JACKS GIRLS SLAYER
 PAYS FOR HIS CRIME
Miquel, Who Recently Els. capped, Dies in Electric
 Chair

Belletonte, Pa, March 25 Rl- Alyerez Miquel. 2S year old Cuban o' Pottsville. Pa. was electrocuted at Eockyiew penitentiary today for the murder Of Miss Louise Jacks also of Pottseille.
 Dr. Asa Hickok, prison physician, pronounced Miquel dead at 7:o6 this morning, four minutes after the single contact of current had been applied.
 The slayer was attended by Rev. Father Francis P. McCreesh, prison chaplain, and Rev. Father Quinn, Of Pottsyille. He left his cell for the march to the death house without making a statement or without ap- parent sign of emotion.
 Escaped 16 Days Ago
 SiXte7n days before his life was claimed by the state for the mur- der Of his sweetheart. Louise Jacks. Miquel escaped fro mthe Schuylkill county Jail. State and county police. aided by bloodhounds. took up the trail in one Of the most vigorously prosecuted man-hunts central Penn sylyania has ever known Seventeen hours later he was captured at Cres- soma, near Pottsville. but not until he had felled state policeman with . bullet wound in the head.
 His manner of escape from jail vas the serious business of a speciaI 1 grand jury which, after ten days of investigation. returned indictments against the warden and several others. The investigation revealed many alleged irregularities. and that Miquel's escape was not hindereJ by any prison officials
 Miquel was convicted on Decem- her 10. 1928, for staying Miss Jachs in January of that year. He was originally sentenced 10 die on Febru- cry 25, but was given a respite for one month by Governor Fisher to permit the state board Of pardons to review his case. The boards refusal 10 commute his sentence to life i'm prisonment closed the last legal ave- nue of his fight for life.
