“READY TO GO”
‘ ‘ HARD-BOILED ’ ’ SLAYER’S ORGY CHICAGO, Oct, 26Dalla Eagan, who called himself the hardest boiled slayer who ever committed murder in California, was hanged after achieving national notoriety by having a glorious drunk on the day before his forced demise.

Hie warden reported that Eagan’s only interest in life was a final liquor splurge, so Governor Rolph gave dispensation for two bottles of the finest Bourbon. The prisoner drained them to the last drop, but recovered completely, and walked with a firm step to the gallows. “I’m all set and ready to go, ’ said Eagan, who killed a Los Angeles citizen during a jewel store hold-up.
