HANDY DIES IN CHAIR.
Slayer Of Brooklyn Bankers Goes Cheer
fully to Death.

IUIly 20 Oe0xn.
Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 3O.-Cordon Faw-
cett Handy was executed in Sing Sing
prison last night for the murder of De
Witt G. Peale and Henry W. Conns in
December, 1918, when he held up and
robbed the East Brooklyn Savings Bank.
Two shocks were required to cause his
death. The executioner first threw IN
the electric switch at ll.061t, the Sec
ond shock went crashing through the
brain of the condemned man at ll.O71z
and he was pronounced dead at ll.l6
o'clock.
The electrocution of Handy brought
al end to remarkable criminal career
and his last day on earth was characterized
by the same cheerfulness and carelessness
as to his approaching death that has been
his most pronounced attributes ever since
be was convicted. Handy arose early
yesterday, and as the hour of the exocu-
tion approached he grew even more cheer
full than he had been during the day.
In the late afternoon he spent half
IN hour alone with Father William E.
Cashin. the prison chaplain, but appeared
to be absolutely disinterested so far as
spiritual consolation was concerned. He
asked specifically that neither Father
Cashin nor the Rev. A. n. Peterson, the
Protestant chaplain, walk with him to the
chair.
ut seems such mockery,n said Handy,
"after the life have been leading. to go
to the chair with priest or minister
by my side. / don't want to appear
=ungrateful, but please let me walk alone"
The body of Handy win be buried In
8 local cemetery today. No one claimed
the body and the mystery surrounding his
parentage which he had studiouslv guard
cd, remained unsolved
An autopsy disclosed that the brain of
the youthful criminal was normal"
and wei developed.
Handy maintained his composure to
the last. smiling rs he was strapped to
the chair and making a brief oral state
ment to the warden and witnesses just
before life was snuffed out.
As he left the death house he called out
70 his companions: Goodbye, fellowst
i always liked to try everything once"
The murderer gave three letters to the
warden, asking him to mail them and
keep the addresses secret.
