You asked me question a short time

the same. Have you never cared for
any one?'
II cared once for my husband"
You have been married"
Most certainly. 1 lived with my hus-
band for two years"
And now?" he persisted.
1--WE are separated. You really do not
know my other name?"
II have never heard you called anything
but Madame Christopher"
''Well you will hear it in, time" she
assured him. You will probably think
you have made a great discovery. In the
mean time, farewell"
She gave him her hands. He held them
in his perhaps a little longer than was
necessary. She raised her eyes ques-
tioningly. He drew them a little closer,
Very quietly she removed the right one
and touched a bell by her side. -
"If my automobile is of any service
to you, Sir Julien" she said, pray use
it. 1t waits outside and 1 shall not be

Thank you," he replied. Your auto
mobile, empty, has no attractions"
The butler was already in the room.
See that Sir Julien makes use of my
automobile If he cares to-" she ordered.
This has been a very pleasant visit. 1
hope we may soon meet again."
She avoided his eyes. He had an in
stinctive feeling that she was either dis
pleased or disappointed with him. He fol-
lowed the butler out into the hall, filled
with a vague sense of self-dissatisfaction

ASKS TO Be FIRST TO DIE
IN NEW ELECTRIC CHAIR
Convicted of Wife Murder,
Hyde Makes Queer Re-
quest of Judge
(By Associated Press.)

ANDERSON, S. c., June II think I
am entitled to the electric cshair first. I
am the oldest prisoner under death sem
tence," was the reply made to Judge
Prince by Samuel N. Hyde, who muir
dered his wife and her father on July
is, 1911. When asked in the general ses-
sions court this morning If he had any
| thing to say why the death sentence
should not be pronounced on him. Judge
Prince told him he was disposed to &C
cede to his request, but that he did not
know when the electric chair will be in
stalled and ready for business; that the
| contract calls for the chair to be in readi-
ness on June q; but it is possible there
may be some delay. Judge Prince stated
that even if the chair was installed by
June p, he did not think Hyde wished
to be Experimental on; that there may
be bunglesome job on the first execu-
ton. Hyde declared that some one had
to be experimental on, and that he was
willing to be that one.
He then asked the court If he knew
when the first execution is scheduled for,
there being several prisoners in the state
already under sentence to go to the chair.
Judge Prince said he did not know for
certain what day the sentences already
pronounced named. Hyde then suggested
day Of execution, stating that the 18th is
a Friday. Judge Prince said he would
have to name a day giving the chair
manufacturers a reasonable time for de-
lay in putting in the chair. and he
named the 5th of July.
On the night of the double murder Hyde
forced an entrance into the home of his
father-in-law, shot his wife while she
lay in bed and white attempting to
leave Mrs. Hydes father intercepted him,
whereupon Hyde shot him down, the bull
let piercing the heart Hyde also shot
and severely wounded his wifes little
sister who was asleep in bed with Mrs.
Hyde. Hyde said he had been separated
from his wife by her father, who. claimed
mistreatment and unfaithfulness.
When arraigned for trial last fall Hyde
entered a plea of guilty to murder. The
court refused to accept the plea, and ap-
pointed an attorney to defend the prisT
oner. s
The plea of monomania. was made, but
the jury found him guilty and the court
sentenced him to hang October 20. The
sentence was stayed, pending appeal to
the supreme court, and that tribunal re-
fused to interfere.
The board of pardons have seven or
eight petitions, signed by 1,500 people,
asking communication TO life in the peni-
tertiary. The board has announced no
decision. Hyde is 27 years of age, and
has a fine physique.
He has decided his body to three stu
dents in an Atlanta medical college for
research.

large number of counter charges
against her. including allegations that
she continuously nagge6 him" per-
.sistently, tried to ,humillnte him. and on
