tan of modern times: an American should
feel insulted to have 70 be argued with

thorne of the Episcopal church in a

The pastor declared the Red Cross

as II needed dollars and that ore who
talked against it was traitorous.

VERMONT"S FIRST
ELECTROCUTION
IT Will Take Place in March, 1918, But
the Actual Date is Not Settled
at This Time.

Windsor, Sept, 4.--For many years the
Green Mountain state has inflicted its
punishment on convicted murderers by the
ancient method of hanging. II sufficed
for that purpose and was probably as
good as any if any of them are good.
But in the year 1915 it was decided to
conform with the method of some other
states and thus the electric chair was
substituted for the rope
In the future those unfortunates who
pay the extreme penalty of the law in
Vermont will meet their fate by what
Is termed by some as the most genteel
method Death will be caused by cleo
trio shock.
The first person who will experience
this punishment, if ne is alive next
March, will be Francis Ketchum, aged
20.
Mr.. Ketchum was convicted of having
killed man named Costello in Ben
nington county. He has been confined
at the prison for the past six weeks.
Ketchum has already done one term at
this institution. That time it was for
burglary.
The common knowledge of the law on
capital punishment in Vermont is that
a session of the legislature must lapse
before person convicted of murder can
be executed. This idea is erroneous. This
specification rests entirely with the trial

ton. He may or may not grant it.
