McKinney several years aga and com
mitted several other oHmes for which
he had‘ not been tried. The others

Most murderers are executed for
single murders; Howard Little has
seven to his account. There were
six in the wholesale butchery for
which he, was sentenced to die in tne
Olectric chair here—a man, two wo
men and three children of the latter
couple, all killed together in Buch

Little was ho ordinary “low-browed”

he lived, an^ a number of friends still
believe in his innocence. His char
acter seems to have been strikingly
on the Dr. Xekyl-Mr. Hyde order, to
one side being attributed the atrpcioiis
crime which brought him to the shad

being such a nature as to hold the
friends who stood by him until the
