laisrceded for Btttlngs who
inafhow nstouaed the sympathy
outsiders who felt that he
cOBTlcted pnrely because he
kQM » white man. Crockett did
a dramatics. He had made
* lia)f hnmrted efforts as many of
hla l40 predecessors had don^,
at klHlng himself. There was the
i.jti«ate8t clond upon his teehnlc.
Be bnagled every job. Yesterday
aaonUng he had improved - and
»igh(t have {succeed^ by acci-
i^^'tlent. He was found with a sheet
twisted about his neck and tied
to 'at stationary object that made
1'^'^ hanging‘possible.
Last night he butted his knot-
i ty head against the Iron bars
g.aad- made a perfect reprint of
on his head. When
s# the attendants put the helmet on
hliB' It didn’t fit. The bulge
so
stock out that it seemed he
jetV; might need help in getting his
headadnto the thing. Bittings had
.helped the workers to get him-
gr^> self harnessed. Crockett slid
^^jf^'^about the chair, pushed back the
handlers and just lolled half !n-
Sk' sanely in the arms of the ma-
*• ehlnery.
Bktings and Crockett were at-
J": tended by Rev. George A. Fish-
er, rector of St. Ambrose Epls-
L copal church. The minister asked
both men to say a word. Bittings
with a»fine sense of fairness to
people who had participated in
the trial, said he had naught
against any man in the world.
"It’s not the fault of the courts,
that I am here. I did what Jesus
told me to do,’’ the blacker man
said.
Crockett was much less grac
ious. He barely gasped his
grouch but he had it, "Let the
white people go on and kill me.”
-he whispered to his clerical help
er who reproduced it to the
witnesses. It was necessary to
lift the second prisoner along,
four guards assisting him. He
was the nearest “out” of all the
men who had been executed
there.
Only one ever showed the
ame sort of collapse. A big
white from Wilmington, named
Sanderlin, a wl^a killer as Crocj|^
ett was. had tb -be helped, bht
Saifderlln really could have walk
«d. Crockett had been fasting
»Bd butting his head. He was in
bad way. He had denied the
killing of his wife. Bittings had
not made full confession. He
contended that ha killed In self
defense. But his wife and chll-
from the first testified in
such way as to have made any
thing but murder in the first de
gree unthinkable. Bittings had
every executive consideration.
He said his execution was but
the fulfillment of "God's work.”
He left directions for payment
-of $150 in his burial expenses,
then the remainder of his war
risk insurance was to go to his
wife and, their children. There
was no resentment tow'ard them.

Industrial emergency committee.
which is to he the laison between
ail recovery units and President
Roosevelt, was authorized by the
White House this afternoon.
The President appointed to the
recovery board five veterans in
Ihe general recovery service, in
cluding S. Clay Williams, vice
chairman of the board of the R.
J. Reynolds Tobacco company,
with two ex-officio members of
that organization, and for the in
dustrial emergency commltee, or
super-emergency cabinet, he se
lected six of his advisers on re-
cevorey, headed by Donald R-
picbberg . who. together with
Secretary Perkins, has for some
time been in disagreement with
General Johnson on questions
of reorganization.
The units represent the execu
tive and legislative phases of the
NRA reorganization, the third
category of the plan dealing with
enforcement of codes remaining
to be worked out by the Presi
dent. The new recovery board,!
the plane a lifetime thrill.
So close did the meteor come
to the plane that Arch Anderson,
co-pilot who was at the controls,
swerved the ship in what he
thought would be an effort to
dodge the flaming visitor.
Some oi me passengers saw
the blinding light and cried out.
Anderson suddenly realized it
would do no good to attempt
dodging a body moving so rap
idly and flipped the plane back
to its course.
The meteor exploded appar
ently only a few hundred yards
ahead of the plane. The Trans
continental Air liner, westbound
from Reno, continued on to Oak
land unscathed.
Anderson said the plane was
7,000 feet up when he saw a ^
dazzling light heading toward j
the craft. |
"For a split second,’’ he said, j
"I was puzzled. Then I realized ]
it must be a meteor. !
"Automatically I started to

Mr. Williams was named first

to influence the members in se
