more favorably, aud hold that, Invested
Of defects avoidsble in future, there wG4
nothing in the taking-of Of Remmler to
show that death By electricity ia not less
painful than death by the rope. The
physicians who we're present seem pgreed
that there was no sensibility to pain or
the part OF the nondem ned man; that the
first shock produced Instantaneous loss
o. consciousness. Urqaestionably much
that is revolving in the reports Of the ex-
ecution was due to the reporters desire
to make the most OF every detail, height
ened by the conditions under which
new life-destroying force of terrible, awe
inspiring potency was for the first time
legally applied. Il is undisputei that
there were serious defects 10 the mechani-
cal arrangements; and that there was
failure in developing steady current
and maintaining the same ct an efficient
voltage. This failure OF the current ems
to be sufficiently explained By the over
sight which LETT the test lamps burning

ably other causes, but this one alone
would abundantly account for it. The AS
socisted Press report staten that these 20

Making allowance for the resistance
offsred by the contacts, there remained
only 500 volts available, force, Bays the
report, mot enough to surely kill man
instantly with good contact, and that of

to consider, also, that had this bsen the
