Two Executions.

Moundsville, w. Va, April 29-
Two executions are scheduled to
occur in the Moundsville peniten-
tiary this week unless the board of
pardons interferes which is not
probable. On Thursday, May 1st
Perry Christian, white, will pay
the penalty for the crime of mur-
dering an aged man by the of Dent.
The crime was committed in the
most cold blooded manner possible
and upon no provocation whatever
so it is not likely that the board of
pardons will grant any respite
to Christian. He was indicted in
Fayette county some time ago but
through the efforts of an attorney
the case has been dragging along
through the circuit court, etc., and
at the present time is in the hands
of the pardon board.
On May End the day following
the execution of Christian, Louis
Young will have his turn or the
scaffold. He was indicted in Nc
Oowell county for the killing of a
peaceful citizen by the name of
Arthur Krell which was done in a
moment of jealously.
