Raleigh, Oct. 2 (AP)—Two negroes, Tom Robinson of New Hanover and John McMillan of Moore County, were electrocuted at state’s prison here this morning. Both were convicted of attacks on white women.
Robinson went to his death first, entering the death chamber at 10:30. He died with a denial of the crime still on his lips.
