Turner had Andrews Stagger-

Jim McManus saw it 96 to 94
and Judge John Bray scored il
95 to 80.

Gramnler Pays

'PerfecfCriin1e'
Wife Slayer Goes
StolidIy to GoIIows
At Baltimore Prison
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June IL
George Edward Grammer. once
a New York businessman.
dropped to his death from Mary
lands gallows at 1906 am.
today for the murder that was
almost the perfect crime"
The State accused Grammer
Of beating to death his 33-year-
old wife on an August night in
1852 so he could be free to marry
a pretty United Nations secre-
tary.
Grammer admitted he killed
his wife. But he denied he had
planned the crime.
The body of the mother of
three little girls was found in
an automobile, smashed by a
wild, careening drive down a hill.
Police found a pebble lodged
beneath the accelerator to force
It into a downward position.
Their discovery led to a trail of
damning evidence and the 81
year-old New Workers. ultimate
conviction.
Had Big Expense Account.
Grammer lived in the Bronx
and earned $500 per month as
Office manager of the Climax
Molybdenum Co. before he was
jailed.
It was testified at his trial that
he had an almost unlimited"
expense account. State prosecu-
tors put into evidence love let
tiers Granmer had written to
Mathilda Mizibrocky of Hamil-
ton, Ontario. a vivacious bru-
nette employed by United Ma
tons.
He loved her and wanted to
marry her., State prosecutors
argued. They produced testi-
mony that the two spent at least
one week together In a Chicago
hotel on Granmer's fancy ex-
pense account. She testified she
never knew he was married.
Goes StolidIy TO Death.
The burly 6-footer went to his
death without a trace of emo
ton. He had a glass Of milk and
q bun for breakfast yesterday
and passed up the traditional
last meal.
The Rev. Benjamin Blubaugh,
a Methodist minister. was with
Grammer from 8 am. until
shortly after midnight, when he
accompanied the condemned
man to the gallows.
In the execution chamber d
bleak room wdthAa high ceiling,
Grammer was stole to the end.
He raised his face and closed
his eyes as the hood was dropped
over his face.
Two other deathhouse inmates,
Sylvester Madison and David
Floyd, prayed aloud with two
Catholic chaplainS as Grammer
stood on the death trap.
Pronounced Dead in Is Minutes.
He made the drop of 6 feet
6 inches at the end of the States
rope with their litany audible
in the background.
There were signs of life from
Grammer for a full 4 minutes.
He was pronounced dead Is min
utes after the final plunge.
His body was placed in a white
stretcher and delivered to rela-
tives. A slipper from his left
foot, dislodged in the fall, re-
NAMED behind on the brilliantly
lighted floor.
Warden Vernon L. Pepersakc
said Grammer left behind IA
letters for members of his fam
lily. prison officials and chap
lainS.
Reserved and Unconditional
throughout his trial, Grammer
declined to make any last re-
quest or statement.
About Is witnesses saw him
die. Another 200 or so were out
side the prison gates just a few
blocks from the downtown Sec
ton of Baltimore.

Juveniles Plagued
Library in Bethesda
Throughout Winter

The Bethesda Public Library
had been plagued by a group Of
unruly juveniles long before a
homemade bomb was tossed into
the main reading room last Sat-
urday night, library officials said

Miss Elizabeth Gilley, librar-

problem in discipline with some
Of their teen-agers all winter.
Generally. the staff considered
the trouble only as nuisance

+" Court Officer Is Called.
But two or three months ago
things got out Of hand and Miss
Gilley was forced to call in a
juvenile court officer for assist
ance.
Mostly the youths simply
caused q lot Of noise and dis
turbed the reading room with
their loud talking, Miss Gilley
said. She said there was a group
OF IL to is that came there every
night.
Miss Gilley emphasized the IL
brary wants children to come
there when they have work to do.
Miss Gilley said the Juvenile
Court officers investigation and
ultimate talks with the parents
OF, students involved brought a
halt to the gangs congregating
regularly there for a while.
But about a week ago a gang
Of about Is gathered outside the
library. By this time its doors
were open because of warm
weather.
One of the boys opened a back
gate that leads from the parking
lot to a small patio and the liz
brary. Another youth rode pell-
nell through the library and out
the front door on his bicycle.
THE next night I was sus-
pecting something and told the
boys when they arrived that if
they were not going to study to
go away" Miss Gilley said.
"One boy sat in front on his
bicycle. When he went to the
back, I went to the back of the
library. Then. for just a second
l went to assist a patron, and
he rode through on his bicycle.
