HANOVER. Germany. April 10"
am guilty, gentlemen, but hard though
il may be, | want to die as man.
With these words Fritz Haarmann
Hanover butcher, convicted of the MUIR
der of IS boys and men, stepped to the
guillotine early todany and a moment
later his head was severed.
In accordance with the German law
IL highly respected citizens were chosen
as official witnesses. Dressed in high
silk hats and black Prince Albert coats
they assembled at o'clock before the
guilotine, which was hidden from their
view by curtain.
The guillotine had been erected in a
secluded spot of the prison grounds
Next to it stood an altar with a cruclflx
The prosecuting attorney, stepping be-
fore the altar, dressed in his official
judicial robe. read the sentences and
the court opinion again to the as
sembled panel Of JUICES, who likewise
wore their official robes, and had then
once more confirm the sentence.
When this was done Haarmann, garb-
ed in grey prison uniform and hand
cuffed, was brought from his cell
When he faced the judges and witnesses
he nervously changed from one leg to
the other, blinked necessarily, but other
wise showed no emotion. He listened
in silence as the prosecuting attorney
repeated the sentence and agreement oi
the Judges to execution of the verdict
Only as the curtain before the guillotine
was withdrawn did the realization OF
death seem to dawn on him, and for ar
instant he appeared to be paralyzed.
But as the death bell sounded, he
pulled himself together and in few
Unconditional words acknowledged him
self guilty and ready to have the sen
tence executed, adding that he felt sorry
for his actions. few moments later
the blade was dropped.

Judged Insane at Time
of Shooting

TULSA, Okla, April 15.-Eugene
der of E. S. Hutchison, welathy Tulsa
lumber dealer, by a jury in state dis
trict court here today.
The jury returned verdict at $3.50
a. M after deliberating for nearly 13
hours.
Purdy shot and killed Hutchison in
Tulsa the night of January 13. 1925
"He broke up my home and stole my
child" Purdy told county officers i'm
mediately after the killing when he sur
rendered. His defense against a charge
of murder in the first degree was in
sanity.
The verdict of "not guilty" was re-
ported to have been reached on the
last night.
In acquitting Purdy, the jury ex-
pressed the opinion that he was insane
at the time he killed Hutchison.
The instructions of the court provid-
ed that he be acquitted II adjudged in
sane at the time Of the homicide.
There was large crowd in the court
room when the verdict was announced
Purdy Immediately was surrounded by
friends who shook his hand and con-
gratuslted him.
''This has been the longest trial oi
its kind in my experience, Judge w
3. Williams said. 81 am glad it is
over"
That the verdict was popular one
was indicated by the attitude of the
crowd. Though some women walked out
fthe court house with tears in their
eyes. the majority of the crowd was
laughing and talking.

Designated by Officer

AUSTIN, Texas, April 15.-The ques-
tion of whether State Treasurer w.
Gregory Hatcher would accept Univer-
sity of Texas oil royalties from Land
Commissioner John T. Robson without
designation, came to showdown today
when Mr.. Hatcher returned $54,377 tend
cred him by the land commissioner.
This action, which is the first step
in the legal controversy to test the con-
stitutionality of the bill permitting the
University to use these funds immediate
ly for buildings. followed upon the heels
Of letter to Robson from Hatcher in
which he asserted his intention of not
accepting such funds unless they are
designated.
In returning the funds, two checks
from the Big Lake Oil company, Mr..
Hatcher called attention to the heading
on. the schedule itcmizing the funds,
which states the money was to be ap-
piled to the accounts designated below
and to the fact that no designation was
made.
In his letter earlier in the day Mr..
Hatcher asserted that though the stat
utes do not require the land commission
er to designate funds when depositing
them with the state treasurer, precedent
set by the present commissioner and his
predecessors in which all deposits had
been designated must be followed in the
future.
This letter was in answer to a com
munication from Mr.. Robson from Mr..
Robson in which he said he would de-

short time, before it brought in a YER

sentended. Redman was killed, and
