Boise, Idaho, Dec. 10-(UP)- Douglas Van vlack died in bed as he wished today, 30 minutes after he was to have been hanged for fi1tir- der. He died in the prison hospital by his own effort, e headlong dive from the catwalk of the third tier of cells, 30 feet to the concrete floor below. His neck was broken, such as the hangman would have broken 1t. He added half ail hour to his lifes span but was unconscious foi more than four hours. All the time Warden William Cess waited to have him hanged "as soon as he was con scious." During that four hours t was doubtful whether he was going to die in bed or on the rope.
 The law said that no insane oi unconscious man might be hanged so the matter was in the wArdefiS hands, and the doctors. Gov. Braz. illa Clark opposed the execution but refused to intervene. None of 1t ffiat- tered in the end. For 20 minutes Van Vlack sat perched beside the third tier of cells, where he climbed hand over hand tip q projecting rod after he sprang from his cell. Below was his lawyer pleading with him to wait; the warden reinoilstrating with guards to hurry; the guards spreading a net to catch him, but too late.
