Tills question was asked yesterday morning in the death house at the state penitentiary of S. J. Kirby, C. I O. Pox and Jesse Gappins by W. E. > Brazell, father of William Brazell, the young taxi driver, for whose mur der Kirby, Gappins and Fox are to i; die in the electric chair Friday, and the only answer the three men could i. give was the repetition of their stories as to how the crime took place. It was Mr. Brazell's first visit to 1 > the three men since their sentencing, { although he had sat through the trial (and hful twice heard Kirby, Gappins and Fox sentenced to die. The trip waa made at the request of Kirby, who asked Mr. Brazell to call at the death honse to see him before the electrocution. None of the three men recoflfiized Mr. Brazell when he confrotf&d them, separatred from them onqWy the barred cell doors. "I'm glad to see you," Kirby told p. tne murdered boy's father, "but not ' here. I wanted to see you before I f left this world to tell you that before God I am sorry for what I did. I would to God that I could exchange r with your boy and would gladly lay down my life if I could bring him back" "W?at I never could understand," Mr. Brazell interrupted, "is why you three big strapping men had to kill 1 my little boy to take his car.". "It's a mystery to me, too," Kirby said. "I'd never seen him before. Gappins and Fox were waiting for me fi at the Seaboard station, and they told m? first to get Big Bill's car and it H had been burned up so they told me K then to get any car and I saw your a boy's car parked near Main street. It J; was the first one I came to and that's * tbe reason that he was killed." jt "" "Kirby," Mr. Brazell told him, "you Ir have talked a good deal about your wife and I am sorry for her, but did W ybu ever think of my poor boy's mothI ar, who was an invalid at'the time the boy's murder and ever since?" ff rn nil it happen as it did. But I want some one to look out for my wife and child ) 1 -when I am dead." "Well," Mr. Brazell told him in I parting -as i&r as you are concerned 1 leave it up to you and your God." Gappins denied any knowledge of the fact that young Brazell was to have been killed, claiming that he had thought that Kirby was to pick up ' car on the street which they could then drive to Florida and sell. "If I bad known he was to be killed," Gappins told Mr. Brazell, "I woud not have gone. If it had been left to me he would have been alive today." "You held his hand while he was being killed," Mr. Brazell told him. "You drove the car. It could not have been carried out if you had left them. Why didn't you quit? You have had a lot to say about your mother since you have been here. Why didn't you think about her and your mother before you committed the crime?" Gapping htrtlg his head. "I know jhowJiis mother feels," he said. "And I'm V6rry for her." - ^(r. Brazell turned to leave. "GapPbw." he said, "I believe you are the| worst of the three of you. You have triad to shield yourself behind 'Fox and Kirby and you and Kirby lacked "tfcfccourage to play the part that Fox did." "I'm ready to meet my God with the story I've told," Gappins said, and Mr. Brazell then turned to Fox, who is confined in the adjoining cell. "Fox,' he said, "I feel sorry for you. I've met your father and I found 1/ j him to be a gentleman and he told me that he had tried to raise you right. But, I suppose, you came here away ' from home and got in with the bad company you did. You, I believe, have * told the truth." J "Yes," Fox answered, "my father's H a good man and I dont say so because I he is my father. I've nothing to say } agMfei my raising. Gappins told me f . abQfpit first and Jtoen about a week later Gappins and Kirby and I talked y it over together and that night Kirby |, went and got the car while we waited at tne seaooara station, rnen we got i in and Kirby told him where to go. [ _ had the black jack which had been given to Oappins by Kirby and to me by Gappins. Several times along the {?~n>ad Gappina and Kirby got out of the > car and talked together and each time ?- .they would come back and tell me * *What they had plotted. Finally Kirby get it the back seat with me and told ?. bm to tell the boy to stop and then to hit him with the black jack. I did '' ind the black jack flew to pieces and Kirby and Gappins got out on the right side of the car with the boy while I got out on the left. When I came around the back of the car they werfielding him and Kirby was choking him. I had opened my knife and Kirby told me to stab him?that Something had to be done. And I i VIRGINIA NEGROES SLAY CONDUCTOR Richmond, Va., June 11.?H. L. Burleson, 23 years old and unmarried, of Williamsburg, Va., a conductor in the employ of the Virginia Railway & Power company was fatally stabbed by a crowd of negroes in South Richmond late this afternoon, bleeding to death on the running board of an automobile in which he sought safety. Burleson's slayers made good their escape before the arrival of police and as far as the authorities know still are at large, although four negro suspects had been arrested up to a late hour tonight and are being detained in Third police station. They were subjected to a gruelling examination and are believed by police to be implicated in the killing, if one or more are not Burleson's actual slayer. The trouble arose over a drunken and obstreperous negro passenger, who upon being approached by the conductor and ordered to desist, became abusive and cursed the street car man. The latter sought to eject the unruly black when other blacks rallied to his aid. Their actions became So menacing the conductor jumped from his can and sought escape in an automobile which was proceeding alongside the trolley and whose driver, sensing the danger to the street car man, signalled him to leap aboard. The blacks followed and, dragging Burleson from the automobile, inflicted wounds with knives that shortly afterward resulted in the death on the running board. When an ambulance arrived in response to an emergency call Burleson was dead. R. L. McNally Returns Mr. R. L.

