SLAYER OF MOTHER
 AND BABY EXECUTED

Little Rock, March 13.-Unassisted and apparently with no hesitancy, John Hawkins, an Ashdown negro. walked into the death chamber at the state penitentiary Tuesday morning, took his seat in the death chair. and surrendered his life in payment for his brutal murder of Mrs. Ben Diles, wife of an Ashdown section hand fore man. and her 15-months-old daughter, November 3 last.
 The electric current which sent Hawkins to his death was turned into the chair at 7:30 o'clock.
 Sunday Hawkins made a written confession of the double murder, de- scribing how he shot Mrs. Diles to death while she was begging for her life and the life of her child, and how, after shooting Mrs. Diles, he used the butt end of the single-barreled shotgun as club in ending the life of the infant.
