Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 4. (A 3 )—
William and Fred Hulsey, father
son, were electrocuted at the state
prison farm today despite an attempt
of Fred Hulsey to save himself
the chair by suicide and to stop the
execution of his father by confessing
sole responsibility for the murder
Clifford Jones. Jones and two
men were killed in a poker game
the Hulseys on their farm near Rock
mart and the bodies of the three were
found later in an abandoned well njav
by.
Fied Hulsey was strapped in the
chair at 1:48 p. m., eastern time,
was pronounced dead at 1:53 p. m.,
after one shock. William Hulsey,
father, went to the chair at 2 ; tl ’ Pj
m„ and was pronounced dead at

chair he turned to prison attaches and
newspapermen and said:

Dr E. C Atkins prison chapam,
was then addressed by younglluhey
“Please tell my father that I 1

H.s neck and left wrist swathed in
bandages young Hulsey appeared pale
as he sat in the electric chair.
sicians however said his pulse was nor

he had made with a razor blade in the
death cell.
As the father sat in the chair he

“The Lord . is with me. I am
cent of this crime but I was there
when it happened.’
The double electrocution, the first
in Georgia in which a father and son
were sent to the chair together, was
carried out after Dr. Richard Binion,
prison physician, had advised the ex¬
ecutive offices at the state capitol that
the younger Hulsey’s wounds were
not serious enough to prevent his
execution.
The prison chaplain was reading
from the Bible to the two men when
the younger Hulsey drew from a nock
et a broken razor blade, slashed his
throat and wrist and shouted he alone
was guilty of the murder of Jones and
Lige Harper and Ernest McCullough.
“Don’t kill my dad for something
I did myself,” he pleaded as guards
dashed into the death cell where the
father and son were confined.
“I am the only one responsible for
Clifford Jones’ death. My father only
helned me to dispose of the bodies in
order to help me out of my trouble.”
The three men were shot and kill
od at the culmination of a poker game
near Rockmart and the bodies found
hidden in an abandoned well
distance away from the crime.
Hulsevs were arrested and indi •I
for the murder of all three.

ed by Frank Lloyd Wright, famed ar¬

the architect.
The boys named in the warrants are
Karl Jensen, Rudolph Mock, and Sam
Ratensky.
Secrest told Assistant District At
tornev Carl Christianson yesterday
that five young men attacked him at
his home. Wright said the young men
acted without his knowledge and the
students corroborated his statement,
While Secrest obtained warrants
, for the arrest of the students, Wright
|was granted a request for a warrant
j i charging Secrest with assault with
attempt to maim and disfigure.
1 Wright said Secrest assaulted him on
a street here Monday over payment

American Authorities Ask His
Detention For Extradition to
Answer Indictments at Chi¬

