DEATH CELL BARBER
OUT AFTER 20 YEARS
Safety Razor Made His Sing
Sing Tasks Lighter.

The one barber in the world who
hailed the invention of the safety razor
with unbounded JOY turned his back on
Sing Sing prison yesterday and promised
himself the comfort of close shave and
haircut this morning in somebody
elses chair.
He Is Henry Dorsch, So, and for
twenty years he has been tho official
barber to the inmates OF Sing Sing g
death house and the prison hospital as
well. When he killed his wife in Brook
lyn tho safety razor had not come and
Dorsch was compelled to shave the death
house inmates with the old fashioned
blades. 1t was ticklish task; since the
nerves of man on his way to the cleo
trio chair could be expected to be none
too steady. So Dorschs work for a
number of years was accomplished with
a couple of guards standing at his side.
The coming of the safety razor helped
Dorsch out of some OF his troubles. but
no still had to guard against the theft
of his blades. Among the we'll known
inmates of the death house to whom
Dorsch ministered were Albert T. Pat
rick, Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, Roland Mol
ineux and score of others. His term
expired yesterday and he said he was
coming back 20 New York to see what
had happened here in the twenty years
he was away.

actual conditions there in a statemen;
issued yesterday by Major F. II. La

Mr., LaGuardia said that many stories

relatives were not sufficiently warned
before they entered the wards and that
some OF them had been greatly shocked
when taken upstairs to the "basket
cases" to find sons. husbands and broth
ers with both arms and legs missing.
One story. the Congressman said, went
go far as to say that woman with a
child In her arms had tainted upon ind
ing her husband in that condition.
Il visited the hospital without warn
Ing Monday morning and did not find a
case OF that kind at ALL" said Mr.. La
Guardia.
