He was the first prisoner who ever matched to the electric chair, provided so hospitably by the commonwealth, and went out chewibg gum.

He left the congregation great ly disturbed. It had expected him to “crack” and at the last mo ment to give Mrs. Carter, Gov ernor Bhringhaus, Parole Com missioner Edwin Gill, and Attor neys Glidewell and Gwyn such satisfaction as a belated confes sion could bring them. But he did exactly the opposite. "The motor is humming and in a few minutes I will be dead,” he wrote in a steady hand. "And before God I am innocent.” Nobody liked that.
