"FEELS LIKE ROCKING CHAIR"
So Says Negro Man When Placed in
Electric Chair.

Chanting a negro melody and as
serting that "this juice you are 60
ing to give me is nothing but Gods
grace" Harvey Whaley, Calhoun
county negro, convicted of accessory
to the murder of Earl Wadford at
Lone Star, some months ago, was
electrocuted at the State penitentiary
at Columbia last Friday morning.
His partner in crime, Feetie Fogle,
another negro, was eletrocuted last
spring. Whaley went to his death
protesting his innocence. The spec
tators of the act of the law were as
tonished when as the cap was being
adjusted on the negro's head, he said,
"white folks, this feels like rocking
chair" and he went on humming un-
til the deadly electric current put a
stop to his song and sent his soul to
another world.
Whaley entered the chair at 11:39
o'clock. He went into the death cell
humming, and as he approached the
chair, he stopped his song to ejacu-
late: Gall I got to do, white folks
is shut my eyes," and the statement
seemed to be like question. Colonel
Sanders, the prison superintendent,
then asked him if he had anything
more to say, before he died. 81 am
innocent, white folks, and hope to
meet every one of you in Heaven"
he said just before he was electro
cuted. Feetie Fogle made the state
ment that Whaley was not guilty, and
Governor Cooper granted repreve.
After a prolonged and expensive in
vestigation into the murder of Mr..
Wexford, the Executive reached the
conclusion that Whaley was guilty
and he refused to interfere further
with the mandate of the courts.

ton had given him statement as to
the hanging of four negro soldiers
on one gallows at one time, each clad
Gin the uniform that General Pershing
wears"
The same soldier had informed him,
he said, that these men were hanged
without courtmartial.
Another soldier had informed him,
Mr.. Watson said, that the body of
"a negro convict, the black cap still
over his face" had been exhumed
and sent to the home of white
woman in Rochester, n. Y, whose
son had been killed in action.
"Just such case happened in my
home county in Georgia" the senator
added.
William T. Collins of Titusville,
Pa, in a letter presented by Senator
Watson, said he saw a negro hanged
but did not know if there was
courtmartial. Another correspondent
from Elmira, N. Y, said that he had
"seen two negroes hanged" in France,
and Harry D. Waldron of New York.
an exsergeant in the army service
corps, the senator said, offered to
give evidence of "cold blooded MUIR
der" in the American expeditlonary
force and destruction of files Of the
Bastile prison.
Finally after presenting an a1f-
davit from Joseph D. Conwell OF
Philadelphia stating that he saw a
negro hanged in uniform, Senator
Watson said the executions cited by
him already had passed the figures
given by the war department and
Chairman Wadsworth of the senate
military affairs committee.
"The further we go the worse 1t
gets" he continued, "the more we
stir it the worse it stinks."
Beaumont, Texas, Nov. SO. A.
Daigle, a former lieutenant in the A.
E.. F., today declared that the alleged
hanging of a soldier by the Ameri-
can army officials in the La Rochelle
area of France during the war, re-
ferred to by Senator Watson OF Geor'
gia, never took place, the negro, ac-
cording to Daigle, is William Curtis
now serving life term at Fort Leav'
enworth, Kan.
Curtis, according to Daigle, who
says he attended the courtmartial as
an interpreter, was found guilty Of
attacking q seven year old French
girl.
He was condemned to death, Daiglt
said, but later the sentence was com
muted because of the fact that th'
French law is opposed to capital pun
i::hment for such crimes.
