New YOrk.-After two years ut the
door of death-the grim, green door in
Sing Sing-.Joseph Cohen has come
back.
Freed from the charge OF murder
which had been hanging over his head
for nearly five years, he is hard at
work on his old job-unloading chick

fearless king joe"
"Once," he says with rasping voice,
~ was within seven minutes of the
chair The governors reprieve came
Just in time. If it had been delayed !
wouldn't be here now"
Cohen had been convicted Of insti-
eating the Baff murder, which rivaled
The Rosenthal case in popular interest.
In 1917 he was sentenced to the death
house.
In paze at Trial,
II was in daze from the start OF
the trial" said Cohen. 1.-THE whole
business was so unbelievable. But
when found myself in the little gray
house up the river | knew that 1t was
real-all too real.
~ couldn't bear to look mt the bars.
So l slept with my head toward the
door. One night | heard buzzing
noise on the other side Of the wall. II
was the electric chair. l was nearly
frantic.
Thirteen men passed by my cell on
the way to their death. AS each would
go by, there would be a noisy good-by
from the other men.
Suddenly we would hear the buzz
of the motor. It's the most terrible
sound In the wOrld-absolutely indie
scribable. We would lose our heads and
scream. But-soon everything was
quiet again.
1T Is not the man in the chair who
is being punished" Cohen said earnest
ly. hut the men who are left behind
Theirs is n living death. Any of them
would rather die Immediately than
linger in the death house.
II wanted to die. The only thing that
kept up my courage was the thought
of my innocence and the stigma that
would have been left on my family.

1t was all over In little while. The
kid went through the little green

'None of us slept that night. I was

calling with the rest. For three days
and four nights lay In solitary. When
I got out couldn't talk.
Couldn't Forget Door.
Sometimes the men told Jokes.
Sometimes they laughed. But 1t wasn't
often. They couldn't forget that little
door and the buzzing Noise"
Cohen shuddered.
After Cohen was reprieved his sent

house.
