Y., Novfl 20.—Three murderers were put to death in Sing Sing prison today Just as'dawn began to brighten the skies above Westches ter hills. They were Pietro Falletto, of Port Chester; Prank Schermerhom. Mill- brook, near Poughkeepsie, and Bert L. Brown, of Rye. They went to the chair in that order. The executions began at 5:28 o’clock and lasted only 23 miuutes. It was the first triple electrocution at Sing Sini: since the electric current superceded the gallows in New York state. Twenty years ago four murder ers paid the death penalty at one time by hanging. All three executions proceeded with out incident or delay. Of the crimes expiated today, Schermerthoms attracted the most notice. On the night of January 13, 1910, Sarah Brymer, a nurse employ ed by Barnes Compton at Milbrook, was found dead in the Compton home under circumstances which indicated that the had been criminally assault ed and strangled. Schmerhorn, the family coachman, 22 years old, and married, >^as arrested on suspicion and aubae-iuently convicted on cir cumstantial evidence. On the day &t- ter the cr5me officers searching the boachman s house found him lying under a bed with his throat cut, but he soon if;overed. A quantity of 8il ven^'are stolen from the Compton house was found in a chimney tiu» in the coachman’s house. Schermer horn tried to throw suspicion't)n a Japanese servant but he finally ad mitted thee rime. Bert L. Brown, who is a negro killed William Brown, his half broth er, in the village of Rye, May 21, 1910. Pietro Falletto cut Louis Levines throat in Levines' store in Port Chester, Augut 13, 1909. The victim waa 89 years of age and weighed scarcely ICNtt pounds while Falletto was but 33 years old and weighed 180.

Carpenter, of the pnited States district court, today postponed until Wednes day morning the trial of J. Ogden Ar mour and nine other packers, charged with violating the crinainal provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act. The postponement was in cognizance of the action of Judge Kohlsaat, of the United States circuit court, who, after quash ing the writs of habeas corpu& prev iously granted the packers, withheld the entry of the.o?der until Wednes day. J. Ogden Armour,'the only defendant not directly concerned in the habeas corpus proceedings, might have been placed on trial, but Judge Carpenter announced that he was not disposed to try his case*3eparately. , Counsel for the packers refused to intimate that wheir next movewould be. This means that no stay of the trial can now be procured from the su preme court, as a body at least until December 4th. It does not, however, preclude the packers from applying to Associate Justice Day, now at Canton, Ohio, for an appeal from the order of the United States circuit court at Chi cago, which announced tJiat It would not release the packers from custody on “heabeas corpus” proceedings. ipH "U d='? in By Aesociated Presa Sav&nnfth, Ga., Nov. 20.—The Savan nah automobile race course claimed Its fist victim today, which ’was the first day it had been thrown open for prac tice of those who are entered for -the races next week.
