FIVE MuRDERERS
DIE ON GALLoWS
Incident Has Increased Sentiment
Against Death Penalty,

Chicago, Feb. 16.-More men were
hanged in Chicago today than suffer-
ed death for throwing the bombs in
Haymarket Square in the anarchist
riots Of 1885. =
Two murders sent five men to the
gallows while four were hanged for
the Haymarket bomb throwing. Frank
Shiblawski, Ewald Shiolawski, his
brother; Phillip Sommerling and
Thomas Schultz, slayers Of Fred W.
Guelseow, Jr., a truck farmer whom
they killed in Geld blood after robbinb
him, died while their spiritual adviser
was seeking to convince a judge that
the four were insane
The execution of the men, who were
hanged in pairs. cut short the plea.
The hanging of Thomas Jennings.
negro, who killed Clarence Hitler
while attempting to rob the Hitler
home, took place after Judge Lands
in the United States district court had
denied petition for his release on
writ Of habeas corpus, This wrot set
forth that Jennings was convicted on
finger print evidence which he was
compelled 10 give the police in VIOLA
tion of his rights
Judge Lands did not rule on the
competency Of the evidence holding
that the point if taken to the federal
courts at all should have been car
rled directly to the United States su-
preme, court from the state supreme
court. He also declined to consider
an affidavit by a photographer that
he was asked by the police to retouch
photographs of Jennings finger prints
and sharply criticized the man who
made the affidavit for delaying to
make his statement until the trials
and appeals were over.
The five hangings caused many to
discuss the abolition of capital punish
ment in Illinois. Sheriff thinner said:
Il am not sure. I believe in the
wisdom Of capital punishment. 1t Is
the law and we are here to carry out
the law. But 1t seems to me that i'm
prisonment for life would be a greater
deterrent to crime"
Mayor Harrison also declared: Some
times I think it would be better to do
away with capital punishment and
substitute-life Imprisonment. But the
law shoald make it impossible to es-
cape the prison penalty except on evil
dence'
