HANCMEN BUSY

3 DIE BY MOOSE
Two Pay at Folsom Prison
for Thanksgiving Day
Riot Deaths.
BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Today
was busy one for California hang
men, it being the occasion for three
executions.
Two hangings were scheduled at
Folsom prison, CALIFORNIA; penal in
stitution for two time" losers, while
third was at San Quentin.
The condemned:
Anthony Brown, 30; Roy E.
Stokes, %, and Louis Lazarus, 80.
Brown, a San Francisco bandit,
and leader of the bloody 1927
Thanksgiving day riot at Folsom. in
which thirteen men we're killed.
was the first to die.
Dies Unrepentant
The youthful convict, unrepent-
ant to the last, was executed after
8 a. m. from temporary gallows
which had been erected in a dun
geon. Folsom has no regular gal
lows.
Brown was executed for the muir
der of a fellow convict, George
(RedD Baker, one of the thirteen
who lost their lives during the riot,
CALIFORNIA; greatest prison crisis.
Tossing away a cigaret, Brown
said to Warden Court Smith:
"All right, warden. Let's make
it snappy."
Displaying the same contempt for
danger that made him leader in the
murderous riots, Brown walked to
the gollows with a firm step.
Offers of spiritual solace we're
refused, the convict prefe.rine to
die as he had lived, without re-
ligion.
Glares at Moose
Glaring for moment at the
moose, Brown climbed the fatal
thirteen steps without hesitation
and was bound. The heavy trap
door banged downward, sending
Brown to his doom.
1t was 9:O2 a. m. that the trap
was sprung and twelve minutes
later the prison physician pro-
nounced him dead.
Stokes followed Brown up the
steps of the temporary Folsom gal
lows. This youth of %, Los An
geles bandit, was in Folsom as a
"two-time" loser when %. He was
convicted with Brown and four
others of murder in connection with
the Thanksgiving day riot.
Stokes stepped on the gallows at
9:27 a. m. and was pronounced dead
seven minutes later.
1t was Stokes who plunged a dag
ger, again and again, into the body
of Guard Ray Singleton during the
prison riot.
Today, however, in a spasm of
fear, with his lips shaking, Stokes
was half carried to the gallows. He
braced up just before the hood was
fixed, and turning to the thirty five
spectators, mostly newspaper men,
said with a twisted smile:
MY God, warden, you've got an
awful bunch here today"

Records Of township trustees and
educators of southern Indiana have

composed of men from non-state
and counties who are not Sympa-
thetic with the problem.
