PJCKENS-'THE GEM OF THE FOOTHILLS e. A NEW1SPAPER WITH A CONSCIENCE VOLUME 25-NUMBER 9 ICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY N THREE MEN ELECTROCUTED Paid Death Penalty Friday for 3)lsl Brutal Murder Columbia, June 16.-S. J. Kirby Jesse Gappins and C. O. Fox were clectrocuted at the penitentiary thi: morning shortly, after a o'clcek foi the murder of William Brazell, Co. lumbia taxi-driver, near Leesville ci the night of August 7, last. The trio went to their deaths sing ing and praying. Kirby went first end he feigned insanity an tried tc get his Ifi(nds from the straps. Thc off iceis tcld him he better take it easy, but a second time he slipped his hands from the straps. Then1 four guards took hold of him forcefully, the straps Were mad) tighter thau usual and the current was sent thru n: body, the man being deprived, bccaub; of ecntrary behavior, o-f the '"., privilege c making a last state ment. Ga ppians went second and Fox last, the entire procedure consunl:ng forty ninutes. Fox and Gappins made last statcnlnts in which they warnc(1 young men1 against bad coim pny and evil conduct. Thepeitentiary lfficials took the curicus by surpi:se and staged the' (xecutions at an Carly hour irst:ead of sV necn, as is usual. This is the first time a white man has been executed in this state since 1913, and it :s the first time three men were ever ele( trccuted in the State the same day. The three men wcre e.cnvicted last September 14, 1921, of the murder of William Brazell, a young taxi driver of Columbia. Th(y were first semen cod to dic October 21, but appeals, which wr.)e never ptIfeeted causvd postponement of the (late and mad. resentencing necessary. ."

Kirby was obstinate. Because he was not allowed to make his final siatement to the audience as he stood at the entrance of the death audi terium, he re fused to submit peace fully to the stlrapping into One big chair, and cfficer s were forced to handi him with forc and to (ICpi'e him of the- privilege of making his last statement. Gappins prayed as he sat in the chair. "Stand by mu dear Lord in my last monments on this earth," he began and then fervently he poured out his scul for fcrgiveness, and the hand of the electrician was staytd, as the young man prayed. But the prayer was finally ended when the 1900 volt current was sent hurtling through his body. Warn Yceung .Men. Bcth Gapping and Fox warne: young nen agains hal cmpanions and dIisreard . fr la'.v. Fox was humble. "Good mrnilg, gentleman," he said a he co.red th dcath chamn bo*r. "I have vet v little to say, he mttcrd. "1 held n(.Lhilig against any one. I hope to meet the other boys in heaven.'" Three ministr.:' held serv1iV s wit1h th(: m1i.1n before thcy !eft thcir cells. At 5:30 this Imornhig the captain of the guard read t he. death wailent to the mena. At (1:12 the first man wvas ledI to the (bair r'C'1m, and within fifty minutes the triple e::eeution was cndgd. The trio appeared to have sdept wvell during tl-c raht. A\ light breakfast was given the men earl:y in. thc morn Therec were ne it latives of the meni pre stnt.
