Columbia, July 14:?For the murder on May 18 lot Aaron Campbell, his son-in-law,and J H Campbell,the S-13-a father of Aaron, in Lee county, M L Garrett, who had served terms on the chaingang on his county and in ? ^ the State penitentiary, was this d morning electrocuted at the State jL prison in the presence of some thirI v ty-five witnesses. In the crowd were several citizens of the neighborhood (*" where the crimes were committed, brother of Aaron Campbell was sent to witness the legal atonet for the deed prompted by jealrage, which resulted in death to rother and father. .rrett, who, during the period i confinement at the penitentiaas apparently faced death with greatest fear, this morning walkito the .death chamber and satin chair with splendid composure, nough it was evident in the low tones that he used that he felt deep ly the awful seriousness of the moment. His last request was: "Kill me quick and don't nurt me any [Tr more than you can help,." wf f At 11:30 the witnesses to the elec\ trocution gathered ijrthe death house and two minutes later the doomed man was led into the room. He was neatly dressed and limped painfully on one leg, the result of an old j injury. The death warrant had ear- j * lier been read. His trousers were ripped to the knee to allow the clamp1 \ *"*' to be placed around his leg, and all, that remained to be done was to turn the switch which sends the powerful current through the body of the condemned. tt by ta M : r^t || efere | ^ H aAtt&i MvccmJL atic H lyifH4ccn tegin Jo-ifiAire l CtedctobL S Jucntpt/i && ?/wot JPtM* Bj e%. 7 v/lo6, ?&nudfi/ul&. m I g ^JjulxuAJL jn 1,1 MmC HEVASf I Just plain, common hoi every man that Franklin | as sure as two and two mi I not insult you, nor can Wj ? ? j? ? i k?. bBSOniei/Jlii^ 1IJ iiicumiA^ Wi in the banktnot only from a * your own extravagance. , Do YOUR banl I We Pay 4 per cent intert f m-i ?

"Don't hurt mp any more than Dossible." he began and told of having talked to the preachers. "I've prayed all I could," he said, but expressed no belief that he would be saved. He asked that his body be sent to Sumter for burial and ended his brief farewell by repeating his request that he be quickly killed. State Electrician T Q Boozer adjusted the helmet of copper and at 11 :H7 o'clock gave the signal to Guard J C Robbins to turn the switch that sent 1,900 volts of electricity through Garrett's body. At the end of a minute the current was turned off and an examination of the body by physicians followed. Death was pronounced by Dr J T Jennings at 11:41. Garrett's deed was prompted by a ^ i?UotraH fm* thp man ntrrcc jcaiuuojr. uauv?... who married his daughter caused him to go to her home and the double killing resulted. Garrett then forced his daughter to accompany him to the woods nearby, where he stayed in hiding for several days, i Blood-hounds from the penitentiary trailed the man and finally led to his place of hiding, where he was captured without blood-shed. blease's comment. Henderson ville, July 14: ? "It seems that M L Garrett, who was electrocuted in Columbia today, had not a friend in the world," said Governor Blease. The Governor said that no living soul had spoken a word in behalf of Garrett. The only let| ter Governor Blease received in reference to Garrett was one asking permission to witness the electrocution.

The trip is generally considered too long to be taken in e] one day by automobilists, but this party made it in one day, driving ni hard all day long, and only stopping P once to get gasoline and 'once for lunch? The trip was made by way of Greenville, Laurens and Newberry, where the roads were found in good CI condition. e?
