Kansas City.--"This is a'h-^l of a thing to wake a man up for." That was true. To be awakened from a sound sleep to hear any one's sentence of death by hanging read would be "a h--1 of a thing." But sharp faced, eagle befeked Adam Richettl *had been asleep In s Jail cell and when the jailers woke him up It was to hear his own sentence read. It had taken a Jackson county (Kansas City) jury Just two hours and U minutes and three ballots for a verdict of death for the murder of one ot Nash's guards, one of the four peace officers who died In what is known as the Kansas City massacre. The Sallow little prisoner who spoke so brazenly had little right to expect anything less than a death sentence. Three machine gunners are known to have participated In the Union station massacre of June 17, 1933--a horrible example of gangster bravado ih which they murdered the man they were trying to rescue. Desperado Frank Nash, ih' addition to shooting down the four" officers, and of the three Rlchettl Is the enly one now alive. *• Polico-Kill Pretty Boy. Machine gunner Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd was shot and killed by federal agents on a farm near East Liverpool, Ohio, October 22, 1934, the day after ^hls fugitive pal, Rlchettl, had been arrested In a nearby town during a gun battle from which Floyd escaped. Machine gunner Verne C. Miller, nobody's "pal," was found near Detroit on November 30, 1933, beaten to death by enemy hoodlums who trussed his naked body in a blanket, and threw it in a ditch. Thus, with Rlchetti's execution, the ledger recording the crime and punishment for the spectacular effort of three men to "snatch" a fourth of their kind from seven captors is balanced. Four policemen were slain. Including Nash, three gangsters have been killed. Rlchettl makes four. And for the three officers they wounded, there are four conspirators serving two-year sentences. Eight were convicted, but the women werie only fined. P The' massacre bccurred when the seven guards brought Nash Into Kansas City from Hot Springs, Ark., where he had been captured the day before. They were returning the Oklahoma desperado, who had pillaged "with A1 Spencer until he was killed by federals 12 years ago, to Leavenworth penitentiary. He had left there in a jailbreak in 1930. "Put them Up, Up, Up." From the train the eight went through the big Union depot to the plaza lil front where two police ears waited beside several other parked automobiles. The police pushed Nash Into a front seat and started to get in. There was a cry, "put them up, up, up" and machine guns opened fire from opposite sides of the cars, Kansas Cjlty Detectives Frank Hermanson and W. J. Grooms fell dead on the sidewalk. Nash crumpled up in his seat, while R. E. Vetterll, a city police agent, was hit In the arm as he crouched beside the door. In the second car Police Chief Otto Reed of Mc- Alester, Okla., who had aided In the capture, and Raymond J. Caffrey, federal agent, were mortally wounded. F. J. Lackey, federal agent from -Oklahoma-City, was critically hurt but recovered. Only Frank Smith, the federal agent who had arrested Nash, was untouched by -the deadly barrage. He had taken a rear seat, apparently where the gangsters thought Nash would be sitting. The .machine guns went silent, the murderers' car pulled out of a parking lot and they jumped Ip as it gathered speed. Vetterll fired a pump gun after It and a young motorcycle patrolman, Mike Fanning, winged one of the killers who fell but got to the car. Boy's Candid Fish Story Falls Upon Wrong Ears Lansing, Mich.--"How's - fishing?" Michigan's fisheries division, of a CCC youth who had thumbed a ride. "Pretty good," was the ready response. "Caught two black bass the other day . . about so long!" "Sure tlie.v were black bass?" Wes term an asked. "But didn't the black bass season close December 31?" The hitch hiker was worried. "Gosh, 1 didn't know that," he said. vVesterman identified hiiiiself and learned tljat the youth was not a-Michigan resident w&s unfamiliar with its fishing laws.

C.--"It's worth a dollar to be n gentleman," said Wit 1 lace Ivey, newspaper man', as he attempted to pay a farmer for killing a hen with his automobile. The farmer said he didn't want money for the chicken.
