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. McLaughlin, prison
hhysician, and two physicians
who were present as guests of the

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.
Child Died Front Drinking Kerosene
Kdgemoor, Aug. 10.?Harry McAllister,
Jr., 18-months-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry McAllister, of
Gastonia, died here today at the home
of his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. J.
N. Gastog, from the effects of kerosene
which he drank several days
ago.
It is reported from Pendlctorf, Ore
gon, that the younger generation of
Indians are more interested in the
modern dances and jazz music than
in the old tribal dances.
