When working conditions became
almost unbearable, officials of the Dis

Department divisions allowed employees
to knock off" Other Government
chiefs were lenient with their swelter-

a standstill in mid-afternoon.
Among the Treasury divisions that
shut down were the Federal Ware

Loans and Currency, Registers Office
and the Printing Division in that part

AS the sun went down and the mer-

dwellers and those living in sections
not favored by even an occasional

the parks.
Throngs spent the night sleeping in
automobiles or on the grass in Rock

counted $50 machines strung end-to-

Strapped into a crude frame chair
with his back against the prison wall,
the pale murderer was executed at

Attending physicians pronounced

The other prisoners demonstrated,

the prison walls. Shouts and means
went up from the cell blocks. Pri-

their iron doors.
Warden Davis had heard rumors of
the expression of sympathy from
Green's fellow convicts and took extra
precautions for the emergency. He
asked city police and firemen to be
ready to aid.
When the outcry started, alert
guards hurried to their places. The
tumult continued, but prison authori-

Green was silent and gave no sign

proved today by the National Aero

straight line, was made in a flight
from Chicago to the Endless Caverns

burgh probably will fly from Wash
tngton to the Valley tomorrow morn
ing for the record attempt. King, who
