SAYS HIS ACcOMPLICE
 WAS EQUALLY GUILTY
SALVATORE RANDAZzTE FxE-
 CUTED AT AUBURN FOR
 MURDER.


 Special from United Press)
 Auburn, N. Y, March 16.-Admitting his guilt and with his last breath a prayer for mercy, Salvatore Randazzio was electrocuted in the death house at Auburn prison at six o'clock this morning. Just before he started for the fatal chair he gave Father Robetti, in attendance on him, four letters with the request that he mail them to his father mother and two sisters who es- capped the earthquake and now reside in Borgetto, Sicily.
 RandaZzio murdered his cousin Pie tro Randazzio in Cattaragus county in January 1908 Three shocks were re- quired before the physician pronounc- ed him dead
 Randazzio was so weak that he had to be half carried to the chair by two guards. He insisted to the warden, when the latter was reading the death warrant, that his alleged accomplice Silva Baretta, was equally guilty and declared his acquittal was wrong. He insisted to the warden that Baretta paid $2OO to an Interpreter to garble the testimony so that the jury could not convict him.
 Warden Benham sent his last state ment to Sheriff Ames of Cattaragus county for investigation.

The Burning, Blasting Winds That
Sweep This Arid Waste.

The Burning, Blasting Winds That
Sweep This Arid Waste.
The prevailing winds in Death val
ley are from the west. Though origi-
mating In the Pacific ocean and sat
urated with humidity In travelling the
intermediate distance. they are inter-
cepted by the lofty peaks Of four
ranges of mountains, which absorb all
Of their moisture, so that by the time
they reach the valley all humidity has
disappeared The blasts are as II
heated in a fiery furnace, and no nv-
ing thing can survive the intense heat.
Even birds Indigenous to the region
die.
It is in the months Of greatest heat
that the sandstorms of Death valley
are most deadly. They rage with in
tense fury, obliterating the landscape
and dimming the light Of the sun,
whitening the scanty vegetation and
covering the trails deep In powdered
dust. At all times the aspect Of the
valley Is superlatively desolate. No
spot on earth surpasses 1t in aridity or
Tophet-like heat.
During the heated term an hour
without water means death. Meat be-
comes putrid in an hour. Eggs are
cooked in the blistering sand. Water
Is only pa1atable by means Of large,
porous, earthenware Jars, common to
all hot countries. suspended In drafts
and reduced in temperature by means
Of the rapid evaporation Of the mois-
ture from the outside.

Couldn't seem to endure my society.
Are YOU on? And l hardly think

She's lust told me mighty plainly that

The young gentleman astride the
stick pondered deeply, and to aid his

After several futile efforts he man

"See here" the young man began IT.
ritably as he took step forward, but
at that moment they both heard quick
steps down the lane.
Around the bend came the lady un-

at the sight of them. Her face was
flushed, and her eyes were suspicious

"I've got himv' shouted the knight
1oyously. "He's in my power! He

The young woman drew herself up.
Her face was scarlet now.

the youth sulkily, prodding the i'm

In Fashion
Cavalier.
BY Barry Preston.
Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated
Literary Press

The knight of the golden helmet
rode briskly down the lane. His
sword made pleasant clanking in the
rusty scabbard which it was never in
tended to fit; his eyes; spanked; his
plumes waved bravely III the breeze.
Anon from sheer eXubcrance of Sptr-
Its the knight of the golden helmet
let out wild and joyous whoop which
startled the grazing cattle and set the
mild eyed sheep budding together in
trembling wonder.
The general getup of the gentleman
of the aureate headpiece was a tride
startling. Upon his head was bas-
ket, the handle beneath his chin and
it's bottom Cor, rather, top in its pres
ent position) decorated with the tail
feathers of an incautiOus rooster.
About his waist was red sash stuck
full Of wooden dirks. From the left
side of this sash half dangled, half
dragged. the naval sword in the old
cavalry scabbard.
A rake handle answered the purpose
Of a lance and bore as its pennon a
huttering three cOrnered piece or req
flannel. Upon the knights fat. club
by legs were fastened pieces Of zinc,
evidently intended for greaves. The
steed he bestrode was a crooked piece
Of apple limb, with bit Of Irvine
about one end Of 1t for reins.
1t is quite needless to state perhaps
that the knight of the gold helmet
had recently been filling his small
| head with certain romantic literature
| relating to the days of chivalry.
1t is probably quite as needless to
cite that, now the literature had been
absorbed. he thirsted for deeds Of
valor.
Hence the ride down the lane, and
hence the whoops. But very unfortu-
