"Judged by all reports of the crime, no - more deliberate! land "coldr blooded murder was ever committed in Oregon 'than that which claimed the life of one of the best officials known In the West." '1 I ; ; -' ; Since Oswald C. Hansel of Clatsop county entered the death chamber at the State-prison here and paid the supreme penalty-for the murder-of Frank J. -Taylor of: Astoria pn November' 1.

The old death chamber has since been remodeled Into a modern kitchen and Its mission 'changed from that of a life taking' institution to . that of a life-sustaining -institution. . . At the present time there is no room at the penitehUary here available for a death chamber and any execution staged here in the near future would neces sarily require the erection of a tem- fporary scaffold.
