CALGARY, Alta, Canada, Oct. 20.
Mrs. Louisa Northcott, mother of

asserted accomplice in the alleged
ak Staying Of little Walter Collins

farm" was today ordered extra.
dited to the United States.
Mrs. Northcott will be returned
to California, where she will face
charges of murder in connection
with four child-murders.
/, The extradition order came after
a hurried conference between au-
thorities and investigators.
After reading affidayits made by
Stanford Clark, Is, nephew of
Northcott, which cited the alleged
murders OF four boys. Judge Simms
declared that a prima facie case
OF murder had to be made out and
that he ordered both Northcott and
his mother to be taken to California
to stand trial.
Meanwhile, it was reported that
Mrs. Christine Collins, mother of
Walter Collins, said to have been
one of the murder farm" victims,
brought suit against the city of
Los Angeles for half a million dol
lars damages on the ground of
false arrest.

was thrown off balance when the
moose was adjusted. Father Fleming,
who conducted him to the sallows,
declared today that he believed the
"Fox' had swooned.
ST was with him in his cell when
Warden Holohan came for him."
Father Fleming said. Hickman
held out his hand and declared: See.
il trembles a bit, but that is not
from fear. I am not afraid and
yet he tainted on the gallows.''
Tested Himself Before
Hickman, it was learned from a
confidant, tested himself in a sim
liar manner, after he had slain
Marion Parker.
II held out my hand to see If it
trembled," Hickman told this con-
fidant. 1T didn't tremble.''
Prison authorities believe that
Hickman was strangled because he
tainted. The drop was shortened
when his legs caved from beneath
him.
Hickman retained his nerve"
until about 10 minutes after 9
O'Clock yesterday morning. He ate
a hearty dinner the evening before
the execution, but the following
morning, after he had spent a part
Of the night in telling his guards
OF his crime, he scarcely touched
his breakfast
Warden Holohan brought him lei
tiers from his mother and other
relatives shortly after o'clock yes
terday. Then the mask Of indiffer-
enee was whisked away. Sobbing
like q child, Hickman buried hi3
head in his hands as he sat on the
edge of his iron cot.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the
somber death march began and
Hickman, following his spiritual
adviser, walked into the crowded
room.
Smiled On GalIows
The condemned man essayed a
smile as he reached the top of the
gallows. Dead white. he stood there,
clad in an ill-fitting suit of black,
and with a pair of felt slippers on
his feet. The silence in that room
was more deafening than a terrific
thunder storm.
Fifteen minutes later Hickman
had paid with his life for his
crime.
And while he was dying three
men crashed to the floor. Sickened
by the sight.
They tainted.
One Of them was Nick Lucas, a
burly detective who accompanied
Hickman from Pendleton. Ore,
where he was captured after his
flight from southern California, to
Los Angeles.
Then Hickman's remains were
taken to the Holy Cross Cemetery.

I robbed a big house there. left
a green cap. This cap / left in q
house at Newport. It was full of
blood. There was lot of mystery
about the blood, but it was caused
by me cutting my hand on the
window.
When inquiry was made of Phiia-
delphia authorities. they replied that
the badly decomposed body of an
unidentified boy had been discovered
at a time corresponding with thee
murder as detailed in Panzram's
confession, but that it had been
buried without autopsy.
Panzram was reported to be one OF

fesslon seems to have eased his
conscience and that he gives no

STATUARY GROUPS
CHOSEN FOR SPAN
Commission Decides PyIons
Would Not Be Proper for
Arlington Bridge.

After a demonstration this morning
the Fine Arts Commission decided to
use sculptural groups at me Washing
ton end of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge instead of pylons. as originally
proposed. Sculptural groups also ill be
used at the entrance of the Rock Greek
Parkway.
This decision was reached after men,
bers of the Fine Arts Commission had
gathered from various cities at the
Washington end of the Arlington Bridge
a little after 10 o'clock this morning
and viewed life-size facsimile photo
graphs of an equestrian statue place1
in the exact position where the fir shed
statuary will eventually stand.
Largest Photographs.
The photographs are the largest ever
made by the Signal Corps Photographic
laboratory at the Army War College.
They are Is feet inches high and ap-
proximately 16 feet long. In making
them 527 square feet of Photographic
paper was used, and 1t required two
working days on the part of two men
to- copy enlarge and match the vari-
Gus sections.
1t had been originally intended to
place pylons at this end of the bridge,
but Lieut.. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3rd. and
the other Army engineers who are in
direct charge of the work thought that
the size of the proposed pylons would
be out of scale with the Lincoln Me-
morial which is only short distance
from the end of the bridge. and sug-
gested groups of statuary instead.
Commission Members.
The members of the Finance Com
mission who met in the open aid at
the bridge end this morning, are
Charles Moore, chairman; Lorado Taft
of Chicago. Abram Garfield of Cleve-
land. Benjamin w. Morris of New
York, Ferruccio Vitale of New York,
Ezra Winter of New York, John w.
Gross of New York and H. P. Caem-
merer of this city, secretary to the
commission.
Besides Lieut.. Col Grant there was
also present j. C.. Mehassey. engineer
officer in direct charge of the bridge
work under Col. Grant.
The original plan for the approach
to the Virginia end of the bridge will
be carried out without change in the
present specifications
