HANOVER, Germany, April 15.—"I &m guilty, gentlemen, but, though it may be, I want to die as a man.” With these words Fritz Haarmann, Ylanover butcher, convicted of the murder of 26 boys and men, stepped o the guillotine early this morning and a moment later his head was severed.

He listened in silence as the prosecuting attorney repeated the sentence and the agreement of the judges to execution of the verdict. Only as the curtain before the gulllo- tine was withdrawn did the realiza- tion of death seem to dawn on him, and for an instant he appeared to be paralyzed. But as the death bell sounded he pulled himself together and in a few unemotional words acknowledged hi self guilty and ready to have the s tence executed, adding that he felf sorry for his actions. A few moments later the blade was dropped. Helium Used as Starter. Helium, the non-combustible gas used in filling the lighter-than-air has found another use. It has been impossible on the Los Angeles to carry enough compressed air intact for the purpose of “kicking over” the engines in starting.
