"Stand by lue. dear Lord.

But the -pray er wa? finally ended when the 1900 volt current was *er.t hurtling through bi? body. Both (rappins and Fox warned young mr-n against bad companions trnd disregard for law.

One j minute later Kirby entered the death chamber, walking behind Captain Ro N irts. In two minutes he was strap ped to the chair. Before- being strap* ped Jn Kirby wanted to make a state ment. standing before - the witnesses, hut he was refused, this being always allowed after tl^e criminal enter* the Chair. When Kirby** right arm was strap ped to the ebair, hi* left arm being amputated some year* ago, the man b^mn to nervously tap the arm of the big oaken chair with bio finders and continued thin until the two body strap* -were adjusted. He forced him self forward Jn tbe chair, making It ha ixl for the officers to properly ad just the straps. He then told the of ficers that right arm was too tight. ai>d tbat they should loosen it, making some remarks about a peculiar feeling that he alway? had in that arm, A few moment* later he dipped his arm from the Ktrop. The officers again adjusted the strap, and Kirby made a second attempt to get hi* arm from the strap. An assistant then forcible held the hand against tbe oaken arm of the big i- hair. Kirby repeatedly / resisted peaceful efforts to baTe him<?e)f properly ad justed in the chair, and seeing bis ef forts, to resist authority, the officers took the situation forcibly in hand and preemptorUy strapped him down, depriving him then of the privilege of making hi* final statement. With a rush he was strapped tight in the chair and the current was turned on. The first Voltage entered his body at | 6:16. The switch, was held for one minute. The body was examined, and the doctors requested another shock. The 1W0 volts were again sent through bl? body, and five minutes after the first shock the. leader of the murder gang was declared dead. It took fen amperes to kill Kirby. Kirby's body was braught out and stretched on the table" in the ante room. where the bodies are always s'tra<pp^d. that the limbs may become straight, after the effects of the elec tric shock. Tbe witnesses were then escorted to the fre?h air and a new audience was u?hored iu. In the lit* tie, auditorium were a half hundred faces waiting to gaze for the last time on the living form of young .Te^n Cappins. With tears in his eyes, the you'jg man <<f t)lc tr)-0 (j)0 ?hamber. and was strapped to the chair, at 6 Superintendent .binders then a*k"d li i ni if he had a statement to make.

I bear no malice for any one: 1 have nothing to .say against the other boys, and T hope to meet them all in heaven." At 6 :o0. the witch was thrown and the physicians- had to call for a second shoe.k. to make sure that the bftj man was dead. In four minutes and seven ^?,-<-?nds the "dead"' signal was given. Three budies^wore strapped to three vej?arate tables in the ante-death f hatnl>er of the death c-ell.v Three lives had passed out. in expiation of the mo>t deadly crime the state has known in years. To dishonored graves were carried three murderer*, and to the peorple of the state a lesson Is taught ; to the young manhood of the state sounded a warning, by the clanging bell on the penitentiary 'Wall, a warning against violation of Ta'w. The just and iron hand of the taw has closed, as it will clo.se again, on him who thrown the laws of man and of <lod to the winds.
