Rlcheson Went To Bis Death Bravely, Boston, May 21.?'The misshapen body of Ol^renco V. T. Richeson, who was executed just after midnight fox the murder of a cast-off sweetheart, will be claimed lay his brother, DoagJaa, today and probably taken to Amherst court house, in Virginia, for burial. Before the young murderer's body is turned over to the brother, it will be placed under the county physician's knife for the legal autopsy. That the brain of the electric chair's victim will be given to a medical college is denied by officials. The execution of Richeson is declared to have been the most successful witnessed in the death house since the institution of the chair. It was necessary to apply the current only once and less than fifteen minutes after "Warden Bridges and the party of witnesses left the prison office for the death house they filed back and attached their signatures to the papers stating that the order of the court had been complied with. After his collapse of last Friday, it ^ Sxi.A T-fc _ 1 naa Deen iearea mat rucneson wouia ' not be able to stand tne final strain, but on the way from his cell to the execution chamber his steps did not falter and he answered the questions as to his faith in God put to him by his spiritual advisor, without flinching. It was nearly daylight before the last of the morbidly curious who had hung around the prison gate throughout the night departed In pouiing rain more than a thousand people stood outside the prison walls for hours awaiting the word that the execution had taken place. Another Fears Death. Denver, May .21.?Oscar Cook, murderer, condemned to die in November, rose from his cot in tne county 3 ail at midnight and hoarsely called to his guarci: "Has that preacher Richescn been electrocuted yet? I can't sleep thinking of him.', Through the night, as the guard tramped the corridor, the condemned man clung to the bars of his cell. "Can't yoti telephone the newspapers and find out if be died like a man or a cur? See if he had to be carried," he asked. "Is It easier than to be hanged? Do you think there is any chance of the state' putting in a chair before Noyember?" Cook refused to return to bed, declaring that horrible visions filled his dreams. Members of Bar to Meet.

The State Democratic Convention met in Columbia last Wednesday and elected delegates to the National Democratic Convention, which meets in Baltimore. John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, was elected State chairman | to succeed Gen. Wilie Jones, of Columbia, who has held the position for sixteen years, i The meeting was at times stormy due to the Blease and Anti-Blease spirit, but as the opponents of the governor were largely in the majority, it was practically useless for the followers of the executive to attempt to get hftfnrA the bodv. Governor Blease was o\ erwhelmingly defeated for a delegate to the national convention. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was endorsed for the presidency, but the convention refused to instruct the delegates for Wilson. Col. J. Brooks Wingard, of Lexington, was elected a district delegate. The convention that night elected fionot^pR R. Tillman. Senator E. D. Smith, R. I. Manning of Sumter and John Gary Evans of Spartanburg as delegates at large to tho national Democratic convention.
