MURDERER IS
 IMPUDENT SELF
Edward Haight Faces Ex. ecutiOn for Murder of
 Two Little Girls

White Plains, N. F., Nov, 6-(UP) Edward Haight, i7-year-old la, borer, had recovered his careless impudent manner in his cell today although he faced execution for the kidnap-murder of 2 and Swear old sisters.
 The motorcycle riding, knife carrying, boastful youth had & mo- ment of sobriety when a jury pro nounced him guilty last night and made the death sentence manda- tory.
 A jury of six mothers and six married men deliherated s6 min utes on Knights fate last night, AS 1t returned to the courtroom past the detention cell, Haight was whistling popular tunes,
 Ills face fell when the foreman pronounced him guilty of murder in the first degree, and he quietly answered the customary questions about his pedigree for the court records.
 But his face lighted again while he was waiting to be taken back to his cell and he resumed the chuckling that had marked his be- havior during the two-week trial, Judge Frank H, Coyne will impose mandatory death sentences on both charges next Tuesday.
 Haight, odd-job man of Stam- ford, Conn, stole a station wagon last Sept. IA,
 He decided he wanted woman and after being repulsed by several older girls, lured Margaret Lynch, ', and her sister, Helen, 8, into the station wagon.
 He bound. gagged, mutilated them, ran the station wagon over one, and finally threw Margaret into brook and Helen into Kensico reservoir. Police arrested him shortly after ward, because he bragged, while eating a hamburger, about how the cops had chased him.
 He readily confessed and re-en- acted his crimes. while he was being photographed with a motion picture camera, as If he were on an out ing.
 The question at his trial, therefore, was not whether he was guilty, but whether he was capable of knowing the difference between right and wrong. The defense contended that he was insane: experts witnesses testified for the state that he was abnormal, but realized what he was doing when he killed the girls.
 And on the Hateful night, I can see the boy led to the electric chair, preceded by minister reading pray ers," his lawyer, Charles J. Wallace told the jury yesterday.
 T can picture the warden giving the signal-the push of the switch the gasp of the dying-the smell of burning fiesh."
 Some jurors were impressed, but not Haight.
 Then District Attorney Ebert T. Gallagher showed the jury pictures of the girls bodies, on morgue slabs,
 This is why we are making no apologies for this prosecution" he said. Imagine the pitiful cries of the two little girls from that quaint Westchester village while Haight was doing this to them. If you have any sympathy in this case, extend 1t in behalf of these sisters whose mother now lies in hospital (Mrs. Lynch has tuberculosis) Don't short change two dead children in an hour like this"
 Haight snickered.
