EDDYVILLE, KY, May 28.-
Within less than hour three men,
one a negro, were electrocuted at
the state prison here early today,
making the third time since the
electric chair was installed here
that a triple execution has been
staged.
The men were Elisha Sloan, 81,
convicted of having killed DR..
Marvin Kingins; Ed Lake, 80,
Louisville, who killed his wife and
Mrs. Mary Smith, then shot him
self four times in an effort to end
his own life, and John Baker, 81,
negro, convicted of killing his
wife.
All of the men walked calmly
to the chair, displaying no emo
tion. Sloan, the first to be TAX
en- from his cell seemed in a
stupor. He was strapped in the
chair at 12:47 a. M, and nine
minutes afterwards was pro-
nounced dead. Lake followed
quickly and eight minutes after
the current was turned on was
pronounced dead. Baker was
strapped in the chair at 1:15 a.
m. and at 1 rs was pronounced
dead.
The executions were witnessed
by % persons, among them being
Paul and Carroll Kingins, brothers
of DR.. Marvin Kingins.
Both Sloan and Baker joined
churches yesterday, the former
the Methodist and the latter the
Catholic. Each of the three men
maintained that their crimes were
not sufficient to warrant the
death penalty, Baker declaring
that in 1915 he killed his first
wife at Kansas City and was SEN
fenced to only one year in the
penitentiary.
