gas chamber Built more than a year ago after Warden Roy Best had traveled to Nevada to get data on that state’s method of execution the squat white death house has never been two-seate- d used save in

Sentenced to be the first to die in the chamber Walter Reppin itinerant New Jersey gunman last January cried out: “I don’t want to be an experiment” and the cry was heard by the state supreme court which anatched him back when but a few days remained for him to live Still under death sentence pending apaction on his hurried peal Reppin ia certain thathe will not be the first to test the gas which Warden Best claims means instant death Reppin killed a college student taxi driver in a robbery William Cody Kelley and Lloyd Frady companions in a brutal slaying of which each accused the other

of harrowing stories of days when the driver carried a rifle across his knees Outstanding- among the Colorado desperadoes of' the period just before young Lonsdale put on chaps and a was the Jim
