John McHenry, About
70 Die, Has Face
of Cberubirn

John McEenry. an enigma
morally, j. even moro Of riddle
physic1ily.
In appearance he bellies every
detail OF the events that have
placed him at the gallow's edge.
"A strikingchap and remarkably
clean-looking, ne has never trod
the primrose path; or clear, liquid
eyes and fresh wholesome skin
are deceiving ear-marks.
This is McHenry.
Black hair, pathetically streak
ed gray and brushed back from q
broad, high forehead; wide-set
hazel brown eyes which, gaze con-
fidingly from under luxurious,
black lashes---lashes a stage
beauty might covet; q straight
nose and arched mouth, spoiled
by upper teeth which protrude.
His chin Is boyish, yet firm. The
ears stick out. s
On the, whole q distinctive,
choir-boy countenance.
His nails are religiously kept.
Even in q drab army shirt he
appears attractive. His appeal
to women would be strong. He
cares nothing for them.
bad companions--all male"
engineered his doom.
McHenry is the pet" type.
Kindness could be his corrector
cruelty makes him desperate: The
nightly beatings of a prizefighter
father forced him from home at
the age Of eleven. On the other
hand, the kind Rev. Father Kirby
could stand him on his head with
a word.
81 never knew there was
fellows like him in the world"
said this kid, brave because he's
stupid, and about to die because
fate elected him for destinies his
physical nature could not cope
with.

"McHenry is a moron-he Is not
responsible for his acts. and to
execute him for the killing OF

care would be a travesty on Justice, :"
today declared Samuel McComas
Hawken, Of the law firm of Hawke n
4 Havell, counsel for the condemned
young man.
"If 1 did not believe that Nc.
Henry is insane; that he is not rs-
sponsible for his acts, I would not
go out OF my way to attempt to save
the young mans life," said Mr..
Hawken.
But after having many talks with
him and having studied every word,
every act of his. I am convinced that
McHenry is insane-that he should
be placed In an asylum. where he
could be treated by medical experts
"McHenry's grandmother died
while she was insane, his mother II
has been shown, although forty-six
years old, has the mentality of "
ten-year-old child. McHenry's young
er sister also has been examined and
found to mentally deficient. There
has been a streak OF insanity all
through the maternal side Of the Nc
Henry family.
ANY person who studies the past
life Of McHenry could reason no
other conclusion than that he Ia
mentally wrong. This, in my opin-
ion, being true, how can they send
that boy to the gallows7"
