FATHER TALKS TO
SONS MURDERERS

How does it feel to stand here face
to face with the father of the boy
you killed."
This question was asked yesterday
morning in the death house at the
state penitentiary of S. j. Kirby, C.
0. Fox and Jesse Gappins by w. E.
Erazell, father Of William Brazell,
the young taxi driver, for whose muir
der Kirby, Gappins and Fox are to
die in the electric chair Friday, and
the only answer the three men could
give was the repetition of their stories
as to how the crime, took place.
1t was Mr.. Brazell's first visit to
the three men since their sentencing,
although he had sat through the trial
and had twice heard Kirby, Gappins
and Fox sentenced to die. The trip
was made at the request of Kirby,
who asked Mr.. Brazell to call at the
death house to see him before the
eleetrocution. None of the three men
recognized Mr.. Brazcll when he con
frqII them, separated from them
onlSgy the barred cell doors.
"I'm glad to see you," Kirby told
the murdered boys father, "but not
here. ] wanted to see you before I
left this world to tell you that be-
fore God 1 am sorry for what 1 did.
would to God that l could exchange
with your boy and would gladly lay
down my life if 1 could bring him
back"
"Wtaat I never could understand, -
Mr.. Brazell interrupted, "is why you
three big strapping men had to kill
my little boy to take his car"
"It's mystery to me, too," Kirby
said. "I'd never seen him before.
Gappins and Fox were waiting for me
at the Seaboard station and they told
me first to get Big Bills car and it
had been burned up so they told me
then to get any car and saw your
boys car parked near Main street. 1t
was the first one came to and that's
the reason that he was killed"
"Kirby," Mr.. Brazell told him, "you
have talked a good deal about your
wife and am sorry for her, but did
you ever think of my poor boys moth
er, who was an invalid at the time
,Qf the boys murder and ever since ?"
am sorry for them and for, you,,''

+ A little boy offered to get them
one He only had to go a few steps
before he found one. And he held
the door open wide for the two men
as he had seen carriage starters and
automobile starters do.
He had been looking for odd Jobs
that evening. His Christmas money
was not very much, and he did want
TO get just few Christmas presents
TO give away. He had already made
some If he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted TO get her a pink carnation.
He had seen such beauties. and they
were ten cents apiece.
One of the men paid no attention 20
him. The other fumbled at his
pocket. Here, don't be silly. youll
give the child bad ideas" said his
friend. "He really didn't do anything.
He will think he can beg for any
thing. That's a bad influence you're
exerting." he muttered on, as the man
who had fumbled at his pocket drew
forth a shiny ten-cent piece and gave
it TO the boy, whose pale face and
dark eyes lighted up in joy.
Later they stopped in at restsu-
rant TO have something to eat The
man who had reproved the other for
/ the ten-cent tip to the small boy hand
ed the waiter a large tip in advance,
which made the waiter fawning in his
attentions.

planned, "and then. too, it's Christmas
time"
But the friend who had been re-
proved said You don't think you're
exerting a bad influence by any
chance, do youy"
And the boy bought the carnation
and went home. successful and happy.
