will Not See Each Other
Mrs. Snyder and Gray will not
have to suffer the torture of seeing
Zach other on the way to the execu-
zion chamber. Warden Lawes Is
determined upon that point. He is
seeking q way to allow the woman
kc be the first one to die, yet avoid
their seeing each other.
The cell of Mrs. Snyder, in the
gpnnen's section Of death row" Is
about 100 feet from the electric
chair. It will take her about 80 or
90 seconds to traverse this distance
through two passages and four
doors. Passing through the third
door. Mrs. Snyder will walk past the
