Slayer of Mother Hurried Executioner--No Regret
 For His Deed

Belleville, Ont, May 2-(UP)- Harold Vermilyea, who hacked his mother to death with a hatchet, was hanged in the Belleville jail yard at 12:10 a. m. today. The On- tario, Cal, man was an impatient figure exhorting his executioners to speed as he was led into the dimly lighted yard. He showed no emotion and his voice was without expression as he uttered his last words. Lets get on with this" he urged guards as his hands were being bound. "I have no regrets. Whatever error I committed was for those I love. I had no inten- tion of killing my mother. didn't know what I was doing"
 Silence signified he was ready. The death mask was adjusted, the moose put around his neck. Hang man Samuel Edwards stood ready to spring the trap. Tn the one in- stant before he plunged from the gallows, vermilyea appeared an eerie figure. An arc light brightly illuminated the scaffold while the surrounding jail yard was shadowy. Salvation Army Adjutant A. w. Martin prayed silently. Then the trap was sprung. Verimlyea was pronounced dead 80 seconds later by pr w. c. Morgan. The jury that found Vermilyea guilty of murder ing his 76-year-old mother. Mrs Nathaniel Vermilyea, was called later to view the body and affirm that the death sentence had been carried out.

MOVIE. STARS ARE
 TIRED OF GIVING
Chain Letters Are Broken So Borrowers Will Have.
 to Start Again

Hollywood, May 2.-(UP)-In case the "dime letter" writers are Interested, the movie colony today decided it can't spare dime. Those who have deluged the high salaried film folk with dime. dollar and $10 letters will have to start all over for the "chains" have been broken. The screen people decided they wouldn't participate after it was learned that hundreds of letters
 pouring into the studios have been
 ''gold bricked" with dummy names and addresses. Mae West, Marlene
 Dietrich, Bing Crosby and other
 stars have received more than 500 letters a day, studio officials said,
 and many of them are suspected of
 being ''salted" with phoney names.
 The "gold brick" variety of "dime
 letter" apparently was the brain
 child of conniving persons who de- cided to turn the racket into a get rich quick" scheme with the
 element of chance practically elim- mated. Hollywood, always tar
 get for new fads and fancies, was bounced upon as the nations most
 vulnerable spot, according to U. S. Attorney Pierson M. Hall. In-
 formed of the ''gold brick" discov-
 cry, motion picture executives
 clamped down on the circulation of
 chain letters within the studios,
 Paramount officials said the fad had
 become so popular among employees
 that 1t was interfering with the
 work. t
