For rimes in ing Sing —_ (By Associated Prensa.) body of Gordon Fawcett Hamby, notorious murderer and bandit, who was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison last night, for the murder of two officials of the Brooklyn Savings bank in’ December, 1918, wil yi buried today. No one claimed the body and the mystery surrounding his par- entage, which he studiously remained unsolved, Gordon Fawcett Hamby who today expiated his death chair, was arrested in Tacoma, Wash., last June under the name of “Jay B.. Allan,” after killing a man thers in a révolver fight.. He was later identified as one of the two robbers who, on December 23, 1918, held up the East Brooklyn Savings bank and, after kill- ing two of its employes, escaped in an > Jautomobfie with $13,000. Extradited' to New York and tried for this crime Hamby stood revealéd ns @ self-confessed participant in the guarded, the bandit, rimes in the robbery of 13 banks and two trains and” many killings. He steadily refused to tell anything about his family. He said he preferred to be known as “Allan” and that-he was born in 1893 in Alber- ta, Canada. He declared his parents were dead and that he had two broth- ers whom he had not seen for five years. He said he was a college graduate and had specialized in psychology. After Hamby’'s conviction here, his at- torney, against the prisoner's wishes, appealed his case. He obtained the ap- pointment of a commission to determine the bandit’s sanity but the higher court affirmed the verdict and he was also found to be “normal.” He freely a¢l- mitted his crimes and said he was want- ed in Chicago, San Francisco and other places. After the Brooklyn robbery; Hamby said he met a girl in New Yortc and that they went successively to Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, ; Chicago, California and Tacoma. “L was surprised the California po- lice did not get me,” he said, shortly, after being brot East. ‘Then in Ta- coma I got in that politica! row wittr ‘Bob’ Davis and Killed him. ‘Bob’ was a game fellow and I’m sorry I shot him but I was afraid he was going to get me. After that I was all ready.to beat. it to Shanghai, China, and now here £ “I expected to get $50,000 out of the Brooklyn ‘job,’ he confided, “and I was greately disappointed at the little we aid get. This vgas because my partner did not carry out my instructions. [ had ordered him to jump over the rail the minute we entered the place but he was an‘ amateur and wasted too much time. It! took him about four minutes to pick up what money we dit get when it should not have taken more than, a minute.” “Who was your partner in the Brook- lyn robbery?" he was asked. _ "I don't cara'to say. I, don't want to ‘implicate him. He is mirried and T think by this time has left the country. I met him first in Norfolk, V: short time before the Brooklyn ‘job’.."" Hamby said he had never had any woman acconiplices in any of his rob- beries “because they talk too much.” The day he was brought to Sing Sin: the prisoner was asked what ‘‘inter- est” he had in life. He lighted a ci- garette and watched the match burn sjitselt down and go out before he re- plied: “The only interest I have is to sec that I spend the time from now until T go to the electric chair in smoking reading and ing myself comfor ble.
