STATE HANGS
YOUNG SLAYER

FOLSOM PRISON, Calf. June
81. UP)-Aldrich Welsford Lutz, 49,
year-old Portland, Ore, dairy work.
er went calmly to his death on the
galloWs today for the murder of
Frank d. Angermeier, 62, of Duns-
muir.
The trap was sprung at 1902 a.
m. and the youth was pronounced
dead at 1914.
Resigned to his fate and appar-
entity willing to die because he kill
ed a man who befriended him, Lutz
made no last minute plea for Gle
mency. He previously had notified
Gov. Frank F.. Merriam that he
preferred to die and did not want
any stays of execution. The state
supreme court denied his appeal
and the governor declined to in
terVene.
The youth spent much of the
night writing letters to relatives
and friends. Contents of these were
not revealed. He slept very little
but ate a hearty breakfast two
hours before the execution.
The Rev. Barr Lee, Episcopal
minister from Sacramento, stayed
in the death cell with him this
morning and accompanied him,
Warden Court Smith and two
guards on the long walk from the
cell to the execution chamber.
Lutz walked firmly, his head
erect. He did not hesitate as he
approached the 13 steps and need
ed no assistance to mount them.
He appeared cool as he stepped
through the door onto the trap
platform. He made no statement as
the warden instructed him to step
onto the trap. AS he moved onto
a circle marking the center of the
trap door, one attendant slipped
the black hood over his head, an
other quickly adjusted the moose
and the trap was sprung almost in
stantly.

DOOMED MAN
PREPARED To
NEE 7 DEATH

CANON CITY, Colo, June 21.
U.P)-A laughing, joking youth to-
day was prepared, apparently with
out fears or regrets, to meet the
death he had sought to have ad-
vanced
He was Leonard Lee Belongia
young farmland who killed his
employer for few dollars.
Tonight at p. m. CMSTD, bar
ring only an unlikely reprieve from
Gov. Edwin C. Johnson, Belongia
must inhale, in the little yellow le-
thai gas chamber at the state pen
itentiary here, the deadly fumes of
hydrocyanic acid gas
His execution follows by just
three weeks that of John and Louis
Pacheco, Mexican brothers with
whom he wished to die. Prior to
their death, he had sought to gain
permission of Governor Johnson
to go to the gas chamber with
them. The governor could not grant
the request.
Today, in his death row cell Be-
longia chartered merrily with War
den Roy Best, Sheriff Lou Work
er of Pueblo, and the United Press
correspondent
His eyes had a strange, unnatur-
al glaSsiness about them, but his
words belied his almost crazed ap-
pearance. He spoke as though per-
fectly rational, and his happiness
at the thought of approaching
death appeared entirely genuine.
rs everything all right, Lee?'
Warden Best asked him.
Sure, Warden" the doomed
youth replied, smiling broadly.
I'm glad I'm to die, instead of
getting a life sentence" he said.
THAT would mean I'd finally get
out and then undoubtedly I'd do
the same thing all over again. The
world is better off with me dead.
There's something in me that
makes me a criminal, and I can't
help it. I haven't the will power. s."

FINE TALK At

r. P. Moore, vice-president and
general manager for the Southern

Imperial Ice and Development
company, was speaker of the day
at this moons meeting of the XII
wants club at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Facts and figures were given by
the speaker relative to the organ
ization of the two companies,
Moore stating that neither is own
ed by the other, but rather that
they are brother and sister con-
Germs, contrary to the general un-
derstanding.
Moore was appointed vice-presi-
dent to coordinate the two indus
tries and since he has been appoint
ed to that office he has been asked
many questions relative to their Or
ganization which he has been
pleased to answer and which he
will continue to answer whenever
they are put to him by interested
parties.
He explained the taxation set-up
and told Kiwanis that with the re-
turn of public utilities to the coun-
ties it is his opinion that the bur-
den of taxation borne by land in
the valley will be relieved consid-
erably.

motion pictures relative to Boulder
Dam, construction on the Allan
erican canal, Parker dam and the
Los Angeles aqueduct-

ing her own accompaniment on the

To END LIFE
WITH POISON

NEW YORK. June 81. UP)-In
keeping with the bizarre Staying of
his wife and wounding of the man
he believed to be her lover, Peter
Christ, 80, ripped two poison tab
let's from his coat lining in homi-
eide court today and gulped them
down.
Christ's spectacular act in court
showed the same cunning that he
displayed in forcing his way into
his Wifes apartment, killing her
and setting up a homemade cleo
trio chair allegedly to torture and
kill a man who admitted himself
to the apartment later. The in
tended victim escaped by a desper-
ate dash for the door, but was
wounded
ChriSt'S young son witnessed the
killing of his mother, the slayer
later walked into the office of a
newspaper and announced the
crime.
Taken to court today for ar
raignment, Christ announced:
I've just taken poison"
He fell to the floor writhing in
pain.
He was taken to the prison ware
of Bellevue hospital where it wa:
believed he would recover. His ar.
raignment was postponed.
Since his arrest, Christ has asked
permission to kill himself.
