hal" he laughs in the note. the champagne is not going to my head"
 q have drunk two bottles and I am now laughing about it," he writes.
 Serious Thoughts
 The laughter ceased and the ter rible thoughts of the hereafter in truded therselves on the hollow gaiety ob the lonely reveler.
 "Oh. God" the banGueter wrote down on the yellow. crumpled sheet do not desert the little ones voices. Like children I will go to Father and you have heard my pray CTS"
 Then he continued:
 T am not praying 10 the devil no. ho hoi"
 The craving for food and water drowned out the thoughts of the hereafter and the flesh speaks:
 q am hungry and thirsty like hell"
 The thoughts expressed in the note are rather disconnected and the translation itself. made by a Finlander who writes the English language none too well. is bad, but the following is what the note said:
 When the world leaves me I will let her 20 myself. that is all"
 The literal translation follows:
 ('That is not a coming by my own hands. all but mems a like me ought to learn in the time. But this is nothing. long as has no germs and lot of the times. but it in ninety per cent and this is the corning When ladies lie and laying but not help)
 "Ha. ba Champague is not going to my head. These drank is two bottles and now laughing about it. I think that is all
 T am opening the third bottle and I rer,arnher row when Finish A B C and Bible history learns boys fence stick faces. (An unpublishable sen tence occurs here-) The God and Christ is mine which I doubt has never been, but this is not as bad in the first world But Finish con firustion school not in use because singing one verse at the time and every boy. in different rooms a learn ing themselves and every lady teach ing boys and mems teaching ladies.
 "Put Dirt Over Me"
 "Oh God do not desert the little ones voices. Like children I will 20 to you because I know you are my father and you have heard my prayers. I am not praying to ths devil now, hoi hoi am hungry and thirsty like hell. have got no worry. am sleepy but there are not coming any water drops to my eyes don't know what is the matter. You do not need to take my body anywhere. only put some dirt over me.
 That Is about all I want to say and I win go to try this machine gun if that is a bad one. but if that v-iH not do the work the first time ! will try again. Goodbye, anybody that sees this. There ia no more I have to say. but organize like one. That is all. Goodby"
