but there was no mlstaklng the fact
that life had departed when the straps
were removed from his face.
He had been an unpleasant sight
entering the room In life: he was q

and after this execution there was
more alacrity In getting out among
those whose invitation called for but
one act Of the four.

the door to the chair. Rabbi Gold

touch him.
Young Horowitz appeared to have
more OF sense OF the situation than
the two who had preceded him.
| He put expression and music into
the Hebrew reaponses. Although he
kept close watch OF the prayers Of
Rabbi 0oldstsin and was quick with
his replies. his quick. rowing glance
searched the room several times. and
insly swift men around him was
noted.
OF all the four Horowitz had most
the appearance OF . boy. Ono could
not help feeling pity for him As he
stretched back In the chair. He held
q prayer book In his right hand.
That hand did not culver while It
rested on the arm Of the chair during
the few seconds consumed In arrang-

over the average were required q
make ready. He had Just started q
