Laurent, 8, C PROtJD OF TIIK HONOR, Samael Hyde Rejoices Over the Fame Attached to Being the First Person Legally Electrocuted in South Carolina. Anderson, Juno 1.?"I think i am entitled to be the first person In South Carolina to go to the electric chair. I am the oldest prisoner under death sentenco in the State," was the declar ation made today by Samuel N. Hyde, tho wife murderer, when asked in the court of sessions by Judge Prince If ho had anything to say why the death sentence should not be Imposed on him. Judge Prince told Hyde he was dis posed to accede to his request, but that he did not know whon tho elec tric chair would be ready for busi ness. The contract calls for the in stallation of the chair by June 21. Judge Prince said that tbero may bo [some delay In carrying out the con tract. Hyde remarKed that he did not believe there would be any de lay, that the chair manufacturers would certainly live up to their con t trnct. Judge Prince then said to Hyde that he did not think he (Hydo) would want to be the one to be ex perimented on; that tho first execu tion might be a bunglesome job. A smile broko over Hyde's face when the court used the word "bungle some." and replied that some one had to be experimented on, and that he was willing to be that one. "1 think I am entitled to be the first In the State, and I ask that you give mo this privilege." Judge Prince stated again that be did not know whether tho chair would be In readiness by June 21, and that if be sentenced him to die at that time there may be some delay nnd this would necessi tate the imposition of another sen tence at the next term of criminal court. Hyde Inquired if Judge Prince knew when the first execution al ready pronounced will take place. Judge Prince said he did not know for certain, but that there nre several persons in the State under sentence to die in the chair. Hyde then said "How ahout the 2Sth of June? That Is on a Friday." Fifth of July the Date. Judge Prince stated that he would have to allow for a reasonable delay in putting in the chair. He then pro nounced the death sentenco, tho day of execution being the fifth of July, the hour being between 10 o'clock in the forenoon and 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Ulster) of Crime. On tin; night of July IS, 1911, I Samuel Hyde, who was an engineer by trade and who was separated from his wife by her father who claimed unfaithfulness and bad treatment, forced an entrance Into tho house of \V. V. Boasley, .Mrs. Hyde's father. He proceeded to the room occupied by his wife, and as she lay In bed be opened fire on her with a pistol. The shots caused instant death. Mrs. Hyde's little sister, who was in bed with her, was also severely wounded, two balls Hiking her. Hyde declar ed that this was not intentional. l\j then turned to go out the door and depart. As he was passing through tho door Mr. Heasley, father of Mrs. Hyde, who had been awakened by the shots, appeared In the hall. He grappled with Hyde. Hyde's pistol w..s empty, but he managed to put In one bullet. He then shot Mr. lleasley through tho heart, bis death also re sulting Instantly. Intended to Suicide. Hyde says ho intended to shoot him self, hut. ho did not hnvo time as a crowd was gathering, lie bolted out of the house by the back window he entered through, and hid himself in a Ibid of corn near the Orr mill village. He was near the main road leading to the city, nnd when he saw Sheriff King coming in his buggy, he emerg ed from tho field, and called to tho sheriff to stop; that ho was the man ho wanted. When Hyde's case was called for trial last September he entered a plea of guilty upon bis arralgnmnt. Judge Prince, the presiding Judge, re fused to accept such a plea, and ap pointed Leon Is. Rice, of the local bar to defend the prisoner. Monoma nia was the plea advanced by Mr. Rice, but the Jury found Hyde guilty of murder. He was sentenced to hang on Octobor 20, but this sentence was stayed pending an appeal to the supreme court. That tribunal refus ed to Interfero with the Judgment of tho lower court, and remanded the case for resontence.
