PALMER WINS ONE, LOSES ONE IN
 RAILBELT GAMES

In an overtime period last Fri day night, the Palmer Moose scored a 52-49 upset over the Fairbanks Malemutes in the first of a two game series played be- tween the two schools January 23 and 24 in Palmer.
 Taking an early lead, the Pal mer team led at the end of the first period, 10-8. Playing an un- expected basketball game, the Moose kept the Fairbanks boys on their toes throughout the entire game. Tied total of eight times, Larsh of Palmer had the game neatly knotted seconds before ha1f-time with a 20-20 score when Fairbanksian Seppi dropped field goal seconds before half time to make the score 22-20, the Malemutes ahead by two points.
 At the close of the third period the Palmer Moose were again leading with a 34-31 score, follow ing four knotted scores of 22-22, 23-23, 25-25 and 27-27. Seppi of the Fairbanks team went to the bench at the close of the third period on personal fouls. Frank Morrison followed during the fin al period.
 Ted Butcher assisted the Male mutes during the fourth period, running up nine points for his team. With only little more than one minute of play remaining in the final quarter, Butcher hit the . basket and tied the score at 44-44. With but 35 seconds remaining, Monte Larsh who paced his team with a total of Is points, put the Palmer team ahead 46-44 only to have Butcher counter with an other basket, tieing the game 46- 46. During the overtime period Hemmer and Larsh sank charity losses; Hardenbrook and Trem- arello did the same for Fairbanks but cincher of the winning total was Don Ingalls who went into the game during the overtime period and dropped two field goals, making the Palmer team victors in the 52-49 game.
 In addition to Larsh's Is points, Jerry Hemmer tallied 10 points; Morrison led the Malemutes with 14 and Seppi totaled 12 points.
 Fairbanks Tops Palmer
 During Third Quarter Rally
 Playing the same type of bas- ketball Saturday night, the Pal mer Moose kept the lively game a nip and tuck furry for the first three quarters. During the fourtS quarter the Malemutes found their balance and scored 15 points against eight for the Moose, winning the game 43-36.
 A basket by Brown of Palmer during the fourth quarter gave the Moose their final lead in the cher paced the visiting five, when Seaborn and Butcher connected with nine points collectively dur ing the final period.
 Larsh was again top scorer with 16 points. Morrison, high for the visiting team scored Is points.

simple prison clothing. nothing
like the luxurious clothes they
used to wear.
Mrs. Heady was clad in : bright
green cotton dress. the standard
prison garh. Her dark brown wavy
hair was carefully eombed and
she had on . little makeup. She
wore scuff-type sandals but no
stockings.
Hall wore olive green twin pants
and shirt, a black stripe down the
side Of the trousers. He had on I'M
laced shoes but no belt. His shirt
was open at the throat.
Tightly Strapped
Both were squeezed tight by the
straps around their chests and
Mrs. Heady complained about
that. AS they were led into the
gas tank. she said: Il can't see
a thing"
Mrs. Heady asked Hall, who was
seated on her right, II be had
plenty of room, but he made no
audible answer.
Mrs. Heady. the first woman 10
die in the gas chamber since it
was installed in 1888, had one 9th
er woman near her almost to the
end. She was Mrs. Tatman, wife
Of the US. marshal. Mrs. Tatman
stayed until her charge was
strapped in the death chair. Then
she went outside and did not see
the actual execution.
Inside and outside the pris-
on, officials carried out the tight
est security plans to prevent any
trouble. Some convicts had sex-
pressed hatred for Hall because
they thought he had hurt their
chances for parole.
He was paroled from the same
prison last April "a after serving
Is months of a five-year term for
in Kansas City. 1t was
while in the penitentiary for rob-
berry that he Matched the idea of
easy riches through a kidnapping.
Other convicts Comment
Other convicts had reflected the
attitude of citizens all over ma
ton, the same attitude expressed
after the trial by little Bobby's
father:
''It's too good for them, but It's
the best the law provides.
When two hearses took the bod.
les out of the prison about an hour
after the execution, the streets
were almost empty in the near
zero cold. Victor Buescher. a Jeff.
erson City undertaken, claimed the
bodies and prepared them for
burial.
From here, Mrs. Heady's body
was to be taken to 'Clearmont,
Mo-, her girlhood home, for burial
morning.
Halls attorney insisted to the
end that he did not know where
Hall would be buried. His mother
and father are buried in a family
plot at Pleasonton, Kan.
AT their home in Kansas City,
the Greenhouses went to bed at
their customary hour and did not
stay up until the execution time.

