SIGHT Of CHAIR

MURDERER LOSES NERVE COM
PLETELY WHEN TAKEN TO
PLACE OF DEATH.

AUBURN. N. Y, June 26.-His first
sight OF the big chair. resting on its
highly polished metal flooring, and
with Its gruesome wire attachments,
threw Giuseppe Nacco. murderer, into
Mysteries as he was led into the death
chamber here to-day. With wild
scream OF terror he turned and tried
to force his way back through thu
small door and out or the fearsome
room. Before the half dozen guards
on duty could check him he had
reached the door. Here he was held
firm for a moment and then was push
ed by the stalwart guardsmen toward
the chair.
Pleading vainly fos mercy. Nacco
was forced into the CHAIR and the
straps were hurriedly snapped into
place. When he saw that there was
no hope he began to cry and begged
for chance to kiss the little cruciHx
he held in his hand. State Electrician
Davis hidden by the turn in the room,
was about to give the signal to turn
on the current, when Rev. Father
Robetti, Catholic chaplain OF the pris-
on, who had vainly tried TO console
Nacco. interfered, and during a mo-
ment of tense stiffness raised the em :.
blem to the lips OF the helpless pr,,-
oner
Then he stepped back and raised
his hand. A moment later a current
OF 1870 volts was coursfnE through
Nacco's body. When IL was released
life was still present, ana II required
two additional contacts before the vic.
tim was pronounced dead.
Nacco killed Antonio Candiano.

Falls in 1903. They had auarreled
over the parentage or a child and
she tainted him with the declaration
that. Ii she was sure that he was it's
father she would burn 1t to death.
Nacco abandoned wire and daughS

How Get-Rich.Quick Schemers
Use the Mails.

Christian Herald.
No department of the government
comes into closer or more constant
touch with the people than the Post
Office, and, valuable though its SER
vices are to all, there is no class of
men who use them to such advantage
as the "get-rich-quick" schemers.
The Postmaster General is quoted as
saying that within a few years more
than 500, 100000 has been taken
fraudulently from the people through
the machinery Of the Post Office and
the spread of the rural free delivery
system. This isan enormous amount,
but the authorities declare that it is
far below the actual sum and possibly
represents less than one-half of the
total amount lost-lost through the
rascality of the few and the blind
credulity of the many.
The whole nation would rise in in
dignant protest if our postal authori-
ties attempted to emulate those of
Russia, by reading the private corre-
spondence of our citizens. The schem-
ers know this and take advantage of
it. From county tax lists, business
directories, and other sources they
collect the names of prospective VIC
tins. This done, the rest is easy.
