AT ONION STATION
Irv'de and outside of the high pris-
on wall stood a small army of guards.
Vi siting also were the press wires
wh'vh informed the world that the
long fight to save the men was at an
eni.
j The fight in behalf of the men con
tinued until the last minute.
Both Sacco and Vanzetti made brief
speeches in the death chamber before
they took their seats in the chair, Van
zetti protesting his innocence to the
last. %
Sacco, pale but steady, shouted in
Italian: “Long live Anarchy,” as he
sat down in the chair.
Then in broken English he went on:
“Farewell my wife and child and all
my friends.”
The straps were being adjusted as
he said his last words: “Good even
ing, gentlemen. Farewell, mother.”
Vanzetti entered the death chamber
the calmest of all the three men. Shak
ing hands with two of the guards as
he came through the door of the elec
trocution chamber, he walked unassist
ed to the chair and seated himself.
As the guards began the hasty ad
justment of straps to his head and
body he began a speech.
In the broken English that charac
terized his dramatic plea for "justice”
when sentence was passed on him in
“I
_ , _ _ __ wi want to tell you I am innocent and
Fresh Ground Lorn Meai. we ai- never eonn ected with any crime, but

Feeds that we sell. j everything you have done for me. I
Come to see US—inspect our » m innocent of jl crime not ooljtof
. . , this one but all. I am an innocent
place. A welcome awaits you. man .*•
Then just as the guards slipped the
straps and head cap in place, cutting
off further speech, he shouted: “I
wish to forgive some people for what
they are now doing to me.”
A moment after the official witness
es entered the death chamber, Madei
ros was led in between two guards.
The youth, who had won five respites
because of his confession that a gang
with which he was connected commit
ted the South Braintree murders, was
stolid and expressionless.
His eyes wandered about th^ little
group of witnesses as he was strap
ped to the chair, but he said nothing.
12:03:37 the shock was applied. He
was pronounced dead at 12:09:35.
Madeiros came in at 12:02:47. At
Then came Sacco. Apart from the
prison pallor, the little shoe worker
ed denim shirts,, gray trousers, gray
sicks and black slippers.
The left leg of the trousers had been
split up to the knee to permit appli
cation of the electrodes to the flesh.
In each case exertion was made by
Dr. George Burgess Magrath. medical
examiner from Suffolk county. Sur
geon General F. P. Williams, Dr. Jo
seph I. McLaughlin, prison physician,
guests of the warden. These were Doc-
and two physicians were present as
tors Howard A. Lothrop of Boston,
and William Otis Faxon, Dedham jail
physician.
The other official witnesses were
Warden William Hendry, Deputy War
den James Hogsett, Sheriff Samuel
Capen of Norfolk county, and W. E.
Playfare of the Associated Press.
The bodies were removed from the
death chamber shortly after the exe
cution and taken to the North Grove
street mortuary, where an autopsy
was performed by Dr. Magrath. Ar
rangements were made last night by
Gardner Jackson, representing the
Sacco-Vanzetti defence committee, to
claim the bodies later on behalf of the
relatives.