breathing lasted longer than any
person be had ever seen die in the
gas chamber. No other woman has
ever been executed IN this state.
The killers final conversation
it lasted about ten minutes
in a small detention cell just of
the gas chamber. With them was
US. Marshal William B. Tatman.
The pair were not visible 70 the
official witnesses as they sat side
by side on q cot in this cell.
Final Kiss
As he stepped out to Chamber
into the death chamber, Halls lips
were Redeemed as If with lipstick.
Tatman. after the execution, con-
firmed the two had given each
other a final embrace and kiss.
You wouldn't want to deprive
them of that" the marshal said.
Hall was putting on a cigarette
as they approached the gas cham.
Der. He passed it 10 Mrs. Heady
who took final puff.
Tatman stepped into the. gas
chamber with the two. After guards
had blindfolded them and strapped
them to the chairs, the marshal
asked: Have you anything to tell

Witnesses sensed in this question
a last effort TO find out If ether
knew what had happened to more
than $S0O, 900 Of the ransom money
they collected in Kansas City on
oct. 4 and which was missing when
they were arrested in St. Louis on
Oct. 6.
Nothing To Say
Both shook their heads in the
negative and Mrs. Heady said
aloud: No"
AS the death chair strap was
being frightened about her chest,
Mrs. Heady. with a little chuckle,
told the guards:
ITS tight-Tm not going any

Then she called out to Hall:
Are you doing all righl, honey?"
Eyes, mama" Hall replied.
The prison was quiet as the no.
torious pair went to their deaths.
Seven degree cold kept the crowd
at a minimum.
AS the official witnesses walked
through the darkness Of the prison
courtyard, Christmas decorations
made by convicts sparkled on the
trees and bushes.
Extra Security
Elaborate security precautions
had been made, with extra guards
and highway patrolmen brought In
for the execution. But the extra
men were not needed. There was
no outburst from the $500 con-
victs.
AS the parade of witnesses fol.
lowed the death cars down to the
gas chamber, one convict shouted
from his cell: Pour it on 'em."

No Sign o. Fear
Neither Of the kidnaperS showed
any outward signs OF fear although
Hall breathed deeply while being

chamber door changed shut on
them at l2:04 am. Thirty seconds
later Warden Edison tripped the
lever which dropped cyanide pow.

beneath the death chairs.
White fumes rose around the
coupL Hall took a big gulp as the
fumes hit his face but Mrs. Heady
appeared to hold her breath for
an instant.
Their heads jerked back. There
were a few convulsive movements.
Both were unconscious almost al
once.

court trial when a jury in Kansas
City recommended the death sen.

Halls attorney, Marshall X.
Hoag Of Pleasonton, Kan, an old
friend Of the family, was one of
them.
But the only representative of
little Bobby Greenhouses family
present. was Norbert S. 0'Neill,
Kansas City business associate of
the ehIld'S multimillionaire father.
0'Neill was one of the men who
negotiated with the kidnapers and
dropped a record $500, 900 ransom
near a bridge east of Kansas City
Oct. 4.
Witnesses Deaths
I came down here" 0'Neill
said after the execution, to keep
faith with a VOW | made several
weeks ago. / don't like to see peo-
pie die, but these people deserved
to die. ] came down here to see
the. sentence carried out because
i thought it was just sentence. I"
The couples last audible words
before the door was sealed were:
Thanks for everything and
Goodbye" to the guards who had
watched over them in the last few
days.
But they kept on talking to each
other for the few seconds it took
to seal the chambe,.
Did they talk about the little boy
they planned to kill even before
they abducted him? Their. few
months of illicit love together? Or
were they just two human souls
trying to brace each other for
death?
Witnesses peering through the
thick glass windows of the gas
tank couldn't tell.
Little Regret
All the witnesses knew was what
prison and law enforcement off.
Gals have reported in recent
days: that Hall did not regret the
crime so much as he did his own
stupidity in getting SO drunk he
was caught.
He was arrested in st. Louis
Oct. 6 after police were tipped that
a man With a lot of money was
on a drunken spending spree. He
led officers to Mrs. Heady's hide
out a fe whours later. And that,
according to guards who have been
close to her, was her biggest dis
appointment. They had planned a
life of luxury with the $500, 900 they
got in their vicious plot. But today
$40 worth of chemicals killed
them.
