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

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.

! The State Convention.
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. Gov. Cole L.
