Ossnng, Jan 29.-Today is Cor
don Fawcett Hamby's last day or
earth.
He is scheduled to go to the cleo
trio chair at IL o'clock tonight to
pay the penalty for the murder of
.wo employees Of the Brooklyn Saw
ings bank which institution he held
up.
Handy showed no signs of weak
sning in his attitude of bravado
which made him the most unusual
prisoner to occupy the death cell at
Sing Sing. He has persistently re.
fused to sanction any effort to save
his life and has as persistently re
fused to tell any of the history Of
his family connections.

due to come up several votes shy
