For two minutes a light glowed red behind the awkward chair. The body stiffened. "It is death," said Doctor Dan 1 Bowers of Coluftibus. It was 12:15 I a., m. i The death warrant, signed when Miss Jessie Levy. Indianapolis, dejfense attorney, lost her last appeal | in Ohio supreme court, set Oct. 17 'for Pierpon's death. Warden P. E. Thomas had started the execution (after the tick of midnight, breaking la usual precedent of sunset executions here. Threatening letters for Warden i Thomas and Governor George (White had caused posting of extra I guards. Anxiety still ruled officials who counted the toll of the Dilli Inger gang in a dozen lives of officers and recalled sensational jail (breaks of the gangsters—their escape from Michigan City, Ind., penitentiary; Dillinger's break from Crown Point, Ind., jail; delivery of Dillinger from the Lima. 0., jail, the crime which cost a sheriff's life and led to Pierpont's execution sentence; the attempted break here. Father Sullivan told the United Press that Pierpont embraced the church in his last hours. The doomed man nibbled at a ' chicken dinner earlier, then pushed the dishes aside. >' J. D.
