| Joseph Kemmler the murderer sentenced
to death by electricity, has appealed to the

was unconstitutional, as it prescribed an
unusual and cruel manner of death. The
Court held that the evidence went to show
that it was not a cruel method of iDflicting
the death penalty, and that it was therefore

only chance of escape now is through the
clemency of the Governor, which is not
likely to be exercised.
