about the negro. Nothing moved
save his hands, with his arms laid
along the arm of the chair. With
fingers half spread, he moved them
up and down gently like a fan. His
lower lip kept time with them,
dropping down when his fingers
fell and closing when he lifted
them. Half way in an upward
movement the current caught him,
and his hands convulsed into a
tight listed grip.
Second Dies Hard.
He died hard. For a full minute
the current roared through him but
still his heart moved when the
stethoscope was applied to his max
ed breast. Again it shot through
him, coming on and going off in a
fashion that made the body tense
and flex, almost as if he was alive
and struggling and the power was
moved up and down. Then he was
dead, dumped into q casket and
hurried out after his companion in
crime and in death.
hopping its face the crowd rush
cd out, some of them sickened,
some of them, hardened by many
executions, not touched, and those
who have to sec such things, seeing
no more in it than a part of the
days work. Warden, attendants,
physicians, reporters who have look
ed often upon such sights, turned
away to other things.
Outside the crowd had grown no
smaller. They watched until, the
dead wagons had hauled away their
grewsome loads, lettering about to
talk about it, to remember this lit
tie thing, or that, which had some
how appealed to them. Nowhere
did one hear mention of the crime
that brought the two negroes to this
terrible thing. Uppemost was the
tragedy of justice that had unfold
cd before their eyes.
Among the spectators was Sheriff
D. L. Blue, of Moore county, whose
quick thinking and steady hand
saved the negroes from being burn
ed at the stake in Southern Pines
on the morning they were captured,
and whose level head saved them
again when they were brought to
trial in Moore county ten days later.
He did not look directly at them
when life was ebbing out of them.
Neither negro left behind him
ans statement other than the affida,
Wits which were laid before the
Governor on Thursday. Thomas
father came here from South Caro-
lima to make last effort to save
his son. He is a Baptist preacher
and highly respected in his home
community. He will take the body
home with him. Murphy goes to
the medical department at Wake
Forest College
Back of the execution is one OF
the blacklist crimes in the history
Of the State. Mr.. and Mrs. A. E.
Ketchen, and their year old son, en-
route from Florida to New England,
camped for the night near Southern
PiMes. Their ear was broken into,
Mr.. Ketchen SHOT through the left
breast, Mrs. Kctchen beaten and
raped, and their valuables stripped
from them. Next morning three
negroes were arrested, and came
near being lynched.
Sheriff Blue Communicated fast
automobile and left for Raleigh
closely pursued by score of citi-
zens. On the way here John Lee,
the third of the party, confessed,
duplicating Murphy and Thomas as
the perpetrators of tho assault.
Property belonging to the Kitchens
was found on Murphy and Thomas.
Troops from Durham and Saleigh
guarded the prison during tile night
and stood guard during the trial.
