Carried Out At Sing Sing

NEW YORK, JUNE 19.

ETHEL AND JULIUS ROSENBERG WENT TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR IN SING SING PRISON AT 8 O'CLOCK. TONIGHT (MIDNIGHT GMT-HK TIME 9 A.M., SATUR- DAY).

The time of execution was announced by the Warden of the prison, Mr Wilfred Denno, after both President Eisen- hower and the Supreme Court had decided that the atom spies, husband and wife, must die.

The President's final refusal to grant clemency put an end to a two-year-old battle in the courts which drew the spotlight of world atten- tion.

But almost right up to the exccution the Rosenbergs lawyers were still trying to save them, exhausting every legal manoeuvre.
