Grim Test

Month ago the Hungarian Government declared war on gun-toting criminals, made even "armed attempts on property" punishable by Death.

One Alexander Ondi, 21 (who was born in the hamlet of Chicago, Tex. and lived there for his first eleven years), tested the Hungarian law last week. Wearing a mask made for him by "the sweetheart of a friend of mine," Alexander Ondi held up a Budapest bank, got away with $10,000, fired shots into the air, hit nobody.

That was on Friday morning. Detectives worked fast. At 3:30 p. m. Monday, Alexander Ondi was put on trial. At 6:25 the same afternoon he was hanged. "I don't know," he confessed on the scaffold, "whether I am American or Hungarian."
