SCHNEIDEMUHL, Prussia, May -
The Eydtkuhnen Berlin express was de-
rallied early today in the Polish corridor
between Swaroschen and Starongard,
killing between thirty and forty persons
and injuring two score.
The locomotive and most of the
coaches were hurled down a steep grade
and only one sleeping car and one coach
remained on the track. The derailment
is believed to have been due to the
train speeding around a sharp curve.
The derailed train tore down the
telephone wires, cutting off communica-

OSSINING, N. Y, May morris
Diamond and Joseph Diamond, brothers,
and John Farina, went to the electric
chair at Sing Sing prison last night for
the murder in Brooklyn of two bank
messengers in 1928.
Morris, who entered the death cham
Der shortly after IL o'clock, was cool
and composed. He made brief state
ment of his innocence, asserting he had
not been given fair trial and that he
was sorry for all" who had participated
in it, Joseph showed no signs Of the
strain he had been reported to be suf-
fering, and in few words declared his
innocence.
Outwardly the calmest of the three,
John Farina came last, smoking a cigar
and approaching the chair without the
slightest show of fear. He threw the
cigar to the floor and began to pray as
he sat down. His only message was Il
forgive every one, and ask forgiveness
in return"
At 11:40 o'clock Farina was pro-
nounced dead and the triple execution
was over.
