ASK HIGH
RATE FOR THEIR SERVICES

Niagara Falls, Dec. 23.-Welland
county officials are worrying about a
double hanging which is set to take
place in the county Jail on January
18th. One of the chief causes of con-
cern is that no official hangman has
yet been engaged. In response to a
recent advertisement several appli-
cations were filed, but the fees de-
manded, ranging from 5000 to $500,
were considered too high. In the past,
officials said, $50 was sufficient to get
a man to fasten the black cap on a
condemned man and spring the trap.
The men sentenced to die are Harry
Rutka and Mich Thomas. They killed
neighbor in row over a real estate
deal.
