AN EVENING THOUGHT
God Is our refuge and strength,

I Ps. 46:1. ,
TALAP FIRST TO MEET
DEATH IN NEW CHAIR
[Continued from First Page.]
song came from the wall apparatus,!
the sound of the automatic whirring I
switch that dropped the charge gradu
ally to 600 volts In six seconds.
At 7:21 Dr. R. J. Campbell, one of
the resident physicians at the NeV
Jersey State Penitentiary, pronounced
Talap dead. Twenty-three persons, in
cluding witnesses, newspapermen and j
attendants, saw the man die.
Talap was convicted of murdering
his wife at Norristown in August 1913.
He was about 38 years old.
Priest Precedes Condemned
Talap's death was staged in a gray,
bare room and had one stately ac
companiment. He was preceded into
the death chamber by a tall, straight
shouldered young priest. This was the
i Rev. Antonio Ulanitizky who presides
over a Greek parish, at Remey, Pa.
The priest, the one calm man present,
strode Into the room, dropped to his
Iknees on a mat at the feet of the con
demned man and with a smile like a
child's, lifted his crucifix before the
anguished eyes of the victim. There
he held it even after the heavy leather
mask had been fitted over the man's
lace. No tremor of emotion touched
the priest's countenance. Even after
I the first shock flung the body of the
condemned man outward against the
straps with a snap like a whip crack,
he remained motionless on his knees,
his face lifted and shining, a scarlet
stole folded in his left hand against
his breast.
Priest Remains Motionless
At the second shock a tiny cork
screw of blue smoke as faint as that
which might arise from a cigaret, went
up from tne lert leg of the man in
ifhe chair and drifted up through the
I metal dome above the chair. The
priest remained motionless on his
I knees and only when the spry young
doctor with his stethescope, stepped
forward and said, "Gentlemen, I pro
nounce this man dead," did he arise.
He moved to the stone bench with the
other witnesses, slipped his crucifix
under his long cassock and finally left
the room.
The priest had spent the entire
night in the doomed man's cell. Talap
had confessed the murder. When he
entered the room a foot or two ahead
of the doomed man he was whispering
the litany for the dead.
"God have mercy on me, Christ have
mercy on me," Talap whispered In
reply.
Warden Francles was not a witness
at the execution. Prisonkeepers are
usually opposed to capital punishment.
The deputies and the experts who In
stalled the chair and the general
equipment had spent most of the night
grooming the great gasoline engine in
the power room Immediately under
the row of six death cells.
Every circuit had been tested. W r hen
the power plant was set going at 6:30
this morning the muffled uproar pene
trated upward through the steel and
concrete floor.
Stops Praying to Cry
Talap who at that instant was on
his knees stopped praying to cry. He
refused to eat. any breakfast. It was
eleven and a half minutes after seven
when the chief keeper of the death
house entered his cell.
"It's time, John," he said, "Yes,"
said Talap, uncertain and iooked at
the priest.
"This way, John," the priest said
and the march began over the 21 feet
of corridor that intervenes between
the six death cells and the chair.
Talap had cried during most of the
night. He refused to sleep. He had
been brought up from the Norristown
jail last Monday handcuffed to a de
tective and under the eye of Sheriff
Schwartz, of Montgomery county.
In Chair in Few .Minutes
Talap following immediately on the
heels of the young priest, walked
wearily and seemed to have difficulty
in moving his feet. A deputy warden
supported him at each elbow. A touch
on his arm wheeled him to the chair,
What Could Be Done with the $2,000,000
Which the Full Crew Laws Arbitrarily
Take From the Railroads
Increased Railroad facilities, better service, greater safety and
convenience, business expansion and the employment of a great
number of men now idle would follow the repeal of the waste
ful Pennsylvania and New Jersey Full Crew Laws.
Facts —Not Theories
$2,000,000 would buy 2000 steel coaches.
It would pay for 80 locomotives.
It would purchase 67,000 tons of rails.
It would return 5 per cent, on $40,000,000.
It would block-signal 1000 miles of track.
It would eliminate 65 grade crossings.
It would pay for 2000 freight cars.
It would build 200 new stations at SIO,OOO.
It would provide additional freight terminal facilities. >
It would buy 2,500,000 railroad ties.
It would pay for 2,000,000 tons of coal.
The iron and steel industry would be stimulated, furnish
ing steel for new cars, rails, bridges, buildings, etc.
Miners and coke oven operatives would get increased
work as industry expanded.
New construction would mean busy times for the Lehigh
region cement plants and their workmen.
Thousands of architects, contractors, building trades
workers, electrical concerns and electricians, skilled
mechanics, carpenters, miners, and day laborers would
so get work.
With these incontestible facts thus clearly set forth, the
twenty-one railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey feel it
their duty to place the fate of the Full Crew Laws in the hands
of the people. They are convinced the people prefer that em
ployment be given to thousands for whom there actually is work to
knowing that $2,000,000 a year is being paid in mandatory wages
for extra men for whom there exists no essential service to per
form and whose presence, it has been conclusively shown,
increases rather than decreases the hazards of railroad
operation.

reprieve to March 28.
Talap's body was taken to the au
topsy room. After the ustial examiim
tion it was turned over to a Bellefonte
undertaker and will be buried at Nor
ristown. Talap's two children, who
live in Norristown, did not vist him
after his sentence. He shot his wife,
he said, because of jealousy.
Twenty Await Death
About twenty men now under sen