Once my conscience revolted against it and I stepped away, but they told me to go on and I did. I'm not denying my part. I am sorry. I was in with them and had promised to help them and I did." "I hope you have found peace," the boy's father told Fox in leaving. "It is now between you and your God." Fox showed the most genuine emotion of the three while Gappins ap pears to be in an argumentative, almost defiant mood. "If ever three men went to hell," Mr. Brazell said as he left the death house, "I believe these three will go.'' ?The State. UNION BOY WEDS !

Cadet White, whose home is at Pritchett, Texas, was making a practice flight from Carlstrom field to Okeechobee City and return Thursday. The fi- t part of the flight was completed without incident and Cadet White, flying alone, started to return but lost his bearing and sense of direction completely almost as soon as he started. Instead of flying northwestwardly White headed his plane almost due south. When at a point about 40 miles southwest of Immokalee, Lee county, his fuel tank ran dry and his plane crashed. The plane fas completely wrecked, but White escaped injury. He stayed with the wrecked plane intil the sun had sunk far enough to give h'm his direction. Then White started to walk toward the northwest, looking for signs of human habitation but finding none. With his clothing torn to tatter? and bitten almost beyond endurance by the swarms of mosquitoes in the swampy saw grass, night overtook the aviator in the edge of the big cypress swamp and he prepared to spend the night under a tree. During the night one of the panthers that infest the section chased White into the branches of a. tree, and there he remained until daylight. Continuing his tramp, foodless and with only the swarpp water to quench his thirst, young White was picked up Friday evening about 5 o'clock by a Seminole Indian and was taken to the proceeding Saturday to another camp several miles distant. On the way two of the searching planes from Carlstrom field were sighted, but signals from the young aviator and his Seminole guide were not seen and the planes passed on. Saturday afternoon the aviator and his guide reached Kennedy Carson's ranch, whore the night was passed at.d White had the first meal he had eaten sincb Thursday. Early this morn in*: Carson started with White in a buckboard for Immokalee. On the wav anotho? of the searching planes was sigh' 1 and Carson and White, signaling with a sheet, attracted the attention of the flyers and the plane made a landing. White was taken aboard an 1 the plane made the return flight to Carl strom field, reaching there shortly b fore dark tonight. White suffered r.o ill effects ot his experience beyond the mosquito bites, fright caused by the panther and the exhaustion of bis walk, in which he covered at least :"(> miles in the worst country in south Florida. Four big de Haviland pianos, re quested by Commandant Royse of Carlstrom field from Montgomery Ala., arrived at the field about o'clock this evening. The planes left Montgomery at daylight this morning and made the trip of approximately (iOO without difficulty.

The vote was unanimous in favor of making the improvements. The work will begin as soon as crops are "laid by," and the members propose to do much of the work themselves. It is estimated that $800 supplementing the labor contributed, will be sufficient to carry out the plans adopted. The present building will be enlarged by the addition of 10 feet in length to the present building, and the entrance will face the new highway ? which now passes in the rear of the building. The building now standing will not be moved, but will be repaired inside and out and painted. The pulpit and choib platform will be in what is now the rear of the building. and will give supervision of the work without charge. The rough lumber will be sawed by Mr. Maxcy Crosby without charge. The hauling and much of the work on the building will be done by the members of the con gregation without charge. More than half of the $800 cash needed was subscribed at the meeting yesterday, and e. committee of three men and three ladies was appointed to continue securing subscriptions.
