DEATH CELL
NOW EMPTY

Columbia, Dec. 22.-The death calls
IN the South Carolina state prison TO-
night were empty.
| Inc sole occupant, since prison off,
cials decided to remove all prisoners
not under sentence to die on a definite
date to the ordinary cell blocks, today
paid the penalty for his offense
against the laws Of the state. Shortly
after ten O'Clock this morning, Frank
M. Jeffords, one Of the three slayers
OF J. c. Annette, his partner in bus
mess, marched out Of the cell which
ne had occupied since early last sum-
rner. At 10:17 o'clock he sat in the
chair Of death and at 1920 the cleo
trio current that snuffed out his life
was turned on.
The current was gradually increas-
cd from 500 volts to 1900 and four
minutes later attending physicians
announced that the states claim
against Jeffords had been collected.
This afternoon Jeffords wife claim
cd his body. No announcement was
made as to when or where it would
he buried.
Ieffords, according to prison officials.
was one Of tho calmest men that ever
went to the electric chair in this
state. He stood with his hands be-
hind his back, his legs spread slightly
apart and learning slightly forward,
while Captain Roberts, of the prison
guard, read to him the death warrant.
Newspaper correspondents, who, with
Captain Roberts, we're the only per-
sons present in the cell when the war
rant was read, stood with barred heads.
All felt the tensity Of the situation.
But Jeffords, the man most concerned
in the whole affair, showed not a trace
Of emotion.
Have you anything to say?" the
captain Of the guards asked the con-
demned man.
Nothing Sir, except that you see
that my grip is sent on" with the re-
ply. He added that his belongings
were in his grip in the cell except
his Bible, which, he said, would be
there when the prison officials came
for the bag.
Two letters in his pockets he asked
to be turned hVer to his brother. This
was done without the content, hains

again was the calmest person present.
He walked firmly and as he entered
greeted the two score witnesses with a
cool "good morning, gentlemen" Seat
cd in the chair he said that he wanted
all to see in his execution an example
md that he was ready to 60. Then he
repeated the twenty-third psalm and
as he added the word "Amen" the cur
rent was turned on, ending his life.
While Jeffords was being executed
Ira Harrison, confessed slayer of Ar
nette and under sentence to die on
February l6 unless the supreme court
interferes, lay in a state Of semi-con-
sciousness in the prison hospital. Har-
rison has been In this condition for
more than two weeks. He was SEN
fenced to die today along with JEFF
fords but an appeal to the supreme
court resulted in a stay Of execution
and Governor Harvey reprieved him
until February 16.

GEORGIA JUDGE
RAPS KU KLUX

! Albany. Ca, Dec. 22.-Sharp criti-
elsm OF the Ku Klux Klan, assertions
OF its harmfulness and suggestions
Tor combating it were contained In
the charge to the grand jury today by
Judge William H. Barrett of the Unit.
ed States district court for south
Georgia, at the opening of the AL.
bany division.
| with the earnestness and zeal of

assumed as great magnitude as many
would have us believe but which In

itic and II we are to treat it wisely we
should treat it now, in its incipiency.
and that is the Ku Klux Klan."
Il am told that the constitution Of
this organization is worded in such a
way that no patriotic citizen can cavil
at it," Judge Barrett continued, "but
my information is that the real mo.
tives that lead to joining, though not
professed in the constitution. ara
usually one Of four, I may say. One
that perhaps had considerable forcs
at the initiation Of It was an anti.
negro sentiment, founded upon the
proposition that by reason of the un-
usual treatment accorded some negro
soldiers abroad there might be an eff.
fort on their part to create an un.
happy situation here. Another il an
anti-Catholic sentiment, which would
seek If not punish, at least greatly
to subdue all those who believe in
that religion. Another was nm anti
Jewish sentiment. Another, and per-
haps the most general-and I do not
wish to be vituperative-was in arro-
eating to themselves a super knowl-
edge and virtue by which they would
determine what things were wronp.
and that they could correct them
wholly independent Of the govern
ment, courts and law.
II ask you, gentlemen" the judge
continued, "eye to eye and face to

Of wrong is light, and you may count

must act with hidden countenance
and in secret, in the depths of his
keart he doubts his rightness. I call
t. his attention the fact that a mask

him if he does realize that by this
practice, however worthy he may
think for the moment, he is turning
loose the beast which will overturn
all good government, all law, all JUS
tice, all love Of man and bring our
country to desoation and despair"
