DOOMED MAN
LIVING AS ONE
ALREADY DEAD
Church incapable of Feeling As
He Awaits Execution
Tomorrow.
BY JAMES l.. KILGALLEN,
International News Service.


CHICAGO. March dead now,
Harvey w. Church, doomed
murderer and "semi-corpse" OF the
county Jail. will go to his physical
death on the gallows tomorrow with
out suffering the slightest pain. He
will pass on without knowing what
Calls 1t Remarkable.
This was the prediction today OF
DIR. w. j. Hickson, head OF Chicagos
laboratory, who REGARDS
the Church case as one of the most
that has challenged the
attention of the medical profession.
He won't feel a thing" said DR..
Hickson. He is emotionally dead.
Church, actually twenty-three. but
having the appearance OF man OF
forty-five or fifty, lies on cot In the
Jail. impervious of his surroundings
He Is as near dead as II is possible
for him to be without being legally
and officially dead. He has not
eaten for more than forty days. His
avs are locked. He has been forcibly
fed liquid food through the nose. His
eyes have been closed tight FOR Il
month. His body retains death-lik
rigidness. His face is wax-like, the
face OF death. He has grown long,
black beard.

who has examined him. Il put my
whole weight on his jaw, but /
couldn't bulge it,
Others who examined Church stuck
pins in his eyeballs and under his
fingernails, tickled his feet, and
burned the inside of his nose with
lighted cigarettes-to no avail.
Church was unresponsiVe.
Church is simply a case OF
'closed-in' personality" explained DR..
Hickson. He has cut himself off
from contact with the outside world.
He doesn't know what is happening
about him. He is a victim of demen-
tia praecox. and to hang him would
be a blot on civilization and dis
grace to the community"
The doomed man is an arch-pre-
tender, in the opinion Of sundry
alienists. despite the tests" he has
undergone.
He is a fakir," said DIR. II.

list. He is suffering from self
hypnosis.

IL have examined him. He is in
state of auto-hypnosis, resulting
from hysteria and fear, not from
