This morning in the little oc

paid the death penalty in the electric
chair for the dastardly crime which
he commitied on Saturday. Septem
her Hi. in Warren -county, near Hen-

ieniarids of tlio law; -Jiis life was thi
morning- taken from linn, in the
presence of about sixfv
.'people.- '..

which is on

the electric machinery in the ad

distinct, above the conversations of
the men waiting there to witness
the taking ol a human lift
At 10:21. Warden T: P. Rale turned
on the first electric, test and twenty-
tour electric bulbs burned bright.lv.
howmg that all connections and
machinery wore in perfect workup
order. At 10:23, the second test
was made, the third at. 10:24 and
the fourth and last at 10:20. The
order then came from the warden
to make the chair readv, make a'l
the connections, and the guards went
to work, removing the test board
and connecting all the wires.
Prisoner F.uters.
At exactly 10:29, the condemned
man appeared in the doorwav, sup
ported on either side bv a guard.
There was not a falter in his sleii.
quiet and calm, Norval Marshall
walked across the rubber matting
and took his seat in the chair know
ing that within fust a brief period
of time ho would be hurled into
eternity. He was a tall, and limit
mulatto, dressed in a dark suit with
a light slrlpo in it. and in stocking
feet, with the right pant leg split.,
that the connection -might be made
with his. naked leg. Taking his scat
he closed his eves, which quivered,
showing a slight nervousness. Just
helore the strap was put across his
face, he opened his eyes and looked
around the room, taking the last look
upon a human face and seeing th.
light of day for the last time. He
whs quickly strapped to the chair
by the guards and at exactly 10:31,
at. a given signal from Dr. Jordan,
Captain Sale pulled the great lever
and eighteen hundred volts were shot
into the man s body. There was a
contracting of the muscles and the
body jerked, pullpd and twisted with
the powerful current going through
it, the straps tight around the man,
showing the terrible strain upon
them. The current was carried to
1S00 volts back to zero, returned to
the limit and then shut off. It was
evident that the man was dead as he
dank back into the chair limp and
relaxed. The shirt was quickly un
buttoned and T)rs. Jordan and M.:
(leachy made the medical examina
tions,, listening for anv heurtbea'3,
should there be any and feeling the
pulse. To be certain the great lever
was pulled again and at 10:33 n
second current was thrown Into the
body. There were two rapid pulls
of the lever and at 10:36 he was
pronounced dead bv Drs. Jordan,
McOeachev and Stevens, and Norval
Marshall had given up his life for
the sake of a crime. There in the
midst of death, silence reigned for
a few moments, and the straps were
then loosened and the bodv taken
out of the chair and carried into
the hallway.
In exactly tou minutes from the
time he walked Into the death cham
