Raleigh, March 16—At least 30 North Carolinians have made application for the job of executioner at the state prison, according to announcement made today by George Ross Pou, superintendent.
The job of executioner was created by the last general assembly, and for a time it seemed as if the place would go begging. The law provides for the payment of a sum of $25 to a guard or other person performing the task. It is expected that the appointment will be made before March 26, the date set for the next execution.
