ter was put to death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing prison at s:G o'clock this
morning. for the murder Of l5-year-old
Ruth Wheeler, nearly two years ago.
The girl came to VOTERS flat in New
York In search OF employment and he
killed her after she had been mlstreated.
Wolter left a statement with Warden
Kennedy denying that he had committed
the crime.
Wofter was declared dead after one con-
tact Of 1850 volts. The state electrician
said that wolter showed less resistance
to the electric current than any murderer
put to death by electricity at Sing Sing
prison.
The murdered spent his Las, night quietly
resting only part OF the time. At clock
this morning woiter wrote his denial of
the killing. 1t was on a single sheet and
so even and clear were the letters formed
that the writing had the appearance Of
copper plate. The statement reads:

of. have been victim OF circum-
stanciaI evidence. / hope that there may
come time when the conscience OF the
perpetrator will overpower him and he
will come to the front ard acknowledse
his guilt. II Is my honest prayer to God
that he may bring the person guilty OF
the crime to justice that my name may
be cleared Of this stain and that the
people may see the injustice done nc
and that they killed an innocent boy.
To those who have given me their lird
assistance and have trusted In me,

have malicio0sly prosecuted and killed
me, for them pray's Gods forgiveness.
