Ill Death He Serves.
Under this heading the Atlanta
Constitution of recent date takes the
promising career of Richard Champion
De&aussure as the subject of an
jtditorial tribute to one whose passing
so early in life brings sorrow to
many Jn this city. Champ DeSaussure
was the son of a former Camden
lady and often visited here where he
had numbers of relatives and friends
and these will keenly appreciate the
fitting words of The Constitution:
"The tragic death, in the waters at
Lakemont, of young Richard Champion
LoKau*?uic, Jr., of Atlanta,
shocks a large circle of his personal
friends, arid of the friends of a distinguished
family that goes back to
colpnial days in its outstanding prominence
in the* business and cultural
life of this section.
"Just 22 years of age, he had graduated
with high honors in the Boys1
high school of Atlanta and then with
even higher honors in the Georgia
School of Technology. He had entered
actively and earnestly into business,
with the road ahead of him full
of promise. ...
"His character was without a blemish,
his dispoaition pregnant with
sunshine and hope, his companionship
elevating, and his influence- upon
his associates uplifting and strengthening.
"Even though such a life, in a span
of scarcely more than two scores of,
yeans, found its end all too soon and;
before the fruits of material accom-!
plishment could hkve ripened young
Champ DeSaussure left an enduring
monument in the example set by an
irreproachable career that impressed
itself upon everyone who knew him.
"He lived to love and to serve. He
was never happier than when doing
something for others^ His ever beaming
countenance and his characteristic
smite radiated sunshine. He Was
the idol of his home and a constant |
joy to his friends. I
"The inspiration of such a life be-j
comes a memorial more lasting thanj
that left by many a man past his I
three score and ten and whom the
world terms 'great,' for the heartening
virility and the strengthening
character of such a life will continue
to serve, and to build and to elevate
others who were fortunate enough to
be thrown within the sphere of so
sweet an influence."

DEATH PENALTY REVIVED
Cuban la (iarroU4 For Murder ot
Hi* Aunt
Santiago De Cuba, July 12.?The
death penalty in Cuba was revived
after a lapee of 20 years when early
today Salvador Aguilera wm garroted
for the murder of his aunt,
Caridad Suarez, in Sagua de Tanamo.
Aguilera became hysterical and
was given restoratives; he then
walked unassisted from the death cell
to the garrote, accompanied J&y
guards and his spiritual advisor.
The condemned man's arms and
legs were tied by the official executioner,
Paula' Romero, and his assistant,
Frank Davis, a Savannah, Ga.,
negro veteran of the battle of San
Juan Hill in 1?98, serving a two year
sentence for robbery.
Aguilera yesterday expressed disapproval
of Davis* action in volunteering
as assistant executioner, the
two having been confined in* the same
jail for over a year.
As the garrote was placed about
his neck Aguilera saUM
"He who goes to death at this moment
is not a criminal. He is Citizen
Salvador Aguilera, innocent of the
crime for which he has been condemned."
Paulo Romero signaled to the official
witnesses and the condemned
man's spiritual adviser, the only
persons who actually saw the execution,
that all preparations had been
made. The executioner then leaned
over Aguilera's shoulder and asked:
"Dost thou pardon me?"
The condemned man, with a slight
smile on his'lips, replied in a low
clear voice: "I pardon thee, and may
God also pardon thee!"
The executioner pressed the lever
of the garrote and shortly the attending
physicians pronounced life extinct.?
'"v . " - ??
Paula Romero was on the verge of
hysterics immediately after the execution,
but Davis was unaffected.
The prison sentences of both will be
shortened a* a reward. TP
, The body of Aguilera was left in.!
the garrote for the customary four
hours and buried this afternoon by
his father and mother. Romero had
made the coffin.
