Mrs. Huth Snyder ond Henry
Judd Gray, Illicit lovers, died lu
Ihe electric chair of Ming Btng pri
son seven minutes apart last night.
They wero executed for tho
murder of her husband, Albert
Snyder, magazine art editor, wh"
was beaten to dentil while asleep
in his home at QUeeilb' Village,
hong Island. March 20, last.
Mrs. Snyder was pronounced
dead at 11:09 o'clock and Gray at
11:15.
IWitli Culm
Suggestions freely made that
Mrs. Snyder would collapse at Ibo
end were not borne out. She walk
ed to the death dealing chair and
.Heated herself In tt with little di
rection from two matrons accom
panying her. They held her arms
but were guiding her more than
lending support.
Gray was the Gray of the Kong
Island city court room, who walk
ed with elastic tread and from
the court room each day. In court,
however, Gray for all his almost
jaunty walk, always slopped In and
out of the room with eyes averted.
At hla execution, the former cor
set Halesman looked directly Into
the faces of the awed witnesses,
numbering almost two-score,
Mrs, Snyder walked Into the ex
ecution chamber with slightly
dragging step and although her
eyes were wide open, they were
apparently unseeing and It wns
evident that for her the crowded
room did not exist. She closed
her eyes us sho slipped into the
electric chair.
Asks 1'orgUenrss
Holh died with prayers on their
lips. Just before the black mask,
tho last detail of the Mnal arrange
ments, was placed over her face,
Mrs. Hnydrr cried: "Forgive them,
father, for they know not whet
! they do." Gray's last words weru
'not audible but it was certain that
' his Hps were moving In prayer us
the current whh applied.
