M'ILVANE ELECTROCUTED.
THE MURDERER OF GROCER LUCIA
EXPIATEs HIS CRIME.
The Demeanor Of the Prisoner Completely
Changed From His Former Defiance
His Execution Pronounced Success
by the Experts.

SING SING, \. Y, Feb. Sat 1926
this morning the black flag shot up
the staff at Sing Sing, announcing to
those outside that Charles McIlvaine,
aged q, had been shocked to death, OF
electrocuted in the prison, for the muir
der of groceryman Luca in Brooklyn
two years ago. McIlvaine was known
as "the toughest man in Sing Sing, y
being sullen, ugly and defiant. AT
times he was openly rebellious. One
day he broke his btdstead and used
one of the iron legs in assaulting a
keeper.
1t took three men to subdue him.
AS punishment McIlvaine was
placed in "a dark cell several days.
When Wood, who was executed last
July, passed McIlvaine's cell on his
way to the death chair, Mcllvaine
cried out to him: Goodbye, damn
you, you'll be in hell before l am"
| There has been change in Nell
vaine's demeanor since the last hope
has vanished, and this morning he
was subdued and gentle. He spent
most of the night reading the Bible
and talking with Father Creden, his
spiritual adviser. At midnight the
warden read the death warrant to the
condemned man. The doomed man
listened in an indifferent manner and
made no remark whatever. AT its
close he was not visibly affected. y
short time afterwards he retired to
awaken at 6 o'clock this morning.
Rev. Father j. b. Creden was then
at his side. After prayer Mclvaine
partook of light breakfast, consist
ing of dry toast and q bowl of milk.
He appeared to be in good spirits and
there was no sign Of weakening. The
doomed man entered the death cham
Der at L o'clock with the priest, car
rying before him crucifiX and MUIR
muIing prayers. Nine prominent
medical men and reporters from the
leading press association and news
papers were in the chamber awaiting
the arrival of the victim of electrocu-
ton. 1t was decided by Dr.. Landy
and DR.. Ward of Albany to make a
slight change in the plan of applying
the electric current tOthe body not that
the former plan was not success, but
by placing the hands Of the victim in
cells or jars containing salt water and
making contact through the hands
and head, the action of the heart
would be stopped much quicker.
The first contact was made in the
manner above described at lib. The
duration of the contact was 45 seconds.
A few seconds after the current was
cut off by order of DR.. Mcdonald,
froth issued from his mouth, and al
most simultaneously there was a
quick, gurgling exhalation, and as
quick a recovery, like the person was
strangling or of water going down the
wrong way. The current was at once
reapplied to the head and the calf of
the right leg and continued for IS
seconds, after which the subject was
pronounced dead. AS compared with
the Kemmler killing that of Mcilvaine
was much less distressing.

"Do you know what my husband

ladies. Gle declares that | have be.
come II second Mrs. Jellyby, and
couldn't receive more letters or have
more correspondence or be more alb
sorbed or mixer if l were establishing
missions in Borrioboola-gha and ar
ranging for the cultivation of the
coffee berry and the natives"
That's just the way every man
talks when his wife works for the
Worlds fair,n exclaimed another of
these faithful workers, with convic-
tion. "But | can tell them all one
thing. II the men will come to the
front, as they should do, the women
will be only too glad to step aside.
The men could have had all the
money that was necessary raised
within the first week, whereas, they
have done nothing, or very little at
least, and then they laugh at our
efforts Think of the injustice! OF
course they will all come in at the
last moment, raise the money with
n whoop and a flourish of trumpets,
and get all the glory But | don't
care for that, so that we get the
money! added the patriotic little
lady, whose pride in her state never
wavered.

"Oh, our teas are becoming popu-
lar" exclaimed one of the delighted
ladies at the last Worlds fair tea, as
tho rooms filled and the pretty young
girl who acted as doorkeeper was
kept busy answering the bell. "We
were almost discouraged for II long
time, the attendance was so
small but you can see that the inter-
est is growing. And it is Worlds
Fair interest, remember. That's what
they were intended for, you know to
keep up the social interest in our
work. There is no doubt that we
women have plenty of zeal, and an
immense amount of patriotism. Don't
you wish we had money in proper
tion?"

"If there were nothing else to
influence me in working for the
Worlds Fair" said one OF the
chief workers in the movement, yes
terday: 81 Wouldn't let it go on ac-
count of my pride in Austin. | am
so sure that Austin is going to be a
magnificent city, and l want all the
world to hear of it and see it. Think
of that lake alone! Why that lake is
going to attract thousands of visitors
to this place every year. And the
idea of the Worlds Fair, and the
great multitude of people there, and
nothing to show them that Texas is
anything more than a great, barren
section of country, whose chic
use is to hold the rest of the country
together! No indeed, it shall not bt
so! Texas shall be at the fair, decked
in her finest, and everybody that goes
to the fair shall hear about Austin
too!n
And with this declaration the en-
thusastic Texan renewed her worl
for Texas.

