Murderess Is
Buried Quietly
Attorneys, Few Curious
Idlers Only Mourners
at Brief Rites
COLUMBUS, O.; Dec.
.nna Marie Hahn was burled
today. Quickly and quietly. .
Only her attorneys, ' the "wife
of Ohio penitentiary's, warden,
and the matrons ; who ' attended
the poison-slayer in , her last
hours were there as mourners;
only one basket ot flowers, an
nonymously sent, graced the con
secrated grave of the woman who
moaned the Lord's Prayer as
she was electrocuted last night.
. Curioos Gather
The penitentiary chaplain,
, Father John Sallivan, performed
the simple ritual Tt a downtown
funeral parlor. Two dosen curi
ous idlers gathered in the Catho
lic cemetery when the funeral
procession of five automobiles
drew up. .., - - .V - .r-'
The dramatic fanfare that
marked her 16 months' fight for
life had died with the 3f-year-old
woman.
In the death' chamber, where
she pleaded vainly for life, her
picture will be hung in . a few
days along with those of 213
men. Warden J. C. Woodward
said that act would end "the
Hahn case."
Charge Voided '
In Cincinnati - the state an
nulled a murder charge in the
poison death ot George Gsell-
man, one of four old men she
was accused of killing for their
money. She was executed for
murdering Jacob Wagner, 78.
One of the matrons, Mrs. Jo
sie O'Bleness. said that 24
hours before the execution Mrs.
Hahn was "a little witch a de
mon with a wild look in her
eyes." Before that, the matron
added, Mrs. Hahn behaved "be
cause she knew it was the best
way of fighting for Anna."
