en- to the prison to avoid the yossi-
bility of the men being lynched. At
ter being kept at tie prison for sew
eral days the two Lawrences were
brought back to Jail here.
Charges of murder were filed
against both. men but following the
conviction of Will and his sentence
Of death, Babe" was turned over to
authorities at Fort Worth, Texas,
where he was found guilty of rob-
berry with gun in connection with
the staying of Deputy Sheriff Joe
Morgan of Muskogee, Okla, near that
place in June, 1924 and was sem
fenced to serve a life term in the
Texas penitentiary.
1t was alleged that Deputy Shereiff
Morgan went to Fort Worth, Texas,
to bring the two boys back to Mus
kogee, OKLA, to face a charge of car
stealing and that the brothers over
powered hun and taking his own gun
shot and killed him and made their
escape.
Lawrence kept a smile on his face
throughout the trial. Even when the
death sentence was pronounced upon
he grinned and said that he had
nothing to say.

were set forth. The supreme court
upheld the judgment of the lower
court and subsequently denied re-
hearing.
The decision of the supreme court
was unusual in that it held that the
jury list had not been properly drawn |
but it said that this did not prevent
Lawrence from receiving a fair and
impartial trial.
The decision was written by JUS |
tice A. c. Lockwood and held that
the board of supervisors had not OBJ
served the law in that the jury had
been drawn from only $500 Registered
voters instead of from 1900. This |
was the basis used by attorneys for
Lawrence in their effort to have the
case reviewed by the United States /
supreme court.
Frantic efforts to save the life of |
Lawrence were made by his aged /
mother and by his 16year-old sister, |
Fay Gene Lawrence, Phoenix high ,
school girl, who circulated petitions
asking that the sentence be commut- |
ed to one of life Imprisonment. They |
both declared that Lawrence had
been unjustly bounded by police of I
ficers and that this had caused him
to slay the officer.
Another sensation Of the effort to /
save the life of Lawrence was an {
affidavit by Fay Gene Lawrence in
which she asserted that Babe" had
confessed to her that he and not
Will had fired the shot that had cost
the life, of Burch.

ARIZONA STATE PRISON, FLOR
ENCE, Ariz., Jan. 8.-William A.
Lawrence of Muskogee, OKLA, went
to his death on the gallows here
this morning with "a display OF
steellike nerves that amazed even
prison officials. He walked steadily
to the death chamber, asserted his
innocence of the Staying, of Police
man Haze Burch of Phoenix for
which the death penalty was being
exacted, offered a seven minute
prayer, and at 5:22 the trap was
sprung which sent him into eternity.
Nine and a half minutes later he
was pronounced dead by prison Of
ficials.
While waiting in his cell for his
executioners to lead him to the death
chamber Lawrence strummed guitar
and sang a lifting Spanish love
song and then an old time Okla
homa plainsman's song. AS the
guards led him to the gallows he
asked them to notice that his steps
were steady.
In his brief Statement Lawrence
denied his guilt but i said that he
had only forgiveness for everyone.
He said that he accepted Christ
and asked the spectators to kneel
and sa.pray with him. AS he arose
from his sevenF minute prayer the
death trap was sprung.
Warden r. B. Sims of the prison
said after the execution that Law
renee was "the gamest man he ever
saw go to the gallows.'
Seventy persons crowded in the
small execution rooms to watch Law
renee go to his death. Among them
was Mrs. Ethel Egstrom, of Globe,
the first woman to witness an execu-
tion at this prison. Forty more per-
sons were unable to gain adnittance
to the small room.
Lawrence spent the twenty seventh
anniversary of his birth in the death
cell at the prison yesterday. In co.l-
pliance with last wish made to his
mother and sister his body viii be
sent to Shawnee, Okla, for burial.
