Raleigh, Jan. 8 (AP)—John Dawkins, negro, paid the supreme penalty at the State Prison this morning for the murder of Jos. H. Vaughn, merchant of Winston-Salem. Two shocks were administered before the negro was pronounced dead. Dawkins entered the death chamber shortly after 10 o’clock and the first shock was given at 10:15. Before being electrocuted Dawkins confessed to the crime for which he was sentenced to die.
