COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 7.-Coun-
sci for Mrs. Anna Marie Hahn,
scheduled to die in the electric
! chair tonight, sought a writ of man.
damus in Federal Court today as
the last legal step in the fight to
save her life.
Joseph Hoodin. the condemned
slayer's attorney contended she was
not given proper opportunity to
defend herself. Judge Nell G. Un-
derwood said he would hear the
application later today.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hahn fought for
composure in her cell after COL
lapsing last night.
The nerves ci the condemned
poison slayer crunSsled and she Sob
bed Historically alter Gov. Martin
L. Davey declined to intervene in
the electrocution, scheduled for
about pm.
Il had no idea he would do this
to me-" moaned Mrs. Hahn, re-
peatedly kissing a p:cture of her
, 12-year-old son Osca, Finally she
collapsed and fell in a faint in her
penitentiary death row. cell. Two
matrons placed her on a bed and
revived her with spirits. She sobbed
until she dropped into fitful sleep.
Warden Says She Still Hopes.
The matrons expressed the belief
that Mrs. Hahn had given up all
hope of escape from becoming the
first woman to die in Ohio's electric
chair. But Warden j. C. Woodard
said of condemned prisoners:
They're always expecting some
thing to happen that will save
them"
Oscar will be permitted to remain
with his mother until her last meal
is served, about $50 pm. Her last
hours probably will be spent with
the prisons Catholic chaplain, the
Rev. John A. Sullivan, for whom she
has been embroidering altar cloths.
Mr. Hoodin yesterday had
asked permission to confront the
Governor with the condemned
woman's son in last desperate PEA
for clemency, but Gov. Davey said
he would not see them. The Gov-
ernor pictured Mrs. Hahn as a
cold -blooded" killer who slew in
'remorseless deliberation for money"
No Clemency Reason.
He said the case gave him more
concern than any during his four
years in office and that he had tried
to find a reason that would satisfy
his own conscience for communication
of the sentence to life imprison-
ment.
But" he added, zone opposing
thought always surged forward:
What could I say to the mothers
whose sons have had to die in the
electric chair for committing only
one murder, and then perhaps not
quite so cold and calculating as the
several murders committed by Mrs.
Hahn?"
At Cincinnati, Philip Hahn, teleg-
rapher husband of the 32-year-old
convicted prisoner, commented only
II am very sorry, friend, I have
nothing to say" when a newspaper
man advised him of the Governors
decision.

Today's Church
Message
By REV. ]. EVERETTE NEESE.
FISHERS OF MEN.


Jesus needed friends and compan-
ions to help him in telling other peo-
pie about Gods love and the new way
that they should act toward persons
about them. And so we read:
AS he was passing along the shore
of the sea .of Galilee, he saw Simon
and his brother Andrew casting their
nets in the sea, for they were fisher
men. Jesus said to them:
Come, follow me, and will make
you fishers of men,"
They Immediately abandoned their
nets and followed Him. He went on a
little farther and saw James, the son
of Zebedee, and his brother John
they too were in their boat putting
their nets in order. He Immediately
called them. And they left their father
Zebedee in the boat with the hired
men and went off after Him. Mark
1:16-2O. Revised.
Just as fisherman gathers in the
fish with his net, 30 it is possible for
us by means Of smiling faces and
kindly words and helpfUl deeds Ia
draw people into the big circles of
friendship which Jesus started.

'M the Bag" Motto of
Chief Warden Joe KraU.

A sack and determination seems to
be the only necessary adjuncts for cap
turing wild animals by Chief Warden
Joe Krall and if sacks hold out, Joe
will soon rival, Frank Buck, who also
brings 'em back alive"
Two weeks ago Joe captured a full
grown beaver by means of a sack and
last week he took 90-pound timber
wolf in the same manner
Brother Wolf had been caught with a
snare by the leg. Assisted by Wardens
B. S. Carlson and James Colby, Chief
Krall tied and sacked the animal, after
wards carrying him to the road in
packsck.
The beast was secured for the Uni
versity of Illinois, which institution
desired it for experimental purposes.
The wolf was captured in the Portage
River district where they are said to
be quite numerous.
This district seems to furnish nat
ural environment for wild life of all
kinds. 1t is no uncommon sight to
see up to ten bears at one time at the
incinerator of CCC camp TIL. Hun
dreds of tourists travelling the Ely
Buyck road have marveled at the wild
game sights along this road.

Quarter Removed From
Little Girls Throat.

Luverne-Norma Olson, age 8,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Olson
of Luverne, had narrowing experience
last week when she inadvertently swal-
lowed a quarter. The accident hap
pened on Monday and the little girls
condition became serious enough so
that she was taken to McKennan hos
pital in Sioux Falls, Wednesday. A
specialist inserted a tube down her
throat with an electric light at the end,
which enabled him to locate the coin
and after several tries, he succeeded
in extracting the quarter. The spec
ialist's services are reported to have
cost $50 and he kept the coin. The way
Mr.. and Mrs Olson have it summed up,
they spent $50 to get Is cents. The
little girl rallied nicely from her ex-
perience and today is playing with her
dolls as usual, apparently in the best
of health.
