Men Executed.

Tom Tarpy laughed as he settled
himself in the death chair at Sing Sing
yesterday, and looked into the faces Of
those who had gathered to see him
killed. There was no merriment in the
sound. there was no hysteria. A big
man physically who had done big things
in his time, Tarpy went to his end as
a big man should. Nerve like his had
not been seen in the memory of the
oldest keeper.
Once, instead of the white shirt
which clothed his thick chest yester-
day. Tarpy had worn the red coat of an
English regiment. Perhaps his heart
had beaten more proudly when above
il hung the service medals he had won,
with Kitchener in the Soudan, with
Roberts in South Africa, with the forces
that relieved the legations at Peklng.
1t is doubtful if it had ever beaten
more calmly.
The Englishman, tall and Clearly
built, had waited his turn. while Louis

themselves with the strap across his

laughed. The mans nerve was appall-

called TO Father Cashin, with smile
still on his face, as one might regret
having lost poker hand. And having
passed this judgment on his luck, Tom
Tarpy died. Five times the current
leaped through his mighty body before
life was entirely driven out.
"My God!" whispered one of the
guards as they carried him away.
"What a mani"
1t took only 81 minutes to hurl five
men out of the world. The thing was
done with businesslike dispatch. None
of the criminals except Roach was
famous, and he was well known only in
the upper state, where he had killed
a wealthy farmer.
He was the third man to pass tho

No Artistic Temperament.
The missing pianist is in his forty
sixth year. and is strong, robust and
active. He is fond Of outdoor life
and bathed daily in the surf at Avon.
Unlike many prominent musicians, ms
artistic temperament is said 20 be
completely counterbalanced by com

ances considered him eccentric.

When last seen, the pianist, who IS
short and inclined toward stoutness and
has black. curly hair, wore a dark
light weight overcoat over a blue serge
suit. straw hat and tan shoes.
At the Commercial Trust Company
and the United States Mortgage and

reprieve. In the early morning ,ele'

expectation. Roach insisted TO the ehd
that he was innocent. He was little more
than half-witted, and his earnestness
so impressed his pastor, the Rev. Roger
r. Williams. Of Johnstown, that after
ward he said he did not believe the
man had done murder.
Roach went 10 his death with n stol-
idness that strengthened the impress
sion that he was not quite sane. Chunhy
and salow, he looked vacuously about
him as he was strapped into the chair
and died with the Lords Prayer on ms
lips.
Il was not n large crowd that hled
into the death house, past the prison,
still Haunting the streamers and ban
ners that had greeted Warden Osborne
on his return from his vacation. A
measured murmur of voices floated on
the still morning air out from behind
the gray walls. Presently this ceased
and there came the sound of Rock Of
Ages" sung softly by many voices The
men had been repeating the litany Cor
the dead.
Five Men Killed.
Antonio Salemme, of Rochester, who
killed his young wife, was the first 10
die. Another Italian. Pasquale Ven
detti, had been picked TO precede him,
but at the last moment the order was
changed, for Saiemme's nerve was
breaking fast He was followed by Ven
detti, who murdered his landlady, Mrs.
Alfdi, Of Brooklyn. He was followed by
Roach and Roach by Tarpy, convicted
of the murder of Michael Creha, who
had discharged him from his job Of
night Waterman in a Brooklyn ware
house.
William Perry, a mulatto. who had
killed his sweetheart in Harlem, was
the last to die
There have been more men killed
of a morning at Sing Sing. At one
time seven died, at another six. The
five who were executed yesterday make
it possible for all the remaining muir
derers TO be housed in the old muir
derers' row. For the present the an

Deputy Warden Johnson for the last
time made easy the way of those who

signed to take up the work of warden
at the Cheshire, Conn, Reformatory.

act was to present Mr.. Johnson with

him.

in the day, when the warden Of
Cheshire Reformatory left the prison.

him an album containing their auto

grown upon tubes Of sterilized gelatin
