FROM TORTURE If POsbIBLE

Experts Perfcct,nE the Electrical Arrange.
ment.-Th~ Lessons OF the Auburn Exc.
cution to be Vecded-Jueiro's Case.
The authorities ut the Sing Sing State prison
are determined that the killing by electricity
OF Joseph Wood. the colorcd mu, ,derer. shall
be scientific success. If it is possible to XIII
human being deHently and instantly by cleo
tricity. Warden Brush will guard against the
mistakes that were made at Auburn when
Kemmler was tortured to doath He said yes
terday that there was not doubt in bis mind
that Wood would be killed Instantly. He has
engaged expert electricians to perfect the ar
rangements and to make the preliminary ex-
periments Who they are he will not say. but
he has great confidence In their ability. They
were arranging the apparatus yesterday. Two
hours work will make everything ready for
the preliminary experimental.
The question OF having the switchboard from
which the death current will be controlled. In
the execution room has not been settled
the Warden says. 1t was In an adjoining room
in Kemmlsr's case. and the doctors then said
1t should have been in plain sight. Tho tenn
porary switchboard is already up in the exe-
cution room at Sing Sing and in oil probability
1t will be left where 1t is. II for no other
reason than that there is but single room in
the building. unless the four cells may be call
ed rooms, and moro convenient place could
not be found for IL.
The death chair will not be put In place be-
fore Saturday. 1t Is similar to the one used at
Auburn. 1t was made by tho convicts at tho
Auburn prison. Whether It is exactly the
