Bandits Who Shoot To Kill Arrant Cowards In Death Hard Boiled Desperadoes (Condemned to Death for Using Gun With Fatal Effect on Hold-up Victims Go Whimpering and Trembling to Doom By Ii. C. OWEN (C?vyHflit. 1924, By Th. Ad vane*) San Rafael. Calif., April 24?Ap-' ril is proving a hard month on that I variety of thugs and bandits who] make it a habit to shoot down offi cers of the law in commission, of. crime. With the double hanging at San Quentln prison here Monday, Wil-| 11am Hringhurst and Willard Thomp son. who murdered two Los Angeles i policemen, the tally of desperate | gunmen who have expiated such ? crimes in various parts of the coun try since the first of the month was ; brought up to six. Before the month is over two more will be added to the list from this state, bringing California's total con tribution to four out of eight, an uu-j precedented instance of stern law enforcement which is proving an ex-' cellent deterrent to further slaying* of peace officers. California started the program of hanging police-killing bandits early this month when it sent William Campbell, who slew an Imperial Val ley peace officer, to doom on a San ' Quentln gibbet. Illinois checked off next two exe cutions of similar nature, when on last good Friday, Lucius Dalton and Henry WllBon, negroes, were hanged in Chicago for the murder of Patrol-, man Vincent Sklba. On the same day "Diamond Joe"; Sullivan, a notorious killer, was of ficially put to death at Little Rock,1 Arkansas, for the slaying of Police man L. C. Hayes. Hringhurst and Thompson, who were hanged her** Monday, also were to have been Good Friday victims of the hang man's noose, but because of protests from clergymen of many denomina tions ngalnst the desecration of that day by legalized killings, they were given a three-day reprieve. The two policeman killers who are yet to meet their doom before the ?end of April, are Isaac Wolfgang, who also shot a Los Angeles peae< officer, and who will be hanged next Friday, and Frank Yeager, who killed,a San Joaquin Valley deputy sheriff, and who Is scheduled to hang the following week. The outstanding element In all four of the executions already car ried out here this month wan the complete loss of nerve by the sup posedly "hard boiled" desperadoes when they faced the certainty of death. In every Instance It has been only through encouraging words of spiritual advisers that they have managed to stand without suppoit( while the fntal trap was sprung. An 1 In every Instance guards had virtual ly to carry the so-called desperado* from the death cell to the waiting noose. That the police, have developed vlndlctiveness in av? nalng th?< death of brother officer# u lin , fall before bandits' guns was attested by the presence Monday at the hanuinn of Hringhurst and Thompson, of nln" I<os Angeles policemen. The two m? n hanged shot down Putrolmin Wll Ham Hrett and Harry Clester, two of the most popular im tubers of the Los Angel** department, mop- than a year hico. In order to ^ee .fhe law exact its vengeanc- the nine Los An gel.policemen paid thf Ir own ex penses to the scene of the hanuinV Hut on the fac/s of all nine appeared fleeting expressions of co'mpasslon or m?TCy as the police killers were hur tled Into oblivion. An even more complete loss of nerve than yet has hern evidenced by any of the four already hanged is expected to develop Friday when Is aac Wolfuang, also a Los Angeles police -k 11 l??r. noes to his death. Woif Kanj! already Ih in complete physical and mental collapso and in not ex pected to be able to walk or stand on tlie day of execution. In order to carry out the death sentence, the prison authorities have prepared a long hoard to which the slayer will he strapped In his cell to be carried I to the scaffold and to which he will I be trussed as the trap Is sprung.