Strange PenRnce of a Gambler In
Priestly Garb.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 21.-One Of the
greatest mysteries of this city has been that
of the tongueless man, which has just been
solved. Last November priestly-looking
man hired room at the lodging house at
the corner Of Fifth and Broadway. He was
quiet, well-behaved and a great church
member One morning he was found In
his room, blood issuing from his mouth and
bloody razor in his hand.
On examination 1t was found that he had
cut out his tongue with the razor. Bloody
tracks TO the door, out in the hall and the
bath room indicated that be had been there.
Search showed that ne had thrown his
tongde down drain pipe. Nothing could
be learned from him aboub his identity. He
had plenty of money and paid his bills
After his wound healed he disappeared. he
was thought to have been a Catholic priest.
1t now turns out that his name is George
Wilson. He goes garbed as priest, but he
is professional gambler. His family is
wealthy and live in New York. His father
has just died and left an estate of S150,0
$50, 600 Of which was left to him. The estate
cannot be settled up until George has been
found, and detectives from New York are
now in this city looking for him. They
state that George has been the black sheep
OF the family, and that his conduct has
caused them untold trouble This state
ment suggested that the mans strange act
of cutting out his tongue was prompted by
remorse aud humiliation for his past deeds.
When last seen in this city he was still
wearing his prieStly garb, and was believed
to be- staying at st. Vincent's school,

eide was the finding of the coroner's jury

died from arsenlcal poisoning. The testi-
mony Of witnesses brought out the fact
that the young woman was despondent the
Sunday morning preceding ner death owing
to the desertlon Of her lover, Rudolph Ber-
ling, after he had promised to marry her.
At the post mortem examination held by

to traces Of arsenic.
In speaking Of the case after the inquest
had been held in O'Toomes & Cummings
undertaking establishment at No. 4125
State street DIR. Hektoen said that in hold
ing nearly 1900 post inortem examinations
he had never found as complete case Of
transposition as be had in the Muuson ex-
animation. EVERY part was clearly
transposed," continued the surgeon, "and
had been so from birth. The heart was
upon the right side and the other members
of the viscera were completely transposed.
1t is a rare and most unusual case and one
that is well worth receiving careful atten-
tion from surgeons. The woman suffered
no inconvience therefrom. however, and
from talks l have had with her acquain-
tances and friends / have learned that she
has paid but little attention to the transpo-
sition of her vital organs.n

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-To-day.
Thomas L. Doran and three companions
ell experienced in desert travel. started
from here TO hunt for the lost Peg Leg
mine, which has been one Of the mysteries
of the Colorado desert for thirty years.
Dorau will pack train of burros at Sam
diego with provisions for six months and
be will thoroughly explore the desert
country where at least a dozen of his
predecessors in this search have lost their
bones. The lost mine was discovered in 1880,
by an old trapper known as Peg Leg Smith,
who found gold nuggets on three little hills,
but did not know these were gold till be
reached Los Angeles.
When gold was discovered by Marshall,
Peg Leg Smith determined to hunt for this
desert mine, but was driven off by Indians.
About 1855 a miner was brought into San
Bernardlno almost dead from thirst in the
desert He recovered and showed rich
specimens which he found in three hills, not
far from Warmers ranch, and which, from
the description, were identified as the Peg
Leg mine He had $1,000 in nuggets and
dust. and gave the doctor who cured him
$1,000. He arranged to lead party to the
mine, but suddenly sickened and died and
his secret perished With him. Within the
last ten years no less than five parties have
started to search for the Peg Leg mine. In

SPEED ON THE ELECTRIC LINES.
Statement OF the Tine Which the Belt
Line Makes.

Line Makes.
Editor Morning NelCS: We take excep-
tions 10 the latter portion of an article in
Sundays News about reckless and careless
running on the electric lines. so far as it
relates TO the Savannah street railr oad.
We are allowed by city ordinance speed Of
miles per hour north Of Liberty street and
10 miles per hour south Of Liberty street.
TIE Belt division Of our road is 5000
feet of track north of Liberty street.
This gives US, by law, 10 minutes
running time, and 20. 400 feet south of
Liberty street. This gives US % minutes
running time. Total the round trip 80
minutes. Our schedule is As minutes, giving
US minutes for stops. On the Barnard
street division we have north of Liberty
street 5000 feet with Z minutes running
time and south of Liberty street 6, 800 feet
with rs minutes running time; total l45l
minutes. The schedule is IS minutes, giving
3A minutes for stops. which is ample. The
horse cars on Whitaker and Abercorn street
lines take 80 minutes to make Is, 900 feet
They are allowed miles per hour
on the whole route. This would give
them SS minutes running time and
taking OIL the minutes lay over at the
office and the same at Bay aud Drayton,
leave their running time to 2S
minutes, allowing no time for stops, and
still there is no "kicking" about their fast
running.
We find the great trouble with those who
are won't to ''kick" to be with themselves
in not looking out for the electric cars when
they come to streets used by electric cars,
and some go so far as to say the cars should
stop before crossing the streets. Some peo-
pie seem TO think all of the caution and care
should be with the motormen and none with
themselves.
just the same with the ringing of the
gongs. We have had the people to say they
would put the road on the docket as a nuis-
ance for ringing the gong so much, while
others say the reverse. Some Of our Bar
nard street patrons have gone back to the
Whitaker street cars, because, they say, the
horse cars go faster. and in Fri
day evenings Press you will find the
words, "Savannah's electric cars do not 20
fast enough" So you will find kickers for
going fast and kckers for not going fast.
Our carefulness is attested by the very few
accidents caused by electric cars of this
road, and any employe who is guilty Of
carelessness is dismissed from our service.
