FARMER IS HANGMAN
AT 55 EXECUTIONS
EPWORTH, 111., Sept. 14. (/P)—For
25 years, George Phil Hanna, Ep
worth farmer, has acted as hangman
at executions in Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas and Indiana.
Considered wealthy, Hanna refuses
pay for his service and always stands
ready to act as executioner or advis
or. He has participated in 55 execu
tions.
He points out that the infrequency
of hangings has resulted in a dearth
of expert .executioners, and that, a
sheriff who has never witnessed an
execution often is called upon to of
ficiate at one.
He probably will have charge of "
.
the execution of Charles Birger,
southern Illinois gang chief; set for
October 15.
