Plan of the Warden

THE warden said that he wished I
could make the man talk from the
death chair as that would take his
thoughts off himself, and his passing
could occur without 4 period of dis
tressing suspense. The warden explain
ed to me how he would give the sig
nal for the application of the current
when his breath was exhaled. He
also requested me, so far as possible,
before the execution to keep Richeson
from talking about ii, and to keep his
mind engaged with other things.
chaplain Stebbins and | agreed
that We should induce Richeson to
leave some kind of a religious testi-
mony for the witnesses to the eXecu-
ton and the plan appealed to him. He
had wished that he might do some
good before he died. He had failed in
his ministry and he thought that his
testimony at his execution might lead
to a religious life any witnesses who
might not be Christian men. Warden
Bridges said that he would give the
signal to the electrician while Richie
son was making his reply.
I'VE thought that probably he would
be strapped in the chair so quickly
that only two or three questions would
be necessary. Although the work OF
placing the man in the chair was done
speedily yet # took longer than had
estimated. and, consequently, I had to
ask more questions These questions
We're eXtempOraneaus
His Last Word
FINALLY came the question, Are
YOU willing to live or to die for Jesus
sake?' and his answer. I am willing to
live or to die were the last words
that he spoke as the signal was given
and his life passed out
why did put that particular ques-
ton? It came naturally out of my con
versation. In a conversation with him
As hours before his death / sought in
vain to bring him to the point where
he would rather die than spend life
time repenting his sin. Two hours and
a half before his execution he saw our
point and Richeson went to his death
as a brave Christian gentleman"
Richeson left no will, but in CONVEX

that the famous Maharanis College in
Mysore was founded in the very first year
of the rule of Chamara jindra Wodayar
Bahadur the late Maharaja of Mysore. In
this college later provision was made
for the training of widows and grown-up
women as teachers. There Is no doubt,
however that some provinces. such as the
Punjab, have outstrlpped Mysore in this
direction. Also in the matter OF marriage
legislation Mysore was the first to move
and set an example to other states. The
present Maharaja. who Is no less Jealous
and no less interested In the cause OF fe-
male education and social reform than his
ilustrious father, has in view the further
advancement Of the age limit for the mar
riage OF girls. Apart from all this, II Is
the opinion Of many Of the leading re-
formers Of India that legislation can do
very little to accomplish the end in view.
The thing required is 10 create public opin-
ion and rouse interest in the cause. That
will be a more potent agency to do good
than mere legislation.
In many places Miss Tenant noted that
the wearing OF costly Jewels by children
seemed I'm Itself enough to ruin race. to
say nothing OF extravagant dowries. The
III treatment OF child widows could not
escape her notice nor the fact that early
marriage had deprived millions OF girls
and boys OF the chance OF completing their
education. She saw hundreds of innocent
girls who, by early betrothals and un-
equal matches, were dragging out miser-
able existence as the widows OF husbands
they perhaps never saw. Deprived OF
schooling. unless the parents were able
