As CLIENTS HANG
Court Refused to Stay Exc
cution And Five Die on
Scafold

Chicago. Feb. 16.-F'ive murderers
weer hanged in the county Jail today.
four of whom were executed while
their counsel tried vainly to obtain a
stay of the order on the ground that
their clients were insane. and one aft
er the habeas corpus proceedings in
the federal court had been denied.
The four men were Frank Ewald
Shiblawski. his brother; Philip Som
merling and Thomas Schultz, slayers
Of Fred Guelzow. Jr.. a truck farmer,
who was held up and murdered in
cold blood while returning home in
the outskirts of tho city last Octo-
Der.
The fifth was Thomas Jennings, a
negro convicted on finger print evil
dence Of the murder Of Clarence Hill
Ter. a railroad official. whose home
he attempted to rob. Jennings was
the only one Of the five who required
physical assistance to mount the scaf-
fold.
The Shiblawski brothers were the
first to mount the scaffold and the
drop had scarcely fallen whe ma ball
fr from the superior court rushed
into the Jail office and summoned
Jailer Davies to appear before Judge
Mckinley.
The command was obeyed and in.
stead Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters toll
ephoned to the Judge that two Of the
men had been hanged and other exc
cutions would proceed unless a for.
NAL writ was presented.
No writ was isued and Sommeriing
and Schultz followed their compan-
ions in crime on the glalows
Representatives Of the state attor-
ney's Office resisted the attempt to de-
lay the executions and told Judge
Mckinley the petition alleging insan-
ity. which under the law is a bar to
execution. was presented for the pur-
pose Of delay.
This was hotly denied by counsel
for the condemned men and wordy
alteration occupied the minutes In
which the four condemned men were
being prepared for the gallows.
Judge Mckinley declined to permit
the petition to be hled until 1t had
been read. The prosecutor insisted
the petitions signed by Rev. Father
Repinski was not in accord with the
facts.
The argument on the writ Of habeas
corpus was made before Judge Lam
dis. Jennings counsel declared the
finger prints evidence was inadmissa-
BILE since Jennings had been compell-
ed to give the prints while he was
In jail.
Judge Lands denied the petition
ana preparations for the NTH hanging
were begun in jail.
