NEGRO ESCAPES
ELECTRIC CHAIR

Columbia, April 11.-Onthc declara-
tion Of the State Pardon Boards re-
commentator that "thc weight of the
undisputed fact is decidedly inclined
to the negro's favor" Governor Coop
er this afternoon commuted to life
Imprisonment the sentence Of death
pronounced on Abraham Williams, !,
negro, last year by an Orangchurg
county Court.
Williams was convicted Of at
tempted criminal assault on six
teen year old white girl near
Branchvilc while she was deliver
ing, it is alleged, Il letter to his
wife. Clcmency was recommended
by the trial Judge and ten of the
jurors which convicted Williams.
According to the pardon board rec
ommcndation, the girl is suffering
from Il disease which causes her
to be in a highly nervous cond-
ton at times. "In its extended re-
port, the pardon board states that
the demcanor Of the negro the cir
cumstancrs surrounding the alleged
crime and the physical condition
Of the girl after her report to her
parents raise Il strong presumption
Of doubt of the guilt Of the negro"

RICH new YORKER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Frank ". Duryea an Officer in Army
Cause of Deed Unknown.

San Francisco, April 1l.-An army
aboard Of inquiry into the death of
Major Frank w. Duryea, in his
quarters today, found that he had
committed suicide by shooting, but
learned nothing of any motive.
Major Duryca, member of a
wealthy New York family, was Il
son of Gen. Hiram Duryca, Zouavc
leader in the civil war. He served
two years overseas in the ordance
department and had been stationed
at Ninth Army Corps Area head
quarters here about year in the
finance department.
New York, April 1.-The spectre
Of violent death which apparently
has been rclcntlcssly tracking the
male line of the Duryea's, wealthy
New York society family, claimed
its third victim with the suicide in
San Francisco today of Major
Farnk w. Duryca.
The first was Gen. Hiram Duryea,
a whitehaircd, picturesque figure,
who led the Zouaves in the stirring
days of the civil war and who on
May 5, 1914, at the age of eighty
one, was shot down and killed by
his son, Chester in his home in the
Day NhiSc ScCllOu Ol bIDOklNT.
Chester, who was alleged to have
fired the fatal shot after his father
had refused a demand for money,
now is in an insane asylum. The
next Duryca to fall was killed by
his own hand. He was Harry H.
Duryca, Il brother Of Chester and
Frank
A man Of prominence in the f.
nancial world he was found shot
to death in his Madison avenue Of
flee on July 27, 1921. His attorney
declared that Mr.. Duryea, inherit
ing large fortune from his father,
who had been president and found
cr Of the National Starch Company,
had no financial worries.
The widow and son Of Major
Frank Duryca who hold Il high po-
sition in the business and social
life of the city were stunned today
