TOLD THEY MUST DIE
Warrants for Execution Read
to Tony MiIano and Ma
thanieI Green.

Tony Milano. conviced Of killing Harry
Elton Smith. eleven years old, September
Q. 1911. and Nathaniel Green. colored, as
sailant of Mrs Adelaide z. Grant Christ
mas night, were this morning officially
notified that they soon are to expiate
their crimes on the gallows
Warden Zinkhan received the dea.h
warrants for the condemned men this
morning, and about 10 o'clock he went
10 their cells and read the writs to them
Milano, occupant of a cell In so-called
..murdererS row." was first visited and
the warrant read TO him, Friday next
being the time fixed for his execution.
On the opposite side of the prison was
Green.
Green listened to the words OF the
warden without showing signs of nerv-
BUSINESS; the Italian shoemaker was I'M
able to conceal his feelings.
Neither prisoner has given trouble to
jail ofhciais, nor is it thought they will
create a scene when they are called
upon to take the march across the big
rotunda of the prison to the gallows.
Tony Milano's confession, recently
asking for communication of sentence,
seems to have lifted a heavy burden
from him. His nervousness did not
desert him. however, and day after day
he has anXlously awaited message
from the White House relieving him of
the death penalty.
MIlano knew nothing of the issuance
Of the death warrant yesterday until
Warden Zinkhan visited him this morn
ing.
For many years ii was the custom of
Jail officials TO read death warrants to
condemned men the day they were to
be executed. 1t was thought that the
reading of the warrants that day was
means OF causing unnecessary mental
suffering.
Rev. Michael Gallagher has visited
Milano at frequent intervals since the
Court Of Appeals decided adversely on
his motion for new trial. He was
with the condemned man Sunday, and
again yesterday. and will accompany
him to the scaffold when he is executed
Rev. John Roberts, cOlored missionary
worker. is looking after the spiritual
welfare Of Green.
