Stage (a) ack VAUDEVILLE This letter Is from a newspaperman of standing in Florida: "It's no long ago It doesn't matter but is rather interesting I was present with other newspapermen at the execution of the waspy little Zangara It Is quite true he walked to tha chair with tha ease of a man ordering a cup of coffee and his great disappointment was no photographers or newsreel men had been provided This blow to his ego seemed to Him greater than death "As you know a very estimable lady Is reputed by the pres to nave struck the arm of Zan-gara thus destroying the aim whirh probably might have struck President Roosevelt Zangara was an assassin sod maybe a liar hut what he said on tne eve of hi great adventure was Interesting and ungallantly un pedestals a heroine "The day before his execution Commissioner Nathan Mayo who heads the prison commission in Florida tafked with him and 'he stated no person had struck his arm Barely five feet in height he said he was unable to get a shot at the president ail the people around were taller A woman was standing on a chair he said and he jumped upon this chair as Roosevelt sat down and started firing "The woman sharing the small chair
