Raleigh-Two Rowan county black
boys, J. W. Ballard, II, and Bernice
Matthews, IS, gave the states electric
[chair one of the hardest pulls in its
service of nearly p years Dec. II
when they were put to death for
the murder of Frank Stewart, filling
station operator, on Labor day of this
year.
Efacing them was a job. The
younger and guiltier, Ballard, went
out almost blithely, but his heart
would not stop beating. The state
played the current Of electricity on
him for more than three minutes.
And when attendants picked him up
to carry him to the dead wagon, one
of his ears was burned half off.
His co-slayer died more easily, but
not so gracefully. Ballard went into
the chair and gave it a perfect sur-
vey. He joined the preachers in their
chants, but when they lifted a hymn
his mouth was bound and the cur
rent was devouring him before they
had finished the first line of ''Pass
Me Not, o Gentle Saviour" While

TWO ROWAN COUNTY NEGROES
Die In The ELECTRIC CHAIR
FOR MURDER OF FRANK STEWART

there was life he was all talk. He was
inviting everybody to join him in
the life above and asked particularly
that his sister meet him in heaven.
To the minister's question as to his
guilt, he said without equivocation
that he was Stewards murderer.
The slender black had confessed
many times but always left the i'm
preston that he killed Frank Stewart
as the result of a quarrel over IS
cents said to be due the prisoner by
the dead man. But robbery was the
manifest motive. Rowan witnesses to
the execution said the boys gathered
$40 from the killing. Ballard did the
shooting, but he said Matthews fur
nished the gun.
When the attendants carried the
youth out, Matthews came in. He
chanted with much more difficulty
the appropriate scriptures. Thou
anointest my head with OIL" he
mumbled as the attendants clamped
the helmet over his head and fast
ened it under his chin. Matthews
made a strange outcry as though the
leather was choking him, but he was

warming to a religious fervor. He
was caught in a song. There was
something weird about the anoint-
ment of the black boys head with
oil, when the attendants were press
ing down the headgear that guarantees
sudden death.
But they did anoint him and his
associate with water. Thrice the
warden poured from a bucket a mug
Of liquid to make the killing more
certain. The floor and the chair were
saturated and Matthews was seated
on a bottom from which the water
had been wiped. The state found him
easier than his junior. Both died hard.
Three neighbors of the dead man
drove down from Salisbury to see it.

Uncle Sam Pays Huge
Sum For Gun Salutes

1t costs Uncle Sam about $4,000
annually to salute the Stars and Stripes
at sunrise and sunset and welcome
visiting army generals and govern
mental personages.
1t was estimated at Eight Corps
Area headquarters at Fort Sam Hous-
ton that the powder used at the army's
800 posts throughout the nation and
possessions in firing reveille and re-
treat guns cost $265,0Oo a year.
1t requires another $4,000 for sa-
lutes to visiting civilian and military
dignitaries.
Corps area headquarters estimated
it took $1.21 to fire a f~rst-class sa-
lutte to a rising sun. Items: One pound
of powder, primer, cap, felt wad and
two cents worth of rubbering paint
to seal the charge.
Overhead charges such as pay of
officers and men who complete the
ceremony and wear and tear on equip
ment were not taken into considera-
ton.
Statutes to visitors come a little
higher, due to the fact that l IL
pounds of powder are used. These
were estimated to cost $1.47 each.

N. Carolina Resources Neglected, Director Says

Kenerly, Rowan deputy, witnessed the
execution, the first that they had ever
seen. Mr.. Shoals father was for many
years constable in Rowan and Mr..
Kenerly's father had been superinten-
dent of the Rowan prison camps. The
boys were too young to have establis-
ed much of a record for crime.
They never perfected their appeals
when they tried in Rowan, but the
Supreme court reviewed their case
anyway and found no error in it. 81
