Brothers and College Pal End Bloody Careers in Electric Chair. BOSTON, June 7 (#.—New Eng- land’s most ruthless gang of Kkillers. the Millen-Faber machine-gun trio, paid for four wanton killings early today in the electric chair at State Prison. Murton Millen, 25: his brother, Irv- ing. 21, and their college graduate pal. Abraham Faber, died within a space of 30 minutes, after midnight, for their brief, but bloody career of crime. They were sentenced for the machine gun slaying of Patrolman Forbes Mc- Leod during a $14.500 robbery and hold-up of the Needham Trust Co. on February 2, 1934. While they died, Murton's 20-year=- old bride, Norma, was sleeping in her cell in Dedham Jail, where she has been confined since last September as an accessory. Now a widow. the | pretty daughter of a former minister may be freed immediately. A few hours before he died, Murton made a will, leaving his all to the girl who left her country home and her | country friends to marry him. His estate was said to be valued at be- tween $1,000 and $2.000. Murton and Faber went to their doom without a word. Irving, whose | unexpected retorts during his trial |and during his confinement evoked | considerable comment, stopped before the chair to speak. With a slight gesture of one hand, he addressed the witnesses. “I salute my brother, Murton.” All three were unshaven. Rabbi Moses L. Sedar, who gave spiritual comfort to the three men since they were placed in death cells, preceded each to the chair. As he walked he intoned the 23rd psalm. Faber, in keeping with Jewish cus- tom, sat in the chair with a prison hat on his head. The hat was re- moved as the electrodes were applied and, as he died. it hung on the back of the chair. The others were bare- headed. l Rabbi Sedar said the three men parted with a final handshake. Since | before their trial, the Millens shunned i Faber, believing it was largely through [hlm that they were apprehended. “They all expressed the hope to |each they would meet again the rabbl said, in describing the parting. | Murton, leader of the gang, slouched to the chair.
