SLAYERS OF BRAZELL
PAY DEATH PENALTY
FOX. GAPPINS AND KIRBY DIE IN
ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR CRIME
Kirby Tries to Escape From Straps
and Makes No Answer to Ques-
ticn for Statement

The State, II.
S. j. Kirby, Jesse J. Gappins and
C. o. Fox, convicted murderers of
William Brazell, young Columbia
transfer driver, early yesterday
morning went to their death in the
electric chair at the state penitentia-
ry, so paying with their own lives
for the life they had taken. Kirby
was SO years Old, Fox 32 years OLD
and Gappins % years old.
Gappins and Fox went to their
death with little if any show of emo
ton. both making short statements
lust before the current was turned
on. Kirby, after having asked to be
allowed to make a short statement
collapsed in the chair and was appar-
ently unable to voice the words that
he would have said. Calmly Fox and
Gappins watched the penitentiary OF
fcials adjust the straps that held
them in the chair and emotlonless
thew waited while the two electrodes
were placed. Kirby, however, after
having, at his own request, walked
unaided from his cell to the death
chamber made some little resistance
to his being strapped in the chair and
attempted to free his one arm from
the leather bands that held it to the
arm of the electric chair.
Fox and Gappins in thlir oref
statements added nothing new to
their stories as before told and botn
hoped, they said, that their death
would serve as warning to others
tempted to crime. Fox, as ne has
done. from the very moment OF ms
arrest. admitted again his guilt ana
EXPRESSED his sorrow and regret at
the part he had played in it, Gapplns
however maintained to the end that
the truth had not been told and oe-
Teved, he said, that he would not
have had to die in the chair had the
truth been told. Kirby made no
statement.

asleep at the time and had to be
awakened. but both Fox and Gapplns
were awake and dressed for thelr
electrocution. At 5:23 o'clock Cap
tain Roberts of the penitentlary
guard read the death warrant to Fox
and Gappins as they stood IN thelr
cells. Both men had been crying ana
tears rolled down Gappins' cheeks as
he stood leaning on the bars OF ms
cell. "And may God have mercy up
on YOUR souls,'' Captain Roberts read
and turned to leave. ''It won't be
long now," he told the two men. The
sooner the BETTER" Fox answered
them.
AS Captain Roberts approached
Kirby's cell three ministers were
there kneeling outside the barred
door praying with the doomed man.
Respectfully Captain Roberts waited
and when the little service was over
walked up to the cell and there read
the death warrant to Kirby. How
are YOU feeling, Kirby?" he asked
when the reading was done. Still

"I've still got the grace of God'

Transporting Liquor.

Madison. transporting intOXicat-
ing liquor is transporting liquor and
a violation of the prohibition laws
wheth her the persons doing the trans
porting knows he is carrying the in
toxicants or not, J. 4. Messersehmidt,
assistant attorney general, advised
O. ]. Falge, district attorney at
I.adYsmitb, in an opinion today.
He pointed out however, that under
the law the person who unknowingly
violated the law could be used as a
witness against others who were a
party 10 the violation and have pro-
eaedings against himself dropped.
The question arose when Negro
agreed to carry seven lumberjacks in
his car. The lumberjacks had two
Jugs of moonshine unbeknown TO the
driver, and when arrested with the
other men for violating the prohibition
law, he pleaded that he had not known
Of the moonshine until the men COM
meneed TO drink.
District Attorney Falge said that he
could only imagine what would have
happened to the driver had he al
tempted at that time to throw the
jugs from his car. He asked what
could be done to help the driver out
of his predicament.
Mr.. Messersehmidt advised the dis
trict attorney that he should have the
driver act as witness against the
lumberjacks aud allow proceedings
againt him to be dropped on that
grounds.

What State Forestry Does for The
Citizen.

