HANGED FOR TWO MURDERS Church Carried to Gallows Strappec in a Chair. Chicago, March 4.?In the sam< state of coma in which he lay a hun ger striker of forty-six days, Harvej W. Church, who killed two automo bile salesmen to obtain possession o! an automobile, was hanged yesterdaj after beinir carried to the gallows ii a chair in which he was seated whei the trap was sprung. Almost until the moment the traj was sprung, attorneys were tryinf to procure a stay of execution. Nin< minutes before the double murderei was hanged, Judge Scanlan denied i stay, four minutes before Judge Jos eph David took similar action. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed in the Superior Court less than ten minutes before Church was hanged. Before it could be heard Church was dead. The last minute ef forts to save Church's life were made on humanitarian grounds and on the contention that Church was not ir court during a sanity hearing. Earlier in the day Church was vis ited in the death cell by his parents and sister and spoke their names, his first words since he started the hun ger strike. He made no statement Photographs of the hanging were made for the first time in Cook Coun ty's history. Church last summer killed Ber narA Daogherty and Carl Ausmus automobile salesmen. He lured then one at a time to the t^aaement of hif home and beat them to death with a club, according to his confession Daugherty's body he threw into a river while that of Ausmus he burled in his garage. Even before the bodies were disposed of Church took hit mother and a neighbor for a ride in jgM^dddcitfBC?n3I^5iaB5iaiaSB5(5^ FREE! FREE! !
