NEw York July 1Z-In Dr. Frederick
Peteson's testimony before Referee Bakar
regarding electrical executions, the witness
said he had made diss actions OF four or fva
dogs and from his experience In this
direction found that In vivisection the dogs
were able TO stand more than human beings.
He did not know the force OF an electrical
current, but was positive that one could be-
produced that would cause death without
pain in every instance Ii the current was
appl cd like in the machine Of execution it
would be diifused throughout he entire svs-
tenn The alternating current be considered
more dangerous tnan the continuous on. He
said he d.ssected the dogs only few minutes
after they had been taken from the electri-
cal circuit He knew they were dead, be-
cause they did not breathe. In soms cases
when he cut the animal open, the heart beat
for thirty-s.x minutes. This he said, was no
indication of life
