Nebraska Takes
Soldier's Life
In Murder Case
. Lincoln, Neb., March 23 IPi
Sgt. Joseph T. MacAvoy, Brook
' lyn, N. Y., was executed in the
electric chair at the Nebraska
penitentiary today for the rape-
murder of Anna MUroy, lCyear
old Sutton, Neb., high school girl.
MacAvoy was strapped Into the
chair at 5:57 a. m. and was pro
nounced dead four minutes later.
He called goodbye to the prison
chaplain, Fred Lessten, and War
den Neil Olson just before the
executioner threw the switch.
The 25-year-old soldier was con
victed of the slaying 38 months
ago. He was arrested two days
after the girl was found slain
and ho admitted assaulting her.
He denied the slaying, however,
and pleaded innocent by reason
of insanity.
Stationed at Harvard
MacAvoy was stationed at the
Harvard army air asc at the time
of the slaying. He said he picked
up Miss Melroy the night of Aug.
7, 1943, and after a few drinks
they drove out into the country.
He said the girl submitted wil
lingly to his advances but after
a quarrel over the possibility of
disease, she hit him on the nose.
This angered him, he said, and
he knocked her out of the car. He
then hit her on the head with a
crank and threw her body Into
the dltcn.
The soldier testified that he
returned to the scene the next
day and turned the body face up
wards. The state contended, how
ever, that the girl was still alive
when he returned and he drove
a chisel into her brain, killing her.
Defense Is Made
MacAvoy's mother. Mrs. Mary
Mears, testified that her son suf
fered an attack of malarial fever,
or the "sweats," In 1941 while he
was a soldier in Panama. Medical
testimony admitted at the trial
attempted to establish that Mac
Avoy lor snort periods oi time
ofter using alcohol "didn't know
right from wrong."
He was convicted 3!) days after
the girl was slain and was sen
tenced to die Dec. 30, 1943. The
execution was delayed by appeals
to the state supreme court, the
state pardon board, and the U. S.
supreme court.
MacAvoy was the first person
to be executed in Nebraska since
1929 when Harry Sherman, 19,
was electrocuted for a triple murder.
A Truly
Memorable
Funeral
We sincerely believe that fu
neral preparations should not
tax the bereaved financially.

no matter what the cost
our personal attention and
efficiency are the same.

New York Mayor
Explains Stcrd
New York, March 23 IP -Mayor
Fiorello LaGuardia turned todav
to Dioblems of his own city gov
ernment and left the midnight en
tertainment curfew to whatever
enforcement measures federal
agencies may find.
LaUuardia expiaineu nis posi
tion in a nationwide broadcast last
night. He said the request of War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes could be enforced only by
congressional action and told en
tertainers in tne worm s largest
city that it was entirely up to
them whether they would close
at midnight.
LaGuardia divided New York
night spots into two classes.
1. Those having entertainers
and operating under a city license
must close at 1 a.m.. he said, or
face city prosecution.
2. Others, such as bus, operat
ing under a state license, can re
main open until 4 a.m., the legal
closing time.
Explains Stand
LaGuardia explained his stand
with the statement that "the
present mayor of the city of New
York believes in law and order."
"He believes that the American
people should be governed by
law," he said. "He believes In en
forclnc the law. He hates hvnoc-
risy and he had fought disregard
or violation of the law all of his
life. He is not satisfied with lip
service, with proud proclamations
of compliance when there is no
compliance.
He said he was not concerned
with the curfew in other cities,
but advised residents to look
about them and see if it was work
ing. "I want to cooperate," La
Guardia said. "I am simply re
alistic. I refuse to be hypocritical."
