When Rorv O'Connor was condemned to death and later shot in December, 1022, for complicity in (ho Four Courts coup in Dublin, Free State Minister of Justice Q'Higgin*, who ordered his. execution, had .to ehoose between friendship and duty, it was learned recently. O'Connor was a close friend of Mr. O'Higgins and bad acted an his best innu at the latter'* wedding only nix months before the sentence of death was passed. Mr. O'Higgins, although every effort was made to have him agree to save his friend, refused to grani i ??)?i leve, 'Hie agonizing struggle between, dutv and friendship completely over-> caine Mi. o'Higg.ns, but perhaps the most dramatic feature of all was when the dead man's Wilt'wan opened and it was discovered that he had left all hi* money to the minister of justice, Logoff School Honor Roll.

The death penalty was inflicted yesterday in Switzerland for the first time in 22 years, says a Berne, Swit zerland dispatch of Thursday. At Altdorf, capital of the Canton of Uri, Clement Bernet was guillotined for the murder of a young girl who sur prised him while in the act of burg lary. There is no official executioner in Uri and the authorities had diffi culty in finding anyone to carry out the sentence. A train hand who plTered to do the job for 500 francs, was forbidden by the federal railroad management when other employes threatened to strike if He were allowed to "cast discredit" upon them. At the last moment a me chanic was induced to pull the trigger releasing the knife. Bernet was the least concerned person at the execu tion. Becoming converted while in prison he refused an appeal for com mutation, and, as he approached the scaffold, he tore the black hood from his head exclaiming: "My victim stared death in the face; it is but just that I do likewise."
