Condemned to death for murder, Wil
liam Kogut, twenty-six year old Cali
fornia lumberjack, cheated the gallows
by committing suicide in a most unique
fashion. He actually constructed a
bomb from a piece of metal tubing and
an ordinary pack of playing cards.
Kogut, awaiting action on his plea
for a moderation of his sentence, had
threatened to kill himself rather than
die on the gallows. Hence jail guards
were maintaining a close watch over
him to prevent his receiving a gun,
knife or other instruments that he might
use to foil the hangman.
But one morning at daybreak, San
Quentin prison was shaken by a de
tonating explosion of such terriffic force
as to hurl convicts from their cots. The
startled prison guards, rushing to the
scene, found Kogut on the floor, dying,
his body horribly mangled, and the
right side of his' head torn away by
the blast.
The only clews to his method were
the scattered pieces of some playing
cards and a missing strip of metal tub
ing from his cot. Mystified, the prison
authorities consulted explosive experts
who after examining the scene soon dis
covered the diabolic scheme of Kogut’s
criminal brain. In the April issue of
Real Detective Tales, they reveal how
simple it was for him to construct the
bomb and why it was of such deadly
character.
He: “What are you doing with your
socks on wrong side out?”
How: “My feet got hot and I turned
the hose on them.”
The most absent-minded professor is the
one who, alx>ut to start on a journey,
filled his wife with gasoline, kissed his
road map goodbye, and tried to shove his
automoble into his pocket.
Justice: “ How did the accident hap
pen ?”
Maness: “Why I dimmed my lights and
was hugging the curve.”
Justice: “Yeah, that’s how most acci
dents happen.”
“Who invented necking?”
(Ans.) “King Solomon. lie took the
Queen of Sheba into the banquet hall and
gave her wine and nectar.”

ing. it sounds like a dream.”
Grace: “Yes, that's the call to arms.”

“Did you hear of the Jew who swind
