I SAMUEL N. HYDE HAS | PAID DEATH PENALTY ANDERSON MAN ELECTROCUTED AT PENITENTIARY. Left Body to Students of au Atlanta Medical College?No Fear Shown at the Last Moment, Columbia State. | Samuel X. Hyde, the Anderson counI . ty man who was convicted more than m #a year ago of killing his wife, was electrocuted at 12.0S yesterday at the State penitentiary. Hyde went to the B chair calmly, though somewhat spas^ W %-modic at moment of electrocution. There were no mishaps. Hyde said that i he was sorry for the deed and believed | that his mind was out of place at the I time. Dr. Vines, pastor of the First I Baptist church of Anderson, was Y.ith Hyde during the morning, preparing the condemned man to meet death. ' The man's bruther was with him also. The body was taken in charge by Mr. Tolley, the Anderson undertaker and shipped to Anderson at 1 o'clock. Hyde admitted guilt from the beginning. Sheriff \V. B. King, Deputy Sherff Van B. Martin, Chief of Police A. * Fortune, Rev. John F. Vines, D D., pastor of the First Baptist church, ----1 ^ T-ll ,1 ana tatJUi'gt? 1U. lunej', nil uuuc? ian.ci i came here yesterday. King, Martin j and Fortune came as witnesses to the | execution while Dr. Vines came In re-; sponse to a request from the condemned man. Before Hyde was removed from the Anderson county jail Dr. Vines visited him frequently and during the period of these visits Hyde professed conversion and was baptiz[ ed in the church. Hyde's body will \ * be embalmed and ^hipped to Atlanta, Ga., consigned to two students of a collese to whom Hyde has ft executed proper deeds for the body. PP. It will be dissected for medical rePT search. Sheriff King brought with I him a letter from George Hyde, father r of the condemned man, relinquishing any claim he might have on the body. It is Mr. Hyde's wish that his son's deed be duly executed. Story of Crime. Sam Hyde's crime is the most atro- J cious in the criminal annals of An- j derson county. Because of alleged I mistreatment of his young wife Will- j 1 iam Beasley, her father, took her j away from her husband. Hyde stood | the separation for several weeks, at i +>?? on/^ r?f whi/>h timp hp hftfiaffifi CUU Vi II U4VM VAMAV ? w _ desperate. According to his own state-1 ments, made immediately after the double homicide, he decided to kill his wife if he was not allowed to live with her. Hyde planned with precision the murder. He boarded a street car and got off in the Orr mill \ village at a point near the Beasley home. He found lights still burning in the house, so passed on by. After ^ passing and repassing the house several times he found that the lights had been extinguished and that the family had retired. Hyde went to the rear of the house He took off his shoes and hat and; placed them on the back porch. He; then placed a chair beneath a win- { dow and prized it open. After climb- I ' ing through the window Hyde went; through rhe hall and stopped at the ' door of the room occupied by his j wife. He found the door unlocked, j Ke pushed it open quietly and walked, to the table where a lamp was burn- | ing dimly. He turned up the wick, illuminating the entire room. Mrs. j Hyde, who occupied a bed with her j younger sister, was awakened and she sat up in bed, crying out to Hyde askk ing him what he meant by coming; , there. According to Hyde's own ac-j I count of the tragedy he replied that ! I he had come to kill her, whereupon i | he raised his pistol and began firing! The first bullet knocked her back | into a lymg position. He kept up the fire and two other bullets took ef- i - 1 1^- Hnllof i feet m Airs, nyues uuu.>. took effect in the body of Miss Willie! Beasley, liis sister-in-law, but from the wound she recovered several j weeks later. So close was Hyde to tfte bed when he shot, the fire in the ex-, plosion of the pistol caused the bed i clothes to burn. These clothes were gathered up and thrown out of the < house where they were completely I consumed. Shot Father-in-law. After leaning over Mrs. Hyde's body to ascertain whether the bullets had been fatal Hyde said he turned to go: out cf the-door. In the meantime Mr.' Beasley, Mrs. Hyde's father, had been ; awakened by the pistol shots and he rp.anhed the hail as Hyde was coming out of the door. Mr. Beasley ?;appled with Hyde. Hyde's pistol was