Felipo Demarco and Salvatore Demarco, Joseph Ferrone. also an Italian, was electrocuted for slaying his wife in New York on October 24 last. The negio executed was John W Collins, who shot and killed Policeman Thomas Lynch In New York city July 1. 1911, while crazed with drink. The execution of the five Italians condemned for the murder of Mrs. Hall took place while hundreds of telegrams sent by Italian organizations in all parts of the country begging clemency lay unopened at Albany on the desk of Governor Dix. who is attending the mil itary maneuvers in Connecticut. Net a Hitch in Program. Extraordinary efforts had been made to save Cali, who maintained stoutly’ to the last that he was innocent. Cali tried to prove an alibi by declaring that he was working for a gas company in Brooklyn, but as the employees of the company are designated by numbers instead* of b.v name the doomed man could not establish his claim. The entire seven executions took place in one hour and fifteen minutes. There was not a hitch during the grew - some ceremony. Experts who were present designated it the most "suc cessful” electrocuition they had ever seen. None of the men gave any exhibition of fear, except Cona. who fainted and had to be carried to the chair. The five Hall murderers protested their innocence to the last. It had been expected that Ferrone, who has been giving the authorities a great deal of trouble, would cause a scene, but he was in a docile mood and as lie stepped to the chair he exclaimed: "I’m ready to go." A different set of witnesses was pres ent at each death. RAFFLES, IN A CELL, SETS SELF AFIRE; IS SEVERELY BURNED CHICAGO, Aug 12.
