The last real chance that Gerald
Chapman, super-crook, bandit and
iail breaker. W no is due to hang to-
night at midnight, had to escape
from prison and thus evade the
moose, came in August, 1925, Federal
postal officials here revealed for the
first time today. Chapman lost his
chance and the grim prison walls
continued to encircle him, despite
efforts made to save him.
The warden OF the Wetherstield
State Prison, Hartford, Conn, dur
ing August, 1925, received two nov
els neatly packed and addressed to
Chapman. A return address on the
package showed that it was sent
from Akron, Ohio.
Because Chapman was not permit
ted to receive packages or parcels,
the warden took the books home
with him. He and his wife read
them. They were placed in the
prisoS library.
Saws Discovered
A "trusty' in charge of the Ii
brarv examined the books care
fully.
He found six saws. three in each
book.
1t is reported that fhe discovered
the rear of the front covers of both
books had been severed. He recut
them and found the saws neatly
wrapped in place between the bind
ing and the back Of the pages.
Immediately Federal officials be-
gan tracing the sender of the books.

WETHERSFIELD PRISON, Hart
ford, Conn, April 5.-Gerald Chap
man stood in the shadow of the gal
lows today and pleaded with the
Connecticut pardon board for his
own life.
Less than eleven hours were left
for the bandit to live, should his ef-
fort fail, yet as calm and steady as
if he were merely lawyer pleading
for some client-more calm, perhaps
the man fought his last fight for
existence.
After Chapman made his dramatic
plea the board adjourned to con-
slider his fate. A decision was eX-
pected soon.
His personal appeal was the eli
max of a day remarkable in the
annals of criminal cases.
Voice Long Still
Il don't know if | can control
my voice enough for you to under
stand me, because 1 haven't used
it for a year now, as you can appre-
ciate," he said in opening. Il didn't
come here this morning with the in
tention of speaking, but in view of
some of Mr.. Alcorns statements that
could be hardly overlooked. 1 have
decided to do so.
"Of course, l have acquired a
sense of futility of the whole pro.
cedure. Mr.. AIcorn says that ]
did not protest my innocence.
Well, don't think l could have
protested loud enough from my
solitary confinement to have been
heard at any distance"
Chapman kept clearing his throat,
but his voice was steady and he
seemed to speak with a slight for
eign accent.
"You gentlemen are confronted" q"
he went on, with a problem that
is so monstrous that it is almost use
less to protest. 1t is stupendous.
I know nothing about the legal as
poets of the matter, but l can un-
derstand it humanity.
81 thought / would go over what
has transpired since my arrest in
Muncie.
II might also take up some of this
business of sidestepping by the

Beams-A Joke
At this point Chapman beamed
much like a university professor,
who had made a joke for his class,
and said:
Il don't feel obliged to employ
any hypOcriticaI phrases toward
this court. / feel that they are
human and not only feel humanIy,
but think humanity"
He then went on to explain why
he had not protested aaginst his
transfer from Atlanta to Con.

FIGURES TELL
HO0SIER farm
TALE OF woe
Number Decreases 10000 in
Five Years, U. S.-Purdue
Reports Show.

The Hoosier farmers tale of woe
was told today in Federal farm
census figures released by the
United States Department of Agri'
culture and Purdue University Agri-
culture Experiment Station.
The number of Indiana farms has
decreased approximately 10000 in
the last five years, the census
shows.
Their average value has shrunk
from $125.9S an acre in 1920 to
$500 an acre.
A 42.4 per cent shrinkage in value
from S2,653, ,643,973 in 1920 to ST.
sos, ,9O4,S63 in 1925 was shown.
The census shows Hoosier farm
ers sunk further in the slough of
agricultural despond than the aver
age farmer of the nation by a con-
siderable distance.
Worse Than Nation as Whole
The decrease in the number Of
farms for the whole country was
only IL per cent compared to the
4.6 per cent decrease in Indiana from
205,126 farms in 1920 to 195,7S7 in
1925.
The average value of farm build.
ings dropped SO per cent, from
$12, ,9S7 in 1920 to $S,667 in 1925.
Non-owners operate more than a
fourth or 1872 per cent of Indiana s
farms, it was shown, compared to
SO per cent, five years ago.
All land in Indiana farms dropped
5.4 per cent, from 21,063,332 acres to
19,917,7S0 acres. The smaller num-
Der of farms coupled with q, de-
creased acreage changed the aver
age acreage A farm from 1921 in
1920 to 101.7 in 1925.
Larger Corn Holdings
The crop estimate bulletin. how
on the farms of the State March l
was the largest in ten years, ex-
ceeding the next largest by Z per-
cent, and being three times larger
than last years holdings. The in
creased amount is estimated at 25,.
100000 bushels.
Despite the smaller crop and
higher prices, wheat on farms ex-
ceeds last years holdings by 1872, 900
bushels. Oats supplies are lower,
while barley and rye holdings are
larger.
