the slender slayer left death cell No. 1. Not a word fell from his Ups as he calmly walked the 10 swift paces to the death imposed hy a federal Jury under an Indictment charging violation of the Undbeigh kidnap law. At 12:08 a. m. (CRT) the first of four electric charges coursed through his body. Three and a half minutes later, guards loosened the straps and at 12:14 u. m., three physiclnns officially pronounced him dead. Seadlund, who would have been 28 on July 27, was the 37th victim of the (look county jail electric chair since it was installed Feb. 20, 1929. He was the first federal prisoner to die in the chair. The former lumberjack, who started on his crime career in partnership with a former Dillinger gangster, spent his last hours 1 reading the Bible and smoking. Three hours before the execution, he was transferred from a base-

1 ment cell to the death house where i he ate with apparent relish a fried ) chicken dinner. I Earlier iu the day, he hud written farewell letters to his mother, ’ Mrs. Delia Seadlund of Ironton, Minn., and his sister and brother-in-law, Lillian and J. D. Hunt, Jr., ’ of Crosby, Minn. In them, he told of a happier life he expected as1 ter death and of a reunion with i his father, who died five years ago. ’ | Shortly before the execution ‘, hour, the Rev. Ernst Kumfhold, 1 Catholic Jail chaplain, gave the 1 condemned man holy communion. 1 Seadlund's request’ for a conference with Severin E. Koop, family ■ undertaker from Crosby. Minn, was granted. He told Koop he was sorry for what he had done ’ and asked forgiveness. He asked Koop to tell his mother to be brave and not think harshly of him, then ’ requested the undertaker to at- • tend the execution. ■ Fifteen minutes before Seadlund started his death walk, three ■ guards entered his cell to shave the curley hair from his head. Customarily, two guards hold the prisoner while the third shaves the head. When two guards grabbed his arms, Seadlund asserted: "No. You don’t have to hold me." His last act before he started the walk to the chair was to take two puffs from a cigaret. Twenty-five persons, including three spiritual advisers and the I undertaker, witnessed the execu- | tlon. Afater Seadlund was pro- | Bounced dead. Father Kamfhold read the Littany of the dead over the body. Two hours after the execution, Koop backed his hearse up to the i jail gates and started the body on ■ its trip to the undertaker's MinneWAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILEWWwul Ciloßsl—And You'll Jump Out »f Mis the Morning Rann' to Co The liver should pour out two poundr of liquid bile into your bowels daily.

sola mortuary parlors. There it, will be embalmed and then taken to the Ironton home of Seadlund's mother, where Catholic services will be held Sunday. Seadlund will be buried in the family plot beside the graves of his father, grand-' father, and a sister who died in i infancy. Seadlund’s crime career started [ five years ago when he met Tommy Carroll, Dillinger gang mem ber who was killed during an at- ! tempted bank robbery at Waterloo, la., June 7, 1934. At the time of Seadlund's arrest I last January at Los Angeles, J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, revealed that the young lumberjack ran errands for Carroll and committed his first crime under Carroll's direction. Seadlund roamed the country and in June, 1936, went to Spokane,' Wash. A year later, on his returnl from Washington, he met a hitch-' hiker near Superior, Wis, The I hiker was James Atwood Gray, i Seadlund's accomplice in the Ross kidnaping. It was for this kidnaping that Seadlund was sought as the nation’s public enemy No. 1. Seadlund shared this title with the kidnaper of 10-year-old Charles Mattson. Seadlund and Gray kidnaped, Ross last Sept. 25 while the aged Chicagoan was returning from a dinner engagement at Sycamore, 111., with his former secretary. While Gray guarded Ross in a Wisconsin hideout, Seadlund re-| turned to Chicago to arrange for j a $50,000 ransom which was paid I on Oct. 8 by Mrs. Ross. After col-' lecting the money, Seadlund returned to the hideout. There he ; shot and killed Ross and Gray. G-men finally traced him to Los j Angeles. They seized him as he was using one of the ransom notes to place a bet at the Santa Anita race track. Seadlund confessed and led federal agents to a crude dugout at Spooner. Wis.. where he had hidden the bodies of Ross aiTH Gray. He was brought to Chicago to await trial. To avoid the tedium of long drawn out trial. Seadltmd pleaded guilty to a kidnaping charge. In compliance with the law, a federal jury was selected to fix the penalty. I.EG 11.
