(By Associatel Press) -Death for the third and fourth times within 48 hours early this morning invaded the little chamber at the penitentiary where acts of "greatest sinners" against soclety are justlited by the state of Ohio, when John Burke, 23, of Toledo, and Leroy Tyler, 34, negro of Youngstown, murderers were cuted in the electric chair. Burke, also known as McGuire, who was the first to die, was the seventy-seventh condemned man enter the death chamber. He gazed helplessly into the faces of of those who are permitted by law to see him die.

Rev. Father Kelly, the prison chaplain accompanied him and directod him to the chair. In his hand he carried a small crucifix which he kissed just before the black cap was adjusted over his face, as Inaudible words, probably a prayer, played on THIN, FADED HAIR NEEDS "DANDERINE" TO THICKEN IT 35 cents buys a bottie of "Danderine."

Three applications of current were necessy before he was pronounced dead at 12:12 a.

m. Accompanied by Chaplain T. 0. Reed and Major Walter Collins of the Volunteer Prison League, Tyler entered the chamber a few minutes later. He smiled sadly and said: "Where is the warden?" Warden Thomas stepped forward and he asked permission to make a statement.

His request granted, he said: "When I leave this world I go to face my Maker, but. the man who is responsible for the death of Myrtle Williams-1 leave him to his own electrocution and God. I have no malice to no man. Good luck to you all. God bless you all." He was pronounced dead at 12:21.

But one application of current was necessary. Burke was charged and convicted of having fired the shots which killed Augustus Long and Lewis Schroeder, railroad detectives slain while guarding $9,000 belonging to the New York Central Railroad, which was being taken from the rail-fing road station to a bank in Toledo, on January 17, 1921.

Frank Seward, a fourth member of the bandit gang committed suicide in a western city when he was about to be captured. Burke's 65-year old mother Margaret Surprise, of Toledo, visited him yesterday.

He told her he was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted. Mrs. Thomas, wife of the warden said their parting was the most pathetic she had ever witnessed at the institution. Tyler escaped from Youngstown after he killed 15 year old Myrtle Williams, a negro girl, who was employed at the same hotel with him in Youngstown. He surrendered in Mis-1 sissippi and was taken to town where he was tried and convicted.

He slashed her throat with a knife. Of Mrs. Thomas, with whom he became quite intimate during his incarceration, he made two requests. Yesterday he gave her his last dollar with which to purchase roses to be placed on his body. Several days ago he Asked her to see that his body be buried in his overseas army uniform.

She promised to see that both requests be fulfilled. So far as is known he has no relatives.