gure showed no sign of his long hun
ger strike. He walked erect between
the guards, his eyes flashing brightly
about the group in the death chamber
as he came. He sat down in the chair
tihd as the guards began to attach the
straps he shouted in a voice that rang
strangely through the little white
room: “Viva I’anarchia!” (Long live
anarchy). Almost without pause lie
continued, this time in broken English:
“Farewell, my wife and child and all
my friends.”
When the work of the guards was
almost complete he looked about the
;group of witnesses again and said:
“Good evening, gentlemen.”
Then just as the head straps were
being applied came Sacco’s last re
mark. It was “Farewell, mother.”
Hardly had Sacco’s body been plac-
!ed behind a screen at the rear of the
chamber than the guards appeared
again in the doorway leading in from
the death cells. This time Vanzetti
was in their charge.
•He showed no sign of nervousness
or hesitation. As he entered the cham
ber at the rear and to the left of the
chair he shook hands with several
guards. Seated in the chair, he
launched at once into a brief speech.
“ I wish to tell you,” he said, “that
I am innocent and never committed
any crime, but sometimes some sin.
I thank you, Mr. Warden, for all you
have done for me.
“I am innocent of all crime, not
only this one, but all. I am an inno
cent man.”
Vanzetti paused while the guards
continued their grim task of attach
ing the electrodes to his leg. Then,
just before his eyes were covered, he
continued. “I wish to forgive some
people for what they now are doing
to me.”
Then the current was applied.
In the case of Madeiros the amper
age was from nine to eleven, and the
voltage from 1,499 to 1,900/
For Sacco the amperage was from
12 to 15 and the voltage frpixLJAOO to
2,000. In Vanzetti’s execution the am
perage was from nine to eleven, the
voltage from 1,400 to 1,950.
It was explained that the greater
voltage in the case of Sacco was made
necessary by the fact that he was an
unusually ragged and vital type.

Clemson Expert To Discuss Care of
Cream In Shipping
R. E. Waters, dairy specialist, Clem
son college,-will be in the county on
Friday, August 19, for the purpose of
discussing care of cream. Three meet
ings will be held under the direction
of the county agent:
Laurens court house, at 10 o’clock'
Harris’ store at 2:30, Youngs sec
tion.
Greenpond school house, 4:30.
Those who are^ interested in dairy
ing are urged to be present. I feel
that those who are using a dairy cow
are the ones who are passing through
the depression with least resistance.
Boll Weevil Situation
A number of reports are coming in
to my office concerning the boll wee
vil. I find within the last ten days our
infestation has increased.^ Traveling
rather extensively, I do not find any
thing serious throughout the county
just yet, although there are spots
where dusting is justified, and a few
farmers are dusting no.w. Inspecting a
large majority of the fields I find that
dry weather, wet plowing, insuffici
ent amount of fertilizer and wet
weather has been our biggest loss. Of
course with wet weather goes the
grass crop damage. I do not believe
the county has over five per cent wee
vil infestation. I recommend that
wherever ten per cent infestation oc
curs that a farmer use calcuim arse
nate dust, at the rate of ten to twelve
pounds per Acre, four to five days
apart, and at least two or three dust
ings. With the prospect of a crop it
would seem to me unwise for a farmer
to run the risk of weevil damage sim
ply by not using a few dollars’ tforth
of calcium arsenate. I am of the opin
ion that if the weevil infestation is
held from ten to Fifteen per cent for
the next three weeks, and the season
favorable, we are bound •for a good
cotton crop. If you are in doubt as to
whether or not you should use dust I
shall be glad to visit your farm and
make an estimation. ;
Four H Club Boys to Clemson
On the 25th of August there will be
between 45 and 50 boys who will at
tend the Four H club encampment at
Clemson college. These boys are farm
boys of Laurens county, who are tak
ing project work under the supervision
of the county agent. These boys will
be carried to and from the college in
school busses, under the supervision
of the county agent. They will return
home on the afternoon of August 27.
The last day will be visitors’ day, to
which an invitation4s sent to all the
parents to visit Clemson that day.
Farmers’ Week
Most of the farmers of Laurens
county have received from this office
literature concerning Farmers’ Week
at Clemson college on August 29 to
September 3. A number of farmers
have been to this office, stating that
they are making plans to attend
Farmers’ Webk. This being the first
Farmers’ Week Clemson college has
eveijield I am sure that it is to your
interest to attend it.
Fall Garden
I insist that each farmer begin now
for his fall and winter garden. He may
plant at this time beans, English peas,
cabbage, collards, radish, carrots, kale,
spinach, and parsley. Cuttings from
tomato vines may also be planted at
this time. These will produce green to
matoes by frost time, of which the
vines may be pulled then and hung
under a shelter for ripening of toma
toes.