unloaded. Mr. Beasley succeeded in get-; ? ting behind Hyde and attempted to pin his arms down. Hyde reached in his pocket, found a cartridge, plactd it in the pistol and fired under his. t left arm, hitting Mr. Beasley in the ' t left breast. The builot pen-'.rated the heart, and Mr. Eeasley iV II : j the floor dead. Hyde escaped out <A th1 l,o. ?o by the window he n.'iil prize j open He ran to a corn field .not far an iy and some friend joined him. Hyd* told this friend to hunt a telephone an l tell the sheriff what he had done. The friend departed, but before 1)l* had gone fir Hyde heard a tearv coming down the road. He recognized th* horse as being Sheriff King's, a .>]' I he ran out in the road and hailed the sheriff, telling him that he was the man wanted. Sheriff King then returned with Hyde to the jail. When arraigned for trial Hyde entered a plea of guilty of murder. The' plea was not accepted and the court appointed Leon L. Rice to defeud the; prisoner. The plea of monomania was j - : f3.dv3.nced. H.yce was uuuwticu, auu was sentenced to hang in October of last year. An appeal was made to the j supreme court and that tribunal affirmed the judgment of the lower: court.

Columbia, September 25.?There is more than usual interest in the new Geueral Assembly and therefore the list of members of both senate and house by counties has been prepared for The News and Courier. The 6e nate is composed of 44 members, half of whom are holdovers, the term of a senator being four years, and the | house has a membership of 124, being apportioned among counties according to population. The majority of the upper house will be familiar faces. As stated half of the-senate, 22, are holdovers, and in addition several whose terms expired j were re-elected. These are Black, of! Bafnburg, Christensen, of Beaufort, [ Johnstone, of Newberry, Lide, of Orangeburg, Carlisle, of Spartanburg. Members of the house last year who were elected to the senate this year include John F. Williams, of Aiken, [ rr' tr ITai-nYt ?r> r\f oTTMrfioIrl W T-T i JL . JLJU* LfJL UA. ** 14VAU) n . XA. v | of Greenville, J. E. > Beamguard, of | York. Senator elect W. H. Sharpe, of j Lexington, has served in the upper body before, and in addition some of the other new members of the senate have seen service in the house in for- \ mer years. Many new faces will be seen in thei lower house although a good percentage of that body served last year and former years. However, many of themwill be new in legislative experience. Conscpicuous among the leaders of the last house who were not returned is H. k. Osborne, of fepartanburg, T. F. McDow, of York, and others, W. F. Stevenson, one of the leaders of the last house, was returned and R. S. Whaley, of Charleston, a former! speaker, is also a member of the new j house. How they will Organize. Both houses will have to effect or- i ganization. Lieutenant Governor C. A. Smith, by virtue of his office is the presiding officer of the senate, but that body will have to select a president pro tem, clerk, sergeant-at-arms and other attaches. Senator F. H. Weston, of Richland, has been prominently mentioned for president pro tem, as has Senator Alan Johnstone, of Newberry, one of the most powerful leaders of the upper house who was re-elected by an overwhelming vote over his opponent in Newberry county. Clerk M. M. Mann and Sergeant-atarms J. F. Schumpert are both candi- j dares for re-election and no opposition j has appeared to them. A. M. Lump Kin, assistant cierK 01 me last senate,; is a member of the house and his i place will have to be filled. For this position Mr. Miller, clerk of the last finance commiti has been mentioned. The house will be called to order by James A. Hoyt, the clerk, who is a candidate for re-election. The first business will be the election of a speaker and M. L. Smith, speaker last year, will be put forward for that posi- j tion again. Mention has been made of! R. S. Whaley, at one time speaker of; the house, as a possible candidate, | and it has also been rumored that; Geo. R. Rembert will be placed in i nomination ^or that position. Xo opposition has developed to James a. i Hcyt for clerk, and J. S. Wilson for sergeant-at-arms. The general assembly will meet for ; their first session ol the second Tues-, day in January, 1912.
