CONVICTED OF OHE MURDER OF
PENITENTIARY GUARD. - {
MARYLAND I’ICNITI'INTIAR\'.!
RALTIMORE, August 13—(P)—
Richar Recse Whittemore, head of o
now shattered “million dollar erime
trust,” was hanged this morning for
the murder eighteen months ago of
Robert H| Hloman, a Maryland pen
itentiary guard.
The trap was 'sm'unp: at 12:08 a.
m., fourteen minutesg later, at 12:22,
Whittemore officially was pro
nounced dead—the end of an amaz
ing ceriminal career packed, for the
most part, into the months following
the fatal beating of the 60-year-old
guard with an iron bar when Whitte
more escaped from the penitentiary
on KFebruary 20, 1925.
“I wish to say good bye. The
best that I could wish anybody,”
Whittemore said simply just before
his body shot through the trap,
The 26 year old slayer vnter'c‘(l
the death chamber at 12:06 just
two minutes before the trap door
opened and he dropped into cternity.
He was smiling: faintly as he came
through the small door leading from
the death cell tier to the gallows
platform, 18 feet above the witness
es.
Chaiplain Charles Shannon Biggs
talked with the condemned man in
the corridor, before he entered the
death chamber.
“Will you have something to say?
asked the chaplain,
“Only goodby-—that's the best 1
could wis hanybody,” Whiitemore
answered.,
“ will say it or you can say it,”
he told the chaplain.
“I would rather you would say it”
Chaplain Biges answered.
“All right,” Whittemore answered
briefly, and stepped through the
door,
Os his arms were pinioned behind
him he turned white, but came into
the death chamber steadily, and
stepped unaided to the trap. His legs
were strapped and he made his brief
statement in a slightly strained bhut
clear voice. The hood was drawn
over his head just a moment before
the trap was opened,
Less than twenty minutes after
Whiitemore walked into the execu
tion room his body had been lower
ed into its ecasket and taken out.
Funeral service: were to be held
from the home of his father, Raw
lings V. Whittemore.
No memhbers of Whittemore’s
family was among the witnesses who
packed the small chamber, although
the senior Whittemore had asked I'u!‘;
permission to attend. His request
was denied by Warden Patrick .L‘
