London Hangman
Commits Suicide
t
London, Sapt. 21.?The world's
most widely known hangman was
dead here today by his own hand, a
victim of years of brooding over having
sent more murderers to death
thnn any other living man.
He is John Kills, who during 22
years as public hangman executed
m<pe than 200 criminals. His nerves
began to fail him in 1924, when he
resigned. He was found dead, his
throat slashed and ?- razor by his
side.
January 9, 1923, he put to death
the notorious Mrs. Edith Thomson,
who with young Frederick Bywaters
was condemned to death for the murder
of the woman's husband. She had
to be dragged to the scaffold and this,
with his previous worries over his
job, was too much for Ellis.
He retired the following year but
could not shake off the horrors that
haunted him. On August 20, 1924 he
spent a sleepless night and was found
next day, gravely wounded with ft
revolver by his side. He recovered,
however, and promised a magistrate
he would not commit' suicide. But
the horror continued.
Among those who died in a noose
no supervised was Roger Casement,
who was put to death in 1916 after
le was convicted of having sought
Glerman aid for an armed revolt in
Ireland.
For a brief period in 1927 Ellis
went on the stage as a hangman, but
t proved too much for him.
The treasury department of North
Carolina has notified officials of
Mecklenburg county that it will not
lonor the pay vouchers of school
eachers until the county makes a
satisfactory settlement with the states
;reasurer for taxes past due.
Farmers of counties surrounding
Covington, Ga., are pressing a missionary
campaign to get milk produces
of that section to keep milk off
he Atlanta market until they can get
irices that will cover the cost of proluction.

A Nashville. Tenn., slioe factory has |
laced an order with an Ohio leather
ompany for 1,000,000 feet of calf- j

Barney Baruch says the cost of
government must come down by a
million, dollars. But wouldn't that necessitate
cutting down the public payoil
and forcing a lot of people to go

Birmingham, Ala., has cut its budget
