Helen prayed with an earnest hear,
that her father might be delivered
from the awful electric chair. finaliy
she went to the Governor, weeping
I'D pleading for her fathers life, but
1t seemed to no avail.
1t was now the first OF the month
and her father was sentenced to death
on the fifteenth.
The days passed. and there seemed
no way for Mr.. waysear to escape
his horrible sentence. 1t was the 18th.
and In three days Helen and Louise
would be orphans.
Mr.. Marnon. Mr.. Palmer and Mr..
Wearna thought 1T their duty to help
the distressed WIFE, as they had been
Mr.. Waysear's best friends in Branch
land. Bright and early these three
men set out for the Governors office.

would prove their friends innocence

tried to say they were innocent, but
their condolences smote them.

On reaching their destination these
new arrivals were face to face with
an innocent condemned man.
1t was $50 O'Clock: in one-nalf an
hour Mr.. Waysear would be dead.
Realizing that an innocent man should
not die such death. these two brutes
confessed to the murder. Two months
from that day they had to come to
this place again; this time they were 1
to be electrocuted.
When Mrs. Waysear heard the con-

she screamed and cried. thanking ono

crowded streets Mr.. and Mrs. Waysear
and their two daughters, Helen and

Carl Walker is fine twirler,
And he twirls with his left hand,
And many star batter who
Has faced him has Just famed.
And when he steps into the box
The batters are in despair,
For when he does the pitching
The hits are few and rare.
Carl Walker pitched for Virginia,
Where his pitching was fine,
And then he began pitching
For Manager Win Clark's. nine.
Carl Walker did a great thing 81
In game against Colgate. IL
That has been done very seldom
Since there has been home plate.
He didn't allow single hit
And Virginia d..nt make an error.
And he didn't walk single man,
So to Colgate he was a terror.
Carl Walker won his hrst game
In professional baseball,
And at was the Richmond Colts
That before him did fall.
Once Walker only allowed three hits
While he Mayed for Win Clark.
And In almost all his games
The batter has been an easy mark.
And, oh. may he get experience

AND IN lo11 season gain$a place Nh