In the old days We lind that the
forest played an important part IN
the practical success of the farmer.
There were sawmills and small wood
using industries which furnished a
local market for the products of his
wood lot. The farmer was able TO
sell his timber and he usually did hls
own numbering, thereby securing a
return for his time and for The use Of
his equipment.
In bringing back a successful agri-
culture in the regions where there is
a large amount Of lean land, We must
again look to the forest as one OF
the most important factors The
mere production of trees, however,
will not bring people to tie land and
to the villages There must also be
built up local industries to use the
products of the forests.
The most effective influence which
will tend in the long run to meet The
situation is the state forest Small

istence Of the public enterprise Will
benefit every farmer and every village

through the development of the re-
creation service of the forest, through
the public improvements, and through

SUB COMMITTEES
T ALL To ACRE {
ON WAGE SCALE
viii So Report to the Meet
ing of Miners and Opera
tors Today; Four Tenta-
tive Plans Outlined.

Chicago, Nov. 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Two sub-commit-
tees, one representing coal opera
tors and the other the miners of
the bituminous fields, comforting
here in an effort to agree on some
plan to negotiate a wage scale at
n meeting OF miners and operators
next January, announced tonight
that they had disagreed after an
all day conference and would so
report 10 the meeting of miners
and operators tomorrow morning
The announcement was made by
Harry N. Taylor OF Kansas City,
president of the Southwestern Coal
Operators association.
-Four tentative plans were con-
sidered by the subcommittee for
negotiating new agreements, il
was stated. One involved vir-
tual reinstatement of the old CEN
tral competitive field as the basis,
another would have enlarged the
central competitive field by the
addition OF Kentucky and West
Virginia and the third and fourth
were plans for a national confer
ence of operators and miners to
meet to form an agreement.
This simply MEANS" said Mr..
Taylor, chat the committees
could not agree and does not mean
that the general conference will
not be able to adopt method.

ADDITION FOR "
STATE ASYLUM
MEETS A DELAY
Fire at Las Vegas Mills
Holds Up Work on Sev-
eraI Other Large StruC-
lures in New Mexico.

Las Vegas, N. M, Nov. 16.--One
of the most serious features of
the big fire that destroyed the
Gross Kelly and company lumbet
mill here Tuesday night is that
it will delay work on a number Of
buildings which are under con-
struction here and in other parts
of the state. One of the most i'm
portant of these Is the addition to
the New Mexico Hospital for the
Insane. All of the doors. sash and
other mill work had been com
pleted and stored in the mill for
delivery when the structdre had
advanced to the point where they
were needed.
A large number of closed lock-
ers which had been completed for
the new Catholic school here;
much OF the mill work for the new
Las Vegas Baptist church, now
nearing completion, and finished
for number of school
houses outside the city, were en-
tirely destroyed.
The company has announced i,
will replace the destroyed mate
rials from other mills, where It
can be obtained most quickly. The
mill carried the largest payroll in
the city except the Santa Fe shops,
and provided an outlet for numer-
Gus sawmills in the mountains west
Of the city and which are heavy
contributors to the business inter-
ests of Las Vegas.

CHARGE A MAN WITH
STEALING A HOUSE,
MOVING IT ID MILES

Tucson, Ariz,, Nov. 16.--Distance
and moving difficulties meant
nothing to l.. \. TRADER. nor did
ownership enter into the affair, ac-
cording to the local sheriffs office
who this morning arrested the
man on a charge of stealing ranch
house and moving it fourteen miles
to 81 new location. The need Of q
home offset all other angles to tie
question. according to authorities
and TRADER hesitated not.
The house, large frame build
ing, originally was located in Bear
canyon, eighteen miles from Tue
son, and was occupied by ranch
er whose name was not learned
this morning by the sheriff. The
owner has been absent FOR some
three months and returning yes
terday located the house four
miles northeast of town on land
belonging to Traber, who was oc-
cupying the structure. The owner
swore out a complaint and Traber
was arrested but refused TO divulge
the means used for transporting
the house fourteen miles through
exceedingly rough and rocky foot
hill country.
