AT AN QUENTIN PRISON
IRIDAYATIO:2S A M.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calif.— (AP) —Wil
liam Edward Hickman was hanged here i'riday for
the murder of 12 year old Marian Parker, Los Ange
les schoolgirl whom he kidnapped last December.
The trap was sprung at 10:10 a. m.
The youth, who boastfully ecall
ed himself “The Fox"” walked to
the trap white faced, but with
little outward appearance of emo
tion consistent to the last breath
with the attilude displayed since
he was arrested in Oregon.
Up a flight of thirteen steps he
walked, preceded by the Rev. Wil
liam Fleming, Roman Catholic
vriest, undér whose spiritual gui
dance he turned from fatalism to
Christianity in the shadow of the
noose.
His arms were strapped to his
sides, On either side and behind
bim magched a guard. In a semi
tircle were some 200 persons wio
“nw himodiel ™™ T i
The priest chanted the Litany
of the Dead from the Roman
{Cs helic ritual !as the death
wrarch progressed and - Hickman
made the response. The doomed
man’s lip hardly moved, but he
followed without a noticeable
break.
He walked to his death steady
and straight, but his knees shook
a: he stood on the trap an instant
before it was sprungs
Twenty-two seconds after he en
tered the gallows room, the {rap
vas released.
Hickman’s father, Thomas H.k
man, gave Warden James B. Holo
