POISON MURDERER, DIES ON SCAFFOLD Frau Marie Kardos First to Die of 40 Women Convicted in Group Trials —_— { Szolnck, Hungary, Jan. 13—(@}—|{ Crying “God help me, Frau Marie hanged by court seritence in Hun- gary for many generations. Frau who was one of 40 women who appeared in the group poisoning trials of last spring and summer and one of three to receive the death sentence, lost the jaded ennui which marked the early de- meanor in the few days preceding her death. As execution became immin- ent she was stricken with terror. Weighed By Hangman She ate heartily in ‘her cell Mon- goulash being for her last dinner. There followed a period of - prayer with friends and a Protestant clergyman, interrupted once when the came to weigh her so as to calculate the measure of her fall from the; scaffold. She sprang back screaming but was reassured when her friends ae her the executioner was a doc- rr. ‘Tuesday morning she ‘arose and dressed unassisted and sipped ‘a cup of coffee before being ‘led weeping into the prison courtyard where: 70 persons were asscmbled to witness her death. she prayed again for a mo- ment and then was led to the gal- lows where the president of the court read the sentence of death to® her. g, he addressed the execu- ‘Hangman do your duty.” The executioner's two assistants seized her gently, bound her arms and legs, and tightened the noose about her néck. As the: stool on der her she cried: and then sighing, repeated the single word,, “God—.” An attending physician pronounced her unconscious within a few seconds and dead in eight minutes. Her body was left on the gallows for half an hour and then cut.down and placed in a coffin in the prison morgue. Hungarian Method Followed ‘The hanging followed the peculiar Hungarian method. The two assist- ants drew her feet toward them as; the stool was knocked from beneath her. The hangman, holding her face with a handkerchief, turned it from side to side until she was pronounced dead when he lifted his hat and in-.; formed the president of the court that the sentence had been carried ‘out. One of the condemned woman’s last callers was the man known here- abouts as her sweetheart, Stefan To- dor, who arrived in a sleigh Tuesday | liam morning and was admitted to the prison to see her,, She received him coldly. . Todor obtained permission to wit- ness the’execution and shouted fran- tically, threatening. everybody around him when the woman was pinioned | at the gallows and had to be re- moved.

Service Worker ‘Outlines’ Modern Methods of Finding Homes ‘Benefits which the child, the fos-| and ter parents, the community re- ceive as the result of the proper plac- ing of homeless: children out- lined to members of the Kiwai at their luncheon Tuesday by Miss Paula Iverson, assistant su- perintendent of the House of Mercy. at Fargo. ° Commenting on the scope of social service ‘work, Miss, Iverson said the principal tasks are prevention and cure of evils which lead to trouble for the individual and for society. New and changing conditions make the job difficult, she said, and em- ized that young people today are | trying to do the best they can to, ford the stream of life while older folks stand on the bank, wring their hands and criticize the bathing suits of the participants. Her ‘experierice, she said, shows that sympathy and understanding are needed-in place of criticism. Of all social problems, she said, that of child placement is the most permanent since it. always exists. Be- cause even the best institutions must preserve a certain ‘routine ‘and can- not give mother-love and individual care to each child, it is best: to place homeless children with foster parents who will love, care for-and educate them, she said. Only in this way can the child’s possibilities be realized. This work, which now is supervised by the state, is important to the well- being of the child and to the com- munity, Missi Iverson said, since, if it is properly done, the community is less liable ‘to experience trouble with the child later in life. iz Before a child is placed in a foster home, she said, he is examined both mentally and physically and is stu- died to determine his possibilities. The proposed home also is studied/ and an effort is made to place him with persons who will bring out the best that is in him. Bright children, with good heredity and background, do best in families with similar ten- dencies, she said, whereas less-gifted children should be placed in a dif- ferent environment. In all cases an effort is made to insure that both the child and the foster parents will be Satisfied with the arrangement. When the child has been placed the authorities having charge of the work retain contact with the case during a trial period. Then, if it ap- pears that the arrangement is satis- factory, the foster parents are per- mitted to adopt the chiki. The demand for children to be adopted, Miss Iverson said, alwayi is greater than the supply. ‘Worth Lumry reported for the club budget committee and Dr. J. O.

Editor of Tribune: To the senators and representatives ‘and the people of North Dakota: The state capitol building is a thing of the past, but Bismarck is still the capital of North Dakota, as well it should be.
