Johnson, PINES AND DORSEY CASE.

Gov. Mann has notified Mr.. Lewis
II. Machen, counsel for Calvin John
son. one of the three colored men SEN
fenced to be electrocuted next Friday
| for participation in the murder Of Wal
ter F. Schultz, that he will not an
nounce before Wednesday what his &C
ton will be in the cases of Johnson,
Richard Pines and Eugene Dorsey.
Mr.. Machen had conversation this
morning over the long-distance tele-
phone with DR.. Darlington, who is the
surgeon Of the penitentiary and super
intends the electrocution of condemned
men in that institution. Mr.. Machen
asked him whether Henry Smith, the
negro who was electrocuted last Friday
for participation in the murder OF
Schultz a Chicago artist, knew that he
was going to die or whether there was
any truth in the surmises that Smith
thought he was being put through
some kind of third degree. DIR. Car
rington stated that Smith was perfectly
aware that he was going to die and told
every one goodby. In transit from the
death chamber to the chair he made
the statement that he was innocent OF
the crime for which he was about to
die and that Johnson, Pines and Dorsey
were innocent. After making this
statement, Smith never made nor at
tempted to make any other remark and
was dead within space of two minutes.
DR.. Darlington stated very emphatl-
cally that he would not be party to
any third degree foolishness in a case
of that kind, nor would he permit such
thing at the penitentiary, if he knew
it. He stated that he did not know OF
the test to which Smith was. subjected
on the previous occasion until after
ward.
Smiths wife stated this morning that
she received letter from him written
at 10 O'Clock the night before his exc
cution in which he said he knew he
was going to die the next morning. In
this letter he reiterated that he, Pines
Johnson and Dorsey were innocent.
She furthermore said that Smith told
her the same thing in March, 1909,
but told her he was obliged to tell Il
different story to save himself.
In letter received last week from
Smith by one of the lawyers i'll the
case Smith said At first | tried to
save myself, but afterward was will
ing to give my life to save the other
men because they we're innocent. !"
