"Yes, mama," Hall replh't As the official witnesses walked through the darkness of the prison courtyard, the Christmas decorations made by convicts, which had spur-"kled on the trees and bushes, flickered out. They were turned on soon after the execution. Elaborate security precautions had been made, with extra guards and highway patrolmen brought In for the execution. But the extra men were not needed. There whs no outburst from the 2,500 convicts. Rev. George L. Evans, Episcopal rector from Kansas City who was Hall's spiritual , adviser in prison, said both were "absolutely and completely reconciled" to death. "They are prepared to meet Almighty God," he said after praying with them in the death chamber. Hall was puffing on a cigarette as they approached the gas chamber. He passed it to Mrs. Heady, who took a final puff. Federal marshal William Tatman stepped into the gas chamber with the two. After the guards had blindfolded them and strapped them to -the chairs, the marshal asked: "Have you anything to tell me?" Witnesses sensed in this question a last effort to find out ir either knew what had happened to more than $300,-000 or the ransom money they collected in Kansas City Oct. 4 and which was missing when they were captured in St. Louis Oct. 6.

Hall died first, gulping in the poison fumes. Mrs. Heady seemed reluct-, ant. She appeared to hold her breath. Although she was unconscious after the first sniff, her lungs labored for two minutes and 10 seconds after Hall's body had slumped motionless. Dr. G. Donald Shull, l prison physician, commented that hei breathing lasted; longer than any person he had ever seen die in the gas chamber. No other woman has ever been executed in Missouri. - , The killers' final conversation (it lasted about 10 minutes) was in a small detention cell just of the gas chamber.

The pair refused a final official request for a statement which might have shed light on. what happened to half the record $600,000 collected from the millionaire father of the child they abducted and murdered Sept. 2. - Instead, they spent their last minutes in a brief conversation and farewell embrace, shared a final cigarette, bid their 'Missouri prison guards goodbye- and died side by side amid swirling clouds of cyanide gas.
