Church strapped in a cbuir, dropped through the trap at tlie County Jail and 10 minutes' later w a s dead of strangula tion. The force of the drop broke the chair, but did not dislocate his neck. Thus ended the career of one of the most cold-blooded murderers in the criminal history of Chicago, to save whose life the most frantic ‘ efforts have been made by various attorneys. Alienists have claimed all along that Church w a s simulating insanity and he partially shook oil bis stupor on the way to the gallows during his 1 last moments i n r the death chamber. H e ‘called for bis parents. His'mother fainted and w a s unable to respond, but his father and sister did what they could to comfort him. Recitcd Prayer. On. the way to the gallows he per spired freely and after the noose and cap had been adjusted be began to pray. At first he mumbled, but his voice became stronger and’ he repeated the Lord’s prayer distinctly. Then lie lapsed into silence again, the signal was given and the trap surung. These. were the first words he had spoken' for JO days, when he besan his hunger strike. | Other prisoners in the jail did not: stage their usual hideous clamor. Heretofore this has been one of the [ features of an execution, but this time everything was silent. For one thing, tho hanging of Church means the practical end of the “insanity-’ dodge for murderers. Kluxers Active In California Fresno.

Mayor Martin estimated that even tually the fire had the rehabilitation labors it will necessitate would prove to have occasioned a § 10 , 000,000 loss to the city. In addition to tho destruc tion of the building and Its contents, he based his estimate on the cost of tho building anew, replacing lists of assessments, taxes and other records, and the temporary expense of housing the city government.
