NEGRO DIES IN CHAIR FOR
SLAYING CHARLESTON OFFICER
Columbia, April 29.?A mumbled
prayer on his Hps, Benjamin Rivers,
46-year old Charleston negro, paid
with his life in the electric chair this
morning tor the slaying of Detective
Purse A. Wansley July 14, 1936.
Stato penitentiary officials said the
actual execution was the shortest on
record, only two minutes and 56 seconds
elapsing from the time the current
was shot through River's body
by State Electrician Sam B. Cannon
until Dr. L. H. Jennings pronounced
him dead.
"Tell mother and father 1 will
meet them in Heaven," Rivers told a
guard just before he was led from his
cell in death row to execution chamber.
His last quarter hour was spent'
singing hymns.
Rivers was convicted September 26,
1936, and sentenced to death by .circuit
Judge M. M. Mann. An appeal
to the supreme court failed. The
state pardons board had a plea for
clemency for the condemned man under
consideration since Tuesday but
made no recommendation.
Detective Wansley was killed in
Charleston when he accosted Rivers
and copanion, Isiah Brown, who had
been reported as being involved in a
quarrel. Brown, named as an accomplice,
is now serving a life sentence.

meaning of the memorial poppy," said
Mra. Goodale. "The poppy, which 1
bloomed so strikingly among the 1
trenches and battle graves in Prance 1

the dead during the war. Kver since I
the war it has been worn In all English-speaking
countries annually as an

I
gave their lives In the conflict. |
"The little red flower takes added
significance from the fact that It is
made 6y the war disabled, and that
It contributes to the welfare of the
disabled men and the dependent families
of veterans. Everyone who wears
a poppy on Poppy Day, not only Is
showing remembrance and honor for
the men who died In the war, but Is
giving help to those who Btill ure
bearing the burdens of the war In suffering,
privation and loHt opportunities.
All contributions made for the
flowers will go to support the rehab ]
ilitatlon and welfare work of the I-e-|
