DOCTORS AND ELECTRICIANS BLAMED.

show that this mode Of inflicting the
death penalty is not a success. The
failure was due not to tho system, but
the bungling, inefficient way in which
the execution was managed. The fault
was with the doctors and the electric
ians. The bungling work does not prove
that execution by electricity is failure.
It does not warrant return to the bar

ton been properly and efficiently man

the new system beyond all dispute. An
electric light concern should not be al

further its own private interests.
The Times says: cit is unfortunate for
the cause Of execution by electricity that
its tirst trial WAS badly bungled. No
doubt sthe advocates Of this method OF
executing the death penalty arc for the

they have not failure OF the method to
