MURDER MACHINE NOW IS REPORTED
Texan Claims Men Are Slain as
 Alleged Bandits

Austin. Texas, March lS P- Posting of reward of $5,oo0 for each dead bank robber in an effort by the state bankers association to curb holdups has brought a charge from Captain Frank Hamer of the Texas Rangers that murder ma- chine" has been created.
 In a statement declaring he could prove that four men have been lured to death by a group which shared the rewards. Captain Hamer challenged bankers association off. cials to start an investigation. Cap tain Hamer offered to wager w. NJ. Massett, president of the associa- tion, that he tHamer) could show these rewards should not have been paid.
 Captain Hamer alleged that two men slain recently at Odessa and Rankin, Tex, 'in bank robbing jobs, were not bank robbers at all" He declared they were shot down by officers who were tipped" that the robberies were to take place and that the men acting as informant to the authorities had arranged the holdup.
 Explaining that he was not con- demning peace officers. Captain Hamer said the authorities had no way of knowing there were irregu- larities in the "iohSn
 "fhe officers in every case were working on tips which had come to them that the bank was to be rob- bed" he said. What they did was perfectly natural, but they did not know that the same man who fur nished them. either directly or indi- rectly with the tip, had at the same time planned and organized the ban dits and directed their operations"
 Captain Hamer cited a recent con- fessed ''frame-up" in which two Mexicans were killed at Stanton, Texas. Two men have been charged with murder in connection with these killings.
 He declared he could produce evidence to show that only one pro- fessional hank robber had been killed since the reward was posted.

 IN ELECTRIC CHAIR "Baby Face' Gleason, Murderer,
 Faces the End Calmly

Boston, March 13 tP-Herbert J. Gleason, known as Baby Face bandit, walked 10 the death chair Tn CharlestoNn state prison kissing a cruciiiX early today 10 pay with his life for the murder of James A Monagle, Medford storekeeper, dur ing holdup.
 \ short time before the hour set for the execution. Gleason wrote a brief statement which was delivered to the prison chaplain with instruc- tions 10 make 1t public after the prisoners death. It read:
 His Letter
 ''Tor my mothers sake I had hoped my sentence would be com muted to life Imprisonment, I am ready 10 die and die asking forgive ness of all whom l may have in jured. l am thankful to all who aid sa me and especially my attorney, John w. Connolly. Sheriff Fairbairn and the prison officials"
 The crime for which Gleason died was committed in November, 1926. He and two other youths entered Monagle's store and ordered him to hold up his hands. Monagle resisted and hurled meat cleaver nt Glea- son. whereupon Gleason shot and killed the storekeeper. All three es- capped at the time, but Gleason was arrested few days later at Farm ington, Me, and soon after con- fessed his crime, He was found guilty Of murder and sentenced to death.

Murphy. prison chaplain, and even as he walked Into the death chamber few minutes after mid- night today maintained his calm. He was pale. however, a contrast to the pink flush on his cheeks that earned him the name of Baby Tace.'
