Kemmler, the New York Murderer Flee
1rocuted.
AUBURN PRISON, Auburn, n. Y, Aug.
6.-Tl trial of new means Of taking
human life, while prompted by humane
motives, has resulted in asickening spec
tacle, presented by pinioned wretch
at whose vital center was kept pounding
for some moments an alternating current
of electricity, which, though it ultimately
destroyed his life, subjected the Grim
inal to a torture of which no living
being has knowledge, and which
none can describe. Imperfect regis
try of the currents pressure. or
faulty contact of the electrodes,
prey cnteu instantaneous death. The
the process Of this killing when the
statement is made that person whose
body should pe shaken into fragments
could not have suffered such pain as did
Kemmler, whose nerve cells and tissues
were disintegrated, not in a flash as de-
signed, but by the relatively slow
strokes of the electric hammers upon
them. Whether the blood yet retains
its normal consistency, or whether it is
partially or wholly fuidized by divorce
of oxygen from the blood corpuscles,
can only be determined by the autopsy.
Only a deliberate pen car adequately
describe the scenes, and this detail will
soon follow.
Kemmler's nerve was something Won
derful He never faltered. He direct
ed the adjustment of himself in the
chair, and counseled the warden to mod
Grafton to secure perfect safety. The
shock was given at 6:433, and was con-
tinued about Is seconds. Two minutes
after the current was cut off there was
evidence of respiration. AS soon
as possible the current was
returned, then cut off, and
again respiration was evident after
a few moments. Saliva came from the
mouth, the chest heaved, there was a
wheeling in the throat. The shock was
again put to the prisoner, who, the doc
tors remarked, was unconscious from
the moment of the first shock. After g.
short time smoke appeared at the base.
Flesh was burning. The spectacle
was most trying. The man, the
doctors said, suffered no pain,
however. The warden says the voltage
at the first shock was at 500 volts, which
run down to point not named. After
the third contact of four minutes the
man was declared dead. The warden s
certificate of death WAS signed by all
present, and the party broke up by 7:30,
to meet at SIS when the body would be
ready for the autopsy. When the mask
was taken off Reminders face his eyes
were found half open, and his express
sion, while not normal or placid, was not
hOrrifying to see.

two years. City councils and boards of
trustees are empowered to fix the amount
TO be charged for a license to keep a saloon
within the range of $500 as a minimum
and 81 600 as the maximum per annum.
The license fee is TO be paid in advance. IT
is provided that the saloon keeper shall
furnish such bonds as are required by the
city council or board of trustees, in
amounts ranging between 5000 and S10,-
010. Councils and boards of trustees are
empowered to issue licenses for the manu-
facture of Intoxicating liquors, the
manufacturer to give bond in
sums ranging from LOCO to $4,000
and TO pass ordinances and regulations for
the government of the business. The exc
treme penalty for first violation of any

liquor, directly or indirectly, to the person
so intoxicated while in an intoxicated con
ditiou and every licensee who shall will
fully violate any of the provisions
of this license shall be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be fined not less than $50

or both. 1.-The person or persons guilty OF
selling such intoxicating liquors to a per
son intoxicated shall also be liable to any
person or head of any family depending
upon such intoxicated person for support,
such liability to be in a sum sufficient to
maintain the family or person or persons
so depending upon the intoxicated person
during the disability of the intoxicated per-
son or during the time for which by reason
of such intoXication such support shall be
withdrawn from such family or person or
persons so dependant upon the intoxicated
person.
The act is made an emergency one and is
to go into effect Immediately after publ
cation.
When the hour for the special order ar
rived the Democrats were not ready for

sideration was postponed until a week

Miss, at 1:30 this afternoon for the murder
of John Tilman (colored), on July 10, last.
The drop was eight feet but the moose
slipped and he strangled to death in nine
minutes
Cheatham is the first white man to suf-
fer the death penalty for killing negro
in Mississippi. In the summer of 1888
Elman was brought before the grand

bling at place nine miles east of

Lemon fwhite), Jake and Lee Irving, Cor
nelius Robinson and himself, all colored.
On this testimony Cheatham with the 9TH
ers were indicted. At the January term
of court following Tilman testified against
Cheatham and would have been before the
court for the same purposes at the August

time arrived.
On July 13 the news was brought to
town that Tilman was missing and on the
Sunday following his body was found in
the river with several heavy stones
tied to him Cheatham, Lemon,
Robinson and the Irvings were placed

crime, as follows: Thursday night he left
the church on his way home and was met
by Lemon. who came near shooting him,
mistaking him for Tilman. On perceiving
his mistake, however, Lemon made him
dismount and join the other prisoners.
The crowd walked up the road and am
bushed themselves. Tilman came along
about II o'clock. Cheatham, with dou-
BILE barreled gun, sent nine buckshOt
crashing through his lungs and head.
The gang then picked him up, before
he was quitel dead, put him in a sack,
threw him across a saddle and went to the
river There the body was taken out of
the sack, stones tied to him and he was
thrown into the river. Cheatham was
tried and convicted, the case was appealed
and the decision of the lower court
affirmed
At the January term of 1890 of the Grim
inal court Lemon and Jake and Irving

and were sentenced to thirty, thirty and
twenty-five years respectively. Lee Irving
