 Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood' the third man, died with a prayer on his lips, and made no explanation. He was pronounced dead a few minutes after Q o'clock.
 Louis Rosenberg, known as Lefty Louie,' the last man placed in the death chair, was given three shocks before he was pronounced dead.

 William E. Cashin, Roman Catholic chaplain of the prison, accompanied 'Dago Frank to the chair. With "Whitey Lewis and "Gyp the Blood" was Rabbi Joseph Goldsten of New York. Rabbi Mayer Hopstein, long the spiritual advisor of the Rosenberg fam ily stood by Lefty Louie."

The preacher no doubt meets
with disapprovals in the state
ments while preaching and of
course the parties so disprovine
then, through respect, does not
express their disapproval. This
no doubt is true, but sometimes
while preaching there is given
to the preacher some expression
OF approval. Such was the case
at one of our services last SuIf-

expect to thank the good brother
for it when we see him again.
