After Japusry l, 1882, mur5erers in

that he won't kro8 anything about it.
The suhisc Of putting murdereIs to death
by electricity has been sgitsted in the En-
pie state for more than a year.
After mature federation it was conclu-
ded that hanging would have to 90.
Hanging has been the fashionable mcds
OF punishment for centuries, bat a COM
mission appointed by Governor Hill con-
Guided that it was too narrowing. They
made = number ofexpeTiments, and finally

sccitty took the matter up, appointed a
commission, and the result was that q gar
~,icular form OF applying tire electricity
was suggested. TuiS wsy OF killing of

used in New York State hereafter. Three
ways of applying the fatal electricity were
proposed, but nune of item answered the
purpose. One was passing the e~leetri-

took the trouble to lCok up the various

tries.
EARLY MODES OF EXECUTION.
Hanging is q very cid Institution. The
earliest form 0fthe gall0ws was undoubt-
edlS q stout tree and q convenient limb,
and they seem to have retained their pop.
ularity every since TIE hangiug Of Al by
Joshus, as recorded in the Bible.
Hanging was ussd and known by the
English in TIE thirteenth century. They
probably got it from the French. 1t Is re-
corded by a French bistorish in 1919 that
knight, who had bean ~judicially put to
death, was hung on the gihbet
after the brsath had left his body.
The first use of the primitive gal.

lard to sxpcse criminals was 10 the reign
Of Henry III. TIE first to be executed by
the drop was EIrl FerrerI, May 5, 100.
After his arms had been secured by a black
sash and q common halter passed around
his neck, he mounted a part of the scaffold
eighteen inches above tie rest. and the
signal being given by the sheriff that part
of the floor sank under him to a level with
the rest, and he remained with po!hipg to
stand en-.
1t seems to be fairly settled that sensa-
tion, reflection and mentsl horror accom-
pany the physical toItures Of thoee who are
in the act distinguishing. Examples are
frequent Of those who commit suicide by
banging attempting to regain their foot
hold, finding the tOItures of strangulation
greater than they had conceived. 1t is re-
ported Of a womao, executed in 1860,
that the rope slipped her cap partially
from her face, and while hanging at the
hsltsI's end, by q mighty effort SIZE PIT
up one of her hands sufficiently to draw it
down sgain over ter distorted features"

Il was desired, Of course, to take the ut
most Gaze Of the prisoner. lie was 70 die
~ pleasantly IS possible. Then the at
tendaut Cnder this method might make 6
mistake and be struck hjUself.
TIE commission finally concluded tcat
tho best way would be to have the current
pass through the head from tie top TO the
back OF the neck. One electrOde Is fitted
to the top ut the prisoners head, smother
plgc:d in conts c. with the email Of his
back. The top electrOde connects with the
positive pole, the bottom with tEC negative
pole. A lestheTn rest holds the prisoners
had and bands keep him from moving
The current, in going from ore elec:rode to
another, does rot keep in a straight line, but
spreads out and goes through the entire
Sraip. 1t resembles somewhat a bundle OF
| faggots tied at the two ends and swelling
| out in the middle. The seat OF conscious
cess being in the brain, and tie headquar-
ters for sll the nerves being located there,
il is ofcourse as plain as day that, when sn
electrn-uotive force ofS, 600 volts s applied
the priscre- is bound to die. The great
hPsfv Of this system IS that the prisoners
don't know it either.
