AN IMPROVEMENT on HANGING

SIR: l have been shocked beyond measure
during the last year reading accounts OF the hanging OF
criminals in various parts OF the United States where in
almost every instance the execution has been attended
with terrible and needless torture 10 the crimina-some
times prolonged 10 the space Of ten minutes, and
longer Though perhaps, rot prepared to believe that
capital punishment should be abolished yet echo your
denunciations Of such needless ei7eity man must be
erecuted, ia burbity prolong his suffering IL 1t
must be done In Heavens name let be done
possible; aud beg leave to suggest method which
long 90 presented itself my mind bur which has
been again brought up by article in several papers of
this week-coplcd, / think from Haper-detaing the
experience OF man who accidentally touched wire
connected with dozen Leydon Jars. The method Is
dea Jy elecrei IL is perfectly painless and absolutely
i,sfqqBeos why Is not this IN every way preferable,
and thousand times css shameful 20 us as civilized
people, than the slow sranguati0n now ptacLced upon
our criminals Yours truly A.