DEFENDANT REPORTED
ILL BY PHYSICIANS
Two Doctors Ordered to Examine
Him While He is Being Held
in Jail By Greek Police
Officers..
Athens, Nov. 4. (TP)—Samuel Insull,
former public utilities official of Chi¬
cago, was arrested in his hotel to¬
day at the request of the American
authorities for extradition to answer
an indictment arising from the col¬
lapse of the Midwest Utilities Com¬
pany.
At . , police ,. , headquarters , , his , . ,
explained that Mr Insull is
from heart trouble, and asked
if it were necessary to detain him he
be taken to a hospital.
The public attorney, however,
rected . iji that , ir Mr. T Insull be held at police
headquarters for tonight. He
ed two physicians to. examine
and report tomorrow at which time he
will decide where the American will
remain during the extradition proceed
ln ? 8 ’
It seemed . ... likely , because of his ill
health and his advanced age (Mr.
Insull is 73), that he would be
ted to, go to a hospital.
When he was arrested and taken
out of the hotel by the liack way Mr.
Insull seemed upset. After the brief
proceedings at headquarters he
Peared to be feeling better, but he
declined to discuss his case for publi
cation.
The American was taken into cus
tody by the Athens police just after
noon m compliance with an order of
the court of appeals which held an
application from Leland B. Morris,
the American minister, for
t10 "’.
•
Chicago authorities wished . . . to
turn Insull to the United States to
face indictments charging larceny and
expropriations in the collapse and
subsequent receivership of the
middle west utilities properties earlier
this Y ear -
An Athens policeman was left to
guard Insull in his room in ,n the me hotel note.
Petit Palais, pending a decision
the public prosecutor as to a place of
detainment.
Christos Ladas, Insull’s Greek at¬
torney, announced he would appear
before authorities of the court of’ ap
peals peals as soon as possible and ask that
his client be permitted to remain in
his hotel under close supervision in¬
stead of being lodged in prison.
The attorney will plead the Amer¬
ican’s advanced age and point out
that Greek law permits certain pris¬
oners the privilege of accommodation
in a hospital.
The ministry of justice announced
the arrest of Insull, asserting that the
American legation requested it and
pointed to the Graeco-American ex¬
tradition treaty already published in
the official Gazette.
The American legation announced
it would immediately forward a
warrant and other documents in sup¬
port of yesterday’s note and these
would show the grounds upon which
Illinois wished to gain custody of the
prisoner.
Before he was arrested Insull ap¬
peared to newspapermen to be nerv¬
ous. and he complained of not feeling
very well.
After the police commission of Ath¬
ens had called on him and he had been
officially declared under arrest, In¬
sull had this to say:
“Apart from police surveillance,
there is such a thing as surveillance
of newspapermen, from which no one
can escape.”
He made this statement just after
his attorney had announced he would
seek to keep his client in a hotel room
under police surveillance.
Insull was in his hotel room when
Police Director Courtsourmaris and
several plain clothes men arrived. He
greeted the officers cordially, and af¬
ter an interval they requested him to
go with the director.
It was obvious this morning that
some major development was afoot.
Administrative and judicial authori¬
ties were even more secretive than
usual, and employees at the hotel ex¬
pected something any minute. Mr.
Insull was upstairs in his room.
The police commissioner arrived at
noon, went up the side stairway and
served the warrant. His prisoner
asked for time to shave and dress, and
telephone his lawyer.
Sometime later the
came downstairs and left by the front
door. A policeman took Mr. Insull

“Next, year,” said he, “I shall be on

may even land for five minutes.” He
refused to disclose further details on
the ground that his announcement
might “disorganize the United

“I understand,” he said, “that the

Some one from the crowd called
him the “Fighting Quaker” and the
president smiled.
Just before the train left Gresham
Junction, a man called out: “How’s
things going, Herbie?”
“They are going fine,” the president
“We arc going to carry Cook coun¬

shouted back.

St, Vincent De Paul, Que., Nov. 4.
(/P) Prisoners in the penitentiary on
the Island of Jesus rose in mutiny
today and set fire to the tailor shop.
A detachment of royal mounted po¬
lice galloped out from Montreal, nine
miles away, and the Montreal, fire de¬
partment hurried to the assistance of
the penitentiary force.
The lire was under control an hour
inter, hut order had not been entirely
restored.
While one group of convicts set the
tailor shop afire another group set
up a disturbance in another part of
the buildings to draw the guards away
from the flames. A third group cut
around outside the tailor shop to slash
(the fire hose, hut prison guards beat
I them off.
| With the arrival of the Montreal
j firemen the flames were extinguished.
The mounted police, with drawn guns,
assisted the prison guards r.n herding

diately after he had learned details of
the outbreak.

Wallace, Miami, Fla., Nov. 4. (TP)— C. Dan
50, Miami real estate brok¬
er, died last night in a hospital from
a fractured skull received when he
was attacked anil beaten in his apart¬
ment.
Police said unidentified assailants
beat Wallace into insensibility ap¬
parently with the butt of a revolver
anil fled before other tenants in the
building could come to investigate the
commotion.
Efforts of police to question Wal¬
lace were futile, since he was delirious
most of the time after the heating.
Friends told police that several
days ago a man voiced threats against
Wallace in a telephone conversation
with a woman living in the same
apartment building. The threat was
said to involve a conversation Wal¬
lace had with a woman relative of
the man who made it.
