Ht. -Nicola Sd?, i, arid Bartolo meo Vanwtti shor-H a!,,r midnigh. this morning paid the penalty of death exacted by the >tau.- for ,?Urder. Caleatino Madeiroa pit-ceded them to the electric chair b\ a few minutes, the world known radicals following as rapidly as the execution's routine would permit. Maderioa died at 12;OK a. m. for the murder of a Wrentham bank cashier. iSacco and Vanzetti were executed for the murder of a paymaster and his guard at Braintree more than seven years ago. Sacco was dead at 12:19 and Vanzetti a* 12.76. Inside and outside of the high prison walls stood a small army of armed guards. Waiting also were the press wires which informed the world that the longXfight to save the men was at an end. The fight in behalf of the men continued until the last minute. Both Sac co and Vanzetti made brief speeches in the death chamber before they took their seats in the chair, Vanzetti 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 st naps were being adjusted as he said his last words: "Good evening gentlemen! Farewell mother!" Vanzetti entered the death chamber the calmest of all the'three men. Shaking hapds with two of the guards as he came through the door of the electrocution chamber, he walked unassisted to the chair and seated himself. As the guards began the hasty adjustment of straps to his head and body he began a speech. In the broken English that characterized his dramatic plea for "justice" when sentence was passed on him in Dedham April 9, hdAkclared: "I want to tell you I am.innoCant and nevernoraiected with anv cfrtrfe. but some time some sin. I thank you for everything you have done for me. T am innocent of all crime, not only this one, but all. I am an innocent ' man." Then-"*3uHt 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 witnesses entered the death chamber, Madeiros 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 committed the South Braintree murders, was stolid and expressionless. His eyes wandered about the little group of witnesses as he: was" strapped to the chair, but he said nothing. Madeiros came in at 12:02:47. At 12:03:87 the shock was applied. He was pronounced dead at 12.09:35. %Then came Sacco. Apart from the prison pallor the little shoe-worker who has become an international figure showed no sign of his long hunger 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, and, 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 he continued; this time in broken English: "Farewell my wife and child, and all my friends." When the work of the guards waalmost complete he looked about the group of witnesses again and said: "Good evening, gentlemen:" . Then ]ust as the head straps wen being applied, came Sacco's last remark. It was: "Farewell mother!" Hardly had Sacco's body beer placed beside that of Madeiros be hind a screen at the rear of th< chamber than the guards appearcc again in the doorway lending in fron the death cells. This time Vanzett was in their charge. He showed no sign of nervousnes; or hesitation. As he entered th< chamber at the rear and to~the lef of the chair*, he shook hands witl several guards. Seated *in the t hai he launched at once into a brie 1 speech.:;? ^ >_ "1 wifthr txx,?elI-yn^,M he said, "tha I am innocent and never comniittci any crime but some time some si I thank you, Mr. Warden, for all y<v have done for me. ' "I am innocertt of all crime, no only this one .but all. I am an innc cent man." Vantetti paused while the guard *'"r I continued their grim task of attaching the straps and applying the electrodes to his left leg. Then, just before his eyes were coveredj he continued: "I wish to forgive some people for what they now are doing here." Then the current was applied. In the case of Madeiros the amperage was from nine to 11 and the voltage, from 1,400 to 1,900. For Sacco the amperage was from 12 to 15 and the voltage, from 1,800 to 2,000. In Vanzetti's execution the amperage was from 9 to 11' and the voltage, from 1,400 to 1,950. It was explained that the greater voltage in the ease of Sacco was made neccessary by the fact that he was an unusually rugged and vital type. The men were dressed in bluestriped denim shirts, gray trousers, gray socks and black slippers. The left leg of the trouhirs had been split up to the knee t?j permit application of the electrodep! to the flesh. ' In each case examination Uras made by Dr. George Burgess Magrath, medical examiner from Suffolk county*1 Surgeon-general F. P. Williams, Dr. Joseph I.

FRANK KFIKl) DEAD ilaci IkxoU'd Himself I'nselfisltly to t'pbutldlng of llin State (By John K. Aull) Columbia, Aug. 22.?The final de>urture of one who, during his enure life, has devoted himself unlelfishly to the upbuilding of the igrieultural interests of his State, ind whose labors have been fruitful n advancing the economic well-being unl the happiness of those whose location is the tilling of the soil and leeping intact ami secure the foundation upon which rests the State's lit ire superstructure, deserves more ,han passing notice. Such a one was [J. Frank Kfird, for so many years unnected actively with the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical society, for a long period of which u* wus its secretary and guiding land, that when the thousands from very section of South Carolina come H*rc this fall for their annual State 'a:r, they will feel there is something gcking; that there is u familiar pretence that is there now only in spirit; hat however long State fairs may oiiic and go, those of this generation will never feel that these gatherings now, without him, what they were when he was here. He was prominent?very prominent in the affairs of his church; he was a charter member of the Lutheran Synod of the South; he had ierved in the house of representatives and in the State senate from his :ounty of Lexington; his interests were many and varied, and he was Actively identified with the wonderful progress of his county and his State along many lines. Hut it was as secretary of the State fair, where his heart was, that he will be remembered. Soon the waters to be impounded by the gigantic dam to be thrown across the waters of the Saluda river, joining Richland and Ix'xington counties, will overflow % portion of the lunds upon which stood his home; from that home, in which he died on Friday evening, after a short illness the site of the dam could be seen. This development, while welcomed by him as of far-reaching import in* the futher material progress of the State, was also to him a matter of serious concern, in that its building involved the moving of many farmer* from their Farms, and his heart wus set upon keeping these people?his people not far away when they moved to other homes. In the situation which confronts them he was their friend and counselor. He wanted them to remain as close as; they could; he wanted to see them and the products of their farms at' the State fairs of the future, as he1 had seen them in the past; and he did not want to see his State lose this citizenship loyal and true. Mr. Efird's office, as secretary of the State fair, was in Columbia, and he drove over every morning and back | to his home in I^exington county | each afternoon. The open spaces called him, and he was ever attentive ! to their voices. A lover of out-door j sports, he and Governor <Richands, when the governor was a member of the railroad commission and the commission's offices were in the same building as Mr. Kfird's office, found a firm common ground in a comparison of the merits of their fox hounds, and on one occasion Mr. Kfird took his hounds over to Liberty Hill for a .hunt in the governor's, home county of Kershaw. The sport; of kings was dear to them both, and the loss of a hound, which occurred on that occasion, was a very serious -matter. JWben these two ami' thcTr' companions on many a chase were gathered together, it was a goodly company. All his life Mr. Kfird had held the friendship and the esteem of those prominent in the making of the State and the guiding of her destines? for he was one of them, a congenial, spirit with them, and among them he was not the least. The last annual premium list' for the State fair which will be issued under his guidance is off the press; the State fair which have known him long shall know him, except in spirit and in the remembrance, no more forever, but tbe work which he did and the results which he accomplished in the agricultural development of South Carolina are permanently Interwoven, in threads which will endure, in the lasting fabric of the State'H wellbeing.
