Massachusetts. an ex-governor of

and by curious coincidence his death
was also due to gas asphyXlatlor'
There was vast difference, however.
in the life Stories of the two men. Inc
SOutherner was Franklin ]. Moses, and
for years he had been a social outcast
and a physical wreck. serving several
terms in prison for theft, forgery and
other offences and becoming a helpless
victim of the drug habit. His early
career was one of great brilliancy and
promise He was the son of chief
justice of South Carolina, graduated
from a Southern college with high
honors, became a confederate officer
and served through the war with dis
tinction, and then at the age Of 80 was
elected governor of South Carolina.
Then his career turned the other way
and his downfall was rapid. Drugs
brought about his ruin, and this scion
of Southern aristocracy. fleeing to the
North, became a common thief and
frequently a tramp. His life story is
record of amazing contrasts, and
death has mcrcifully ended 1t.
