FETE. PRECEDES
HANGING Of
THROST
Slayer Of Pretty Teacher Host
to Four Killers in Death
House.
By international News Service.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, March
s.-'@The Feast of the Merry Muir
derers" came to an end here today
when the body Of Earle Throst,
slayer of a school teacher, slid
through the gallows trap with a
dull thump in the Iowa State prison
here. He died with artificial
bravado after playing host at q
banquet in the death house to four
other amiable killers soon to fol-
low him through the trap door.
Crlticises the Moose.
Throst criticised the methods Of
the hanging just before dying, He
protested that the warden, T. r..
HalIowell, had placed the moose. on
his chin, not under 1t. The warden
obIigingly adjusted 1t TO suit the
murderer.
Immediately his body fell through
the platform of the gibbet, three
medical students from the Iowa
State University pounced upon It
with stethescopes to listen to the
gradually snspending heart action
''for scientific study" They re-
ported nothing unusual. Twelve
minutes later Throst was pro
nounced dead.
10 the last Thrdst remained the
stole he had become in the last
few weeks. He refused to make
any statement whatsoever. When
the Rev. DIR. Erslxine, sof Plymouth
Brethrens Church, Dies Moines, APP
peared, Throst said CURLY he did
not care to accept the church. How
ever, he prayed with the clergy
man, commenting that he had conn
plete faith in his Ealvation..
Slew Pretty Teacher.
Sixty persons witnessed the exc
cutiOn in the damp Of a chill,
March rain. There was no demon
stration. Everything was done with
precision. The body was sent back
to AIlnake county for burial.
ThrOst slew Igna Magussol,
pretty county teacher. Her father
visited Throst in prison Thursday
and was met with indifference when
he told his daughters slayer he
forgave him. The murderer had
refused to discuss the case in any
way for weeks.
He attracted attention by his
gaiety and lack OF fear. He was
the merriest at the banquet last
night His guests shook hands
rather stiffIy just before he was
led to his death today The reac-
