Two Youths Put To
Death In Chair
Chicago, Feb. 20.?-The execution
of two youthe in their teena early today
introduced the electric chair to
Cook county, as the legal death device
supplanting hanging.
Anthony Grecco and Chffclss Walz
died withfn ten minutes of each other
hortly after midnight for the murder
of Patrolman Arthur Ksau during a
drug store holdup last April.
1 he executions were carried out
with precision and were completed
within 20 minutes after Grecco, the
first to die, had been led into the
death chamber, blindfolded, by two
Grecco, who was 19, was
silent throughout the proceedings, but
.Walz, a year younger, turned to one
of the guards as he walked toward
the chair and mumbled:- '
> "Never mifd?^ am all right."
Aa he was strapped into the chair
he whispered: "Good bye, folks."
Walz, who had manifested an air
of bravado throughout the trial,, and
after his conviction, maintained his
nonchalance to the end. At one time,
he said he gueBsed he would go to
sleep and leave a call for 12:01. He
and Grecco played cards with two of
their guards during the evening and
listened to a portable phonograph
which had been placed in ^heir' cell.
Walz smoked one cigarette after
, another and was smoking as he was
led down from his cell to the chair.
He was visited by his father and
brother late in the afternoon.

Ends In Mistrial
Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 22.?Walter
Liggett, 29-year-old Nashville grain
dealer, heard a fatigued jury report
this afternoon that it was in hopeless
disagreement over his trial on a
charge of murdering Turney Cunningham
and that body dismissed, and his
case called a mistrial. A few minutes
later he learned the state would
try again to convict him of first degree
murder. About the same time
he was informed that a husband had
named him as co-respondent in a divorce
cross-bill. Liggett was indicted
after he shot and killed Cunningham,
manager of a hotel, here, last October
in an aftermath of a dispute
concerning Cunningham's wife.

Berlln.?Althounb stror.3 f?ol!hg
agulust punisment exists in
(lefiiian Intellectual circles, the newly
projected pcuul code contains no ubo
iltlon clause and alms merely at
establishing a uul/orui process of execution.
The law now In force decrees that
the death penalty lu the reich must
be Inflicted by meuus of beheading
but In purta of Germany dilTcrent
methods of decapitation, based ou ancient
local usage, are still employed
Iu the Ithlne province, Hanover, Hamburg,
Bavaria and Saxony, a more or
less modem form of the guillotine Is
In use. hut In" Mecklenburg, Auhult,
Ileus* and Lippe tile executioner, still
performs his grim > otttce with the
"sword of Justice." In Prussia proper
the sword was replaced about 100
years ago by the ax.
A few weeks > ago, when Kari
boetteher wus executed by the ax In
Berlin for a double murder, a new
ordinance first came Into force which
permitted the executioner to perform
Ills ollice In a dark suit, instead of
In the hitherto obligatory black swallow-tail
coat, with choker, top bat
! and white gloves.
Another old custom which may soon
be done aw. y with Is the grunting of
a prisoner's last wish. '.There Is nothing
in the German penal code to cstah
"fish a prisoner's right to this, ?but In
practice It Is generally granted "Unless
It Is senseless or extruvngont. One
prisoner asked to "learn to play the
piano" before being put to death.
How ancient Is the custom of letting
the prisoner choose his "last
meal" may be seen from the fart that
in a Breslcu museum there is a medieval
sword of justice with u special
pocket in the scabbard for a knife
and fork, which the person under
sentence of death was permitted to
use on the eve of execution.
.Chromite Wins Place
as Lining for Furnace
Washington.?Although the Uulted
States uses great quantities of mugnesite,
which makes un excellent furnace
lining but otherwise Is practically
useless, its price has gone sohigh
In recent years that chromite-Is
being Imported from South Africa.
India and New Caledonia as a substitute.
The Imported ore contains chromium,
the metal which renders steel rustproof
when used as an alloy and pro;
vldes an extremely hard weuring surface
for moving parts in machinery
when applied as plating. Just why
this rather soft metal produces such'
a hard surface has not been determined,
but some experts ure inclined
to belleve that the chemical action of
the plating process serves to deposit
It from solution as a hydride.
ff
While tests have shown magnesite
to he superior for lining steel furnaces,
the degree of difference is
slight and the economic reasons provide
the only apparent explanation for
the use of chromite. The price of
magnesite, which is mined near Colville,
Wash., and In California, has
advanced since 1013 from less than
$17 a ton to more than $30. ?n the
meantime, t|ie cost of chromite, having
declined from high war prices, Is
now $22 to $24 a ton, as compared
with about $15 before the war.
