than he. He came out OF the death
cell, where he has been for over a
week, with no sign of trepidation.
With firm steps ringing on the stone
floor, he walked the few feet to the
chair of death. He did not need as
sistance from the two guards who
walked on either side, grasping his
arms.
AS he reached the death chair, he
paused and folded his arms. Turning
to the witnesses, he smiled.

Asked if he had any last request,
he said simply:

He seated himself with perfect con-

guards as they arranged the cleo
trodes.
AS the guards completed their
work, Warden Benjamin f. Bridges,
standing in front of the condemned
man, lifted the gold headed black
cane. which has given the signal for
all the electrocutions at the prison.
