trio chair without regret.

wife. After he admitted the hoax he
was returned to his cell and ordered

ment. This was done. the local DO
lice say, at the request of Detective

IN general and l was determined to go
the limit" Harris replied Il made
up my mind l had disgraced my peo-
pie for the last time; that this time
would be the last, even if l went to
the chair for it."
Then you meant to commit sui
cide?"
Well. you can put it that way"
Asked why he had changed his
story, Harris said it was because he
couldn't get away with it."
