WAR HERO BURIED
Man With Fine War Record Died
Shortly After Being I'ardvned
Richmond, Sept. :'i. Full military
honors were paid today to Kenneth
I1 red Thomas, World War hero who,
hastened back from overseas to pay
a debt he owed society for committing
bigamy, Thomas died at a local hoa- t
pit ill several days ago, a free man.. 1
He was pardoned by Governor K. Lee
Ti'inkle, a few days previously when
it was pointed out to the executive
that his war-wracked body had been
so decimated by confinement in pris
on walls that death was only a mat
ter of days. Thomas dreaded dying a
prisoner, fearing his body would be
turned over to a medical college for.'
dissection. Instead of this, he will ;
sleep in Legion Square in RivervieW
cemetery here. ? i
Thomas' record reads like fiction.
He went to France in October, 1914,'
and enlisted in the foreign legion, to
be discharged from the Fench avia
tion corps in the following February
because of injuries. He enlisted in
?the British royal flying corps in
March, was commissioned lieutenant
within a month and after conspicuous
service along the battle fronts was
promoted t^o captain. Thomas was
wounded in action in 1916 and was
?confined in a hospital overseas until
May, 1917. He was invalided to
Canada and after a time was detain
ed to the aerodome at Toronto. In
July he was sent to Fort Worth,
Texas, to assist in training American
airmen and in January, 1918, was
ordered to report again for duty over
seas. He claimed to have missed his
boat at New York.
Then began the escapade that led
to his violating the marriage laws.
He and several officers went on a
lark that started at New York and
wound up at Norfolk with a party
at a hotel , at which several women
were present. Three days later
Thomas awoke to find he had mar
ried one of the women. He already
had a wife living in Canada. He -was
sentenced to five years' imprison
ment, but escaped after several
months and "unlisted at Philadelphia
in a British machine gun outfit. He
was sent overseas immediately and
in October he wrote Governor West
moreland Davis that he would re
turn and finish his sentence as soon J
as the war was over. Thomas was '
again wounded, decorated with the
British Distinguished Service Medal
and after another long stay in a hos
pital, wtt* discharged from the mili
tary service. He surrendered to the
Canadian authorities on September
IK, iv?22, laying he was wanted here
as a fugitive from justice. He was
returned to prison and often express
od the dcsirq to live long enough to
pay the state all he owed. His one
desire was to be free to demonstrate
he did not violate the law intention
ally. Several efforts were made to
have him pardoned but to no avail.
The funeral services were conduct
ed today by the chaplains of the five
local posts of the American Legion.
Uniformed men acted as pallbearers
and "taps" was sounded by comrades
in arms who declared Thomas died
as gamely as he had lived.
A man may legally spank his wife
under certain .circumstances, , in
Georgia, according to a ruling made
by the superior court of that state.

HISTORIC MARKKRS
To Br Placed on Bridge* So Totirlstv
May Learn
Columbia, Sept. 2G:-r-Pointing out .
of Jill historical spots along state'
highways in South Carolina l>y appro- )
print ?? signs has been determined
upon by Samuel McOowan, chief high- J
way commissioner, the work to be'
done by Robert it. Thomas, who has
been serving as engineer in charge of
records and editor of The Highway
Bulletin, co-operating with A. S. Sal
ley, Jr., secretary of the South Caro
lina Historical commission.
Together with the placing of ap
propriate signs-constructed of inex
pensive material rather than costly
tablet*- Mr. Thomas will have charge
of the placing at the end of bridges
the nanUvs of the streams traversed.
Mr. McOowan's decision to indicate
the historical spots came as a result
of a trip to Charleston, he having
returned yesterday, during which he
noticed a Francis Marion cannon
mounted, on the rail of a bridge over
Four Hole swamp.
In a memorandum to Mr. Thomas
prepared yesterday the commissioner
stated: "On my way to Charleston a
couple of days ago, I noticed the
Revolutionary cannon mounted on the
rail of the bridge over Four Hole
swamp and my attention was called
to the fact that, while it was very
appropriate to have the gun there,
nine people out of ten who saw it
would simply wonder what it was do
ing there and not for a moment
realize its great historical Value..
"Which in turn suggested to me
that it. would be a mighty good thing
for us to put some kind of marker
at each end of the bridge over our
various rivers and particularly to
point out by some brief sign all his
torical spots along our various high
ways.
"Of course it will not. be possible
j to mark these places in a way that
j we would iike to because that would
cost entirely too much money; but 1
think that at a nominal expense we
could at least make a start, i ac
cordingly request that you please get
in communication at your earliest
convenience with A. S. Salley, Jr.,
secretary, South Carolina Historical
commission, for the- purpose of get
ting this project under way as soon
as we can.
"Pursuant thereto, your connection
with the state highway department
will not be discontinued as originally
planned."
OFFICIAL K1LLEK QUITS
llulbert Hud Sent One Hundred and
Forty (u Their Death
New York. ? John Hulbert, Sinn
Sin^ executioner, who is said never
to have given an interview, yesterday
let one fact become known. It was
that Hulbert, who has turned on the
electric current that has sent 140
slayers out of life, will retire when
this year's work is dont>.
Rivaling concert stars, llulbert has
earned as high as $lf>0 for an. eve
ning's work. He received that sum i
for executing Morris and Joseph'
Diamond and John Farina a few
months ago. But there are slack
years. la 1010, Hulbert officiated
in the death house only twice. Then
he received only $50 for eaeh execu
tion. The per capita fee has "climbed
from $f?0, when he began in 1014,
to $150. llulbcrt's bill in 1022 was
$2,050. That was added to his salary
of $1,000 as electrician at Auburn
prison.
Once llulbert 'fainted at the execu
tioner's switch. They propped him
up and switched on the current. Once
a former helper at Auburn prison
came and sat down in his chair as
calmly as a man coming for a shave
and said:
"John, I'm going over the top. It's
a pleasure to die. l)o a good job,
John!"
And John did.0
Who will succeed Hulbert? May
be "Guy Ija Hook, who two years' ago
wrote to the State Prison Commission
from Water tow'u'.
"What are the chances for me Kct
ting the job of official killer at Sing
Sing?"
