more murderers than any other
man, were disputed by William
E. Lamb, guard at the Oregon
penitentiary, who said Wednes

execntlonsvof more than 700 per
sons.

that Ellis' career as a hangman
had covered a period of 22 years.

this capacity for more than SO
years. He first enlisted in this
occupation when 11; years ef
axe. Lamb officiated In imposing

la favor of the death . pentlty,
Lambdeclared.
Lamb said that during the time

NAZIS DECIDE THEY
WILL OBSERVE LAW
BERLIN, Sept. 21 (AP)
National socialists in the Prus

a struggle with the national gov

resolution to the. effect that so
long as the present government

cials must do likewise.
Prussia is still governed by a
federal commission appointed
when Chancellor Von Papen,
with the authority of President
Von Hlndenburg, named a com
missioner to replace the disunited
Prussian cabinet.
On August SO the communists
In the Prussian diet, supported
