and other foreigners were invited 20
attend the execution here of Felix
Radius. a young Pole. convicted OF the
murder of a woman and her child at
Shenandoah six months ago.
The hanging took place in the yard
OF the Schuylkill county prison. The
execution was not a public one in the
sense that every one who went 10 the
jail was admitted. but the sheriff was
quite liberal in the distribution of
tickets. and the foreigners. who were
all eager 20 see the hanging. took all
they could get, and long before the
time set for the opening OF the jail
gates, they swarmed about the place.
The idea of having present repre-
sentatiyes OF the various foreign ele-
ments in this section OF the coal region
originated with Sheriff Clay Evans.
who thought the story of the execu-
ton. as told from the lips OF the fore
igners. would have a salutary effect in
curbing the murderous tendency OF
some of the lawless element.
Just before the march 70 the scat
fold Radius made complete confes-
sion OF the Shenandoah murders and
confirmed the information the police
had that he had been guilty OF com
hitting a murder in Russian Poland
Radius said he killed a man in his
old home three years ago and that he
fed TO this country TO avoid arrest.
He appeared 10 be greatly relieved
after admitting his crimes and walked
with firm step between two priests
10 his death.
AS the prisoner stepped into the
yard there was a stir and a buzz of
talk that made him start slightly and
he glanced hurriedly over the big
throng that hemmed him in. He gave
no sign of recognition 10 any. however.
as he walked through walls OF hu-
mainly to the gallows.
Radius scanned the crowd as he
took his stand on the trap. bat his at
tention was soon occupied by the min
istrations OF the clergyman and the
sheriff. as the latter arranged the de-
tails OF the execution.
In the meantime the big crowd In
tenty watched every move OF the pris-
oner and officials, and as the black
cap was pulled over the face OF the
condemned there was a low murmur
which was soon hushed by warning
signals from the guards.
When the gallows drop was sprung
and the prisoner swung in the death
throes there was a perceptible move
ment. but this. too. quickly subsidized.
and as the doctors FASTENED to the
side OF the condemned and pronounced
the man dead absolute silence prevail
, ed.
Tbs execution had certainly awed
those who Witnessed It, no matter
what other effect 1t might have pro-
, duced.
The hanging was In every way what
Is usually termed "a success" As the
big prison gates were thrown open and
the 500 invited" nled out few had

CRIMINAL STATISTICS.

The Richmond, Va. News-Leader,
IN it's issue Of the 22ud inst. pub
fishes the following which VIII ex-
plain itself:
John p. Goss. one OF the clerks in
the office OF Auditor Marye, has a
penchant for figures in making COM
PARSONS OF the criminal and other
expenses Of the State. The question
of cost of criminal expenses as be-
tween whites and blacks was sug-
gested the other day, and Mr.. Goss,
IN order to get an idea of what the
proportion was, took the reports and
accounts submitted within the last
few days. as made to the auditor and
as paid by the State.
The figures below give the num-
Der Of white and cOlored prisoners
In the cities and counties mentioned
and the sums paid for keeping, board
ing and clothing. and does not in
clude the medical treatment or med
lcines furnished:

warwick Co. SO 20S.5O
Lee county 80 10 1925
Lynchburg ...I1 60 267.4O
Campbell Co. . 26 179.4S
The apparent difference in the
cost of keeping the prisoners is due
TO the fact that the counties do not
make reports as often as the cities,
the counties not having monthly
terms of courts. II Will be seen that
out of a total of 800 prisoners. less
three, in the places named, three
fourths are Negroes.
We would have our readers draw
upon their imaginations as to the
relative number of white and color
ed people, who would be in jail, If
all OF the officers of the law were Ne
groes instead of being white men
and also to the fact that the cost or
main tanning these same Negroes goes
into the pockets of the white sheriffs
of the commonwealth. wAo find 1t
profitable business to keep them
in the jails. stu, the showing
is bad enough for US and we
advise our people to live upright,
Christian lives and to remember that
