Graphic Story of Two Lives Snuffed Out By State Electric Chair Route (Raleigh News and Observer) Two more men died in th. elec-| trie chair here Friday without ton-] testing the crime for which the Sta. • exacted the death penalty. Clyde Ferrell, 25-year-old Dur ham white man who was-1 calmer in, the face of death than the attend-j ants who fumbled with the straps,' was electrocuted for the murder of: Thaddous Tilley, Durham filling | station man in a Holdup on the night i of March 2, 1933. John Lewis Edwards, Charlotte' negro who gave his age as 17 but | who looked older than Ferrell, de layed his death to speak from the chair words of counsel to his fellow man and to assert his own innocence. Smiling the breadth of his cherubic countenance, Edwards died just three minutes after he declared in a firm voice: “I’m not guilty of this crime of ■ which I was accused. I never killed ] no one in my life.” He was sentenced to death for the ] murder of J. W. Brown, street car; conductor, last year. Holds Pmk Flower Ferrell died first. He took his place in the chair only ! a few minutes after the whine of the j ! dynamo had supplanted the Death : ! Row dirge. With him into the cliam | her walked his mother’s pastor, the i Rev. C. R. Nixon, Wake Forest Bap Itist minister, in his hand he clutched 1 a pink gladiolus. Another doomed I man had thrust it out to him as he I passed down the cell block. The little fellow, anaemic, emuei ! ated, weighed barely 125 pounds, i He held the flower as he would have a cigarette if that had been allowed him. The attendant strapping his • right arm down took the flower from he hand and tossed it on the floor, j The doomed man’s eyes followed it : as though something very valuable ■ had been wrested from him. i When the arm was made fast to , the arm ul' the oaken chair, the guard picked up the flower and | placed it in the hand which Ferrell no longer could extend to receive it. “Anything you want to say, j Clyde?” asked Warden H. H. Honey cutt. , "No, nothing at all.” i The Rev. Mr. Nixon leaned over 1 solicitously. | "I’m all right, all light,” said Fer rell. i Warden Honeycutt waved the minister out of the chained-ol'f enclosure. Dr. J. M. Coleman drop ped his hand. Executioner A. H. Sessom threw the switch. Dies In Silence ] The pink gladiolus quivered, as the lingers grasping it seemed to] i relax instead of contra.‘t as is usual] 1 upon application of the lethal cur- j rent. It slipped down until it wu retained only by the pressure of the dying man’s hand against the! oaken at m df the chair. It ] quivered, but it did not fall. The body tautened, and the fin- j gers, delicate as a young girl’s,, tightened upon the flower. For two-' minutes the current coursed through the body. Only the mouth, visible [through the straps, showed the death agony. Executioner Sessoms broke the circuit mid the body hung limp against the straps but the heart still fluttered. Dr. Coleman did not apply the stethoscope. W a r .1 i n Honeycutt poured water from an c Id shaving mug over the head and leg electrodes. The executioner threw the switch. The hand holding the flower seemed to come to life. The fingers moved .holding the stem so ,'hat the pink blossoms were brought 10 an upright position. But a third shock was necessary to kill skinny pale little Clyde Fer rell, and when the undertakers men finally took his body from the chair, the flower was still grasped firmly in the hand. The body was limp. Only the knee of the leg to which the electrode had been fasten ed would not bend. The remains went to Ferrell’s mother ,Mrs. D. D. Mas sey 102 Guthrie Avenue, Durham. After Ferrell was dead, the Rev. Mr. Nixon revealed that he did not | confess, even to him. “I’m not guilty. They talked me into it,” the minister 'aid Ferrell told him. He would not elaborate 1 upon the paradox. Edwards’ Death Speech Five minutes later Edwards, ro tund, cheerful, was in the chair. Obviously fearful that he would not be given an opportunity to make a full statement, he began talking as soon as he had taken his seat. "May God bless Sister Allen (Ra leigh white woman who regularly visits the doomed men), tell her to keep coming and preaching to the boys on Death Row.” “God says only to trust in Him. “I’m going home to vest.j I trust in the Lord.” And lamb-like, John Lewis Ed | wards, convicted murderer, indi cated that he was ready to die. Death Comes Quick!i; The straps were tightened. His ■bulky body offered more resistance |to the current than had Ferrell's ■ 125 pound?. Water about the head 1 electrodes steamed. The right ear ! burned. The hands, with no pink gladiolus to hold clenched tightly. I Two shocks killed burly John Lewis j Edwards. I The electrocution was the 139th. Waiting on Death. Row with life c ases are 19 more doomed men. MRS. CALLiE OWENS I BURIED LAST FRIDAY HENDERSONVILLE. July 11 — Funeral set vices for Mrs. C'allie Owens, 52, wife of W. W.
