MURDERER CALM AS SHERIFF TRIPS TRAP OF GALLOWS Man Who Killed Woman Asks / Forgiveness Before Execution on Scaffold, By United Press CHICAGO, June 15.—Casper Pastoni, 44, first of eight men awaiting execution here, was hanged in the county jail today for the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Witchell, who refused his affections, and her 11-year-old daughter. J. J. Buckley and Edward J- Hamilton, his attorneys, announced shortly before the execution Pastoni had been unable to borrow S4O with ■which to pay expenses of a trip to Springfield to seek a reprieve from Governor Small. Pastoni was hanged at 7:11 a. m. and was pronounced dead fourteen ! minutes later. Blind in one eye and almost deaf from a self-inflicted | wound at the time of the double raur- : der, he walked calmly to the scaffold “I forgive all those who have prosecuted me and I hope God will forgive i me,” Pastoni said as the nooge was adjusted. Pastoni spent a peaceful night and had a good sleep. He was led to the scaffold by Sheriff Peter Hoffman and a priest. He became resigned to his fate after frantic last-minute efforts to raise the money to send relatives or an attorney to Springfield toffdead for a reprieve.
