victed of the murder of his wife. her
unborn babe and a ragged stranger
whom he hired to stage fake hold
up, was hanged at the Cook county
Jail at 7:19 o'clock this morning.

prayer after a minister. -
Asked if he had anything to say. he
replied in the Affirmative, and as the
shroud was adjusted on his head
started the song, "Oh, Pal, Why Don't
You Answer Me-" He was singing
when the trap dropped.
The chorus of the song Wanderer
chose is as follows:
.The long night through 1 wait for
you;

My arms embrace an empty space.
The arms that held you tenderly.
If you can hear my prayer away up
there,
Q pal. why don't you answer me?''
:. Kills Dupe In Fake HoId-Up.
The crime for which Wanderer was
hanged was the murder of his dupe
in the fake hold-up, who recently
was identified as Edward J. Ryan.
Wanderer also was convicted for the
murder of his bride of less than a
year and her unborn child. but the
jury in that case fixed his punish
ment at twenty-five years imprison-
