The two were William llulsey, whose last words were, "The Lord is with me; 1 am Innocent," and his son, Fred, who asked the prison chaplain to tell his father, "I will see you In heaven." They were convicted of killing three men in a poker game on their farm at Rockhart, two years ago. The suicide attempt occurred at the very hour that Governor Richard B.

Firemen under Acting Marshal William Bossert were driven back by the fumes when they first at-te ipted to enter the dwelling. The door they opened, however, permitted an inrush of air which dissipated the fumes and they were able to rush Into the house and open the windows.
