He got no further than "Now, gentlemen, I want—•** when he was interrupted by the prosecutor, who told him he was not allowed to sa.v anything further. Disappointment Keen. The condemned man looked blankly from one witness to another, an ex pression of unspeakable disappoint ment coming over his face. He Evidently had planned a drn matic exists after a bombastic speech, which attendants at the jail had heard hint rehearsing for weeks at night In his cell. The executioners’ helpers advanced toward the killer and started to lay their hands on him, but Haarniann realized, that he had but a moment left for drama. * "I'm Not Afraid." "No, please leave me alone. I am unafraid." he said, and unflinching, he stepped Up to the scaffold, and walked to the block. With lightning awiftneM he was strapped beneath the bright, keen blade. The actual execution lasted exact ly 46 seconds. German newspapers today withheld detailed description nf his death. The Hanover press merely Hated that Haarmann had been exe cuted. ; Throt)ghout the night before his Execution, Haarmann talked alter nately .with hie mother and Hans flranS, his convicted accomplice, who now is| held in jail at Lueneburg awaiting the action of his attorneys an hla plea for a new trial.

HEAVY SELLING DEPRESSES GRAIN Chicago, April 15.—Heavy soiling from houses with, eastern connections brought about a big break here today in the price of the May delivery of wheat. The closing price for that month was $1.51% to $1.52. showing an extreme setback of 0 rents a bush el as compared with yesterday's fin ish. About the only apparent reason for the selling of May wheat was that the Liverpool market had made but a poor response to the upturn in prices yesterday on this side of the Atlantic, in addition export demand was again slow, the total sales esti mated at hardly 200,500 bushels. The market as a whole closed very unsettled 1% to 3 cents net low’er at the day's bottom figures. May, $1.51% to $1.52 and July, $1.42% to $1.43. FLEET LEAVES FRISCO HARBOR ll.v The Associated Prcm.

Mrs Skunk hud tallied of movinc. hut Jimmy Skunk hadn’t paid much heed to what she said. Me was too much concerned with his own imnte diale affairs to he particularly inter ested in Mrs. Jimmy's talk. There is much lo do and much to see in early H.Caoi _^|MD<NilH9 “Hull! muttered .liminy. "Now, I wonder who did this.'’ spring, you know, and Jimmy was wandering about, enjoying life and thinking very little of home affairs. So. Jimmy hadn't paid much heed to Mrs. Jimmy's talk of moving. It had gojie in one ear and out. the other. "It is just talk,” said he to himself. "There Isn't any reason for moving. We couldn't find a better home than we already have. Mrs. Jimmy talks about moving just for the sake of talking. She likes to hear her own voire. There Is a full moon tonight, so I believe I'll go down to the Smil ing Pool. It is a bit early for any of the Frogs excepting Peeper the Ilyin, hut you never ran tell. It Is so long sfrice I have dined on frog that I've almost forgotten what one tastes like.” So Jimmy ambled down to the Smil ing Pool and spent the night there. It was broad daylight when he reached home and he was too tired and sleepy to think anything about the fact, that Mrs. Jimmy wasn't there. ' She probably stayed out ail night, too, he muttered. “I'm glad I got home first. It saves a lot of explain ing.’’ Then he curled up and straight way went to sleep. Wh<yi he awoke about shadow time he was still alone. At first he didn’t notice this, and when he did he wasn't much surprised. "Must be she has gone out early,” thought he. “I'm be ginning to feel a bit hungry myself. Wonder where to go tonight? I haven’t been up around^ Farmer I ATTENTION! Piano and Player Piano own ers.

TatoSK Brown's doorvard lately, so 1 think I'll have n look around there. There are good eats up there onee In ■ while." So Jimniv Skunk rarefully made his toilet anil ambled away through the Black Shadows toward Farmer Brown'd dooryard. He didn't hurry. You know Jimmy seldom does hurry. He sees no use for hurrying. "Peo ple who hurry, rushing this way and rushing that way. piiss a lot," says Jimmy. When he reached the door yard he found a dish of milk Black Pussy had left. Then he found some scraps of meat which Bowser the Hound had left. So when Jimmy finally amhl.ed along past the hen.vard and the henhouse he was feeling par ticularly good natured and in the best of spirits. As he turned the end of the hen house he was surprised to discover some fleshly dug sand there. Of course he had to have a look at it and see what it meant. That sand had come from a hole dug down under the hack of the henhouse. ‘ Huh!" muttered Jimmy. "Now I wonder who did this?" "I did!" said a voice, most unex pectedly, and a black head was thrust out of that hole. It was the head of Mrs. Jimmy. "Oh!" exclaimed Jimmy, when he had recovered from his surprise. "Why', how you surprised me, my dear! I had no idea you were up here." "No!" replied Mrs. Jimmy, tartly. "You hail no Idea where I was, and you didn't care!" Jimmy didn't heed this at all. He was too much interested in this new hole under the henhouse, "Did you dig that hole all yourself?” he asked. Mrs. Jimmy nodded. "What for?" asked Jimmy. "For my new home," replied Mrs. Jimmy. "You know. I've moved. I told you I was going to move, and now I have. I moved last night." "I didn't know It," replied Jimmy, with a queer, puzzled look on his face.
