THE FATAL LEVER

where he said. upon being asked if he had
anything to say, that he wished every
body good luck. When the cap was placed
upon his head and strapped there, he re-
marked: 'Oh, you'd better press that
down further, guess Press that down"
So the heHdpiece was unchanged and
pressed further down. While it was be-
ing done Kemmler said: "Well, l want
to do the best 1 can / can't do any better
than that" and thi while everybody else
In the room was evidently highly excited.
The Instruments of Death.
The condemned man sat strapped in a
chair with one electrode in the cap fitted
to his head and another pressing against
the lower part of his spine, an opening
having been made in the trousers so that
the plate would be in contact with his
hesh. Up in another part of the build
ing there stood the dynamo. The electric
power was 1000 volts and those having
charge of the lever that released the cleo
trio message of death say that the voltage
during the execution was from l 900 to
1900 volts, force which had been de-
clare to be abundant to produce instant
death. Who moved the lever, as all
things being ready, Warden Durston
stepped to the door and gave the signal,
no one who knows will tell.
An Alternating Current.
The dynamo used is constructed to gen
crate an alternating current In lay
terms it may be said that in alternating
current dynamos the electric force under
goes rapid periodic changes, being one
moment at zero, increasing TO maximum
diminishing to zero; then, reversing in di-
rection, it again rises to maximum, falls
again TO zero. The Auburn machine is
capable of about 230 of these reversals
every second, or about 14,0OO every min
ute. When applied to the criminal, as in
Reminders case, the rapidly alternating
throbs have each about the physical force
necessary to lift 1877 pounds one foot in one
second. 1t is like beating an object with
a heavy hammer alternately on each
side, with great force, very rapidly. In
the case of electrizing, the nerve cells are
believed 10 be torn from the glands, or
the ganglia disintsgrated-killed.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug THE Columbus
Daily Press last evening gave its author
ity for the statement it made on July %
that Governor Campbell said he intended
in his speech at the Lodge bill protest
meeting to say that If the bill passed he
would call out the Ohio militia to prevent
its enforcement In this state. Its story is
that its reporter, Hal ID. Landon, was told
by ex Congressman George L. Converse
that Allen w. Thurman had told him
(Converse) that he (Thurman) had been so
informed by Governor Campbell and that
the protest meeting should be postponed
to prevent the governor making such a
bad break. Both Thurman and Converse
are Democrats and were speakers at the
meeting.
1t Is Converse vs.. Thurman.
Mr. Allen w. Thurman made a state
ment for publication, which is substan-
TALLY as follows: II have read the state
ment made in The Evening Press of to-
night, and in response tharefn 7 svish 80
y. -..st-Ihav governor Campbell never
stated or suggested to me that he intended
to call out the militia of the state in case
the bill should be passed. He never stated
to me what kind of a speech he intended
to make or what he intended to say at the
meeting to be held on July IS, except that
it would be very brief, the reason for this
beng that Mr.. Converse and Capt Lee
had been chosen to make the principal
speeches, and ought to be allowed all the
time they wanted. Neither did / ever
state TO any one that Governor Campbell
ever made any such statement to me-"
Now Let's Hear from Converse.
Mr.. Converse has not yet been inter
viewed, but 1t is understood in newspaper
circles that he will say that Mr. Thurman
did tell him as stated in The Press YER

The Brain Gives Evidence of Instanta ne
Gus Paralysis.
After the execution the witnessing d oc-
tors retired for awhile, and at $50 re-
turned to perform the autopsy. The be dy
of the dead man as he sat in the execut on
chair, was rigid. The jaw had not falle
and the pleasant expression with which
Kemmler had greeted the witnesses az
he entered the execution room, still lin
gered about his features. Dr. Jenkins of
New York. was deputed to handle the
knife, and DIR. Shrady, at his own sugl,es-
ton, acted as secretary and took full notes
of the operation.
Scar on the Spine.
The clothing on the body was removed
and this revealed scar nearly five inches
in diameter where the second elactr ode
had pressed against the base of the sp ne,
showing that the current had burned
through the flesh. The body looked
healthy and we'll nourished. The first step
taken was to bind clinical THERMOMETERS
to the nape of the neck and take the tenn
perature The record demonstrated that
the man was dead beyond all question.
Removal of the Viscera.
Then DR. Jenkins took his surgeons
knife and began operations. The tody
was cut open. The heart, lungs and Other
organs were taken out and their condi-
ton noted carefully. They were all put
in Mueller's fluid for preservation ano flu
ture examination. When the orgap,s~'r
the trunk of the body had s,>,.. examined
"arssG d.. -" the Top of the skull was re-
moved and the brain taken out. This was
the most interesting feature of the OK am
ination, as the theory on which the ella inns
of greater humanity for this method of
execution are based Is the theory that the
electric current paralyzes the brain in
stantly and thus destroys all sensation.
Seems to Settle One Fact.
The physicians found evidence of
the effect of the current on the
formation of the skull, on the
blood, and on the brain tissue directly
beneath the point of contact, which salts
fed them that the paralysis of the brain
was Immediate This ended the auto psy,
and the doctors withdrew, while the body
was left in the hands of the prison au.
thorities to be bnried in the convict came

handing it over to his relatives
DIR. Shrady yesterday afternoon cram
scribed his notes and prepared them for
the signatures of the examining surgeons,
but some OF them left the city during the
afternoon, so the report will not be made
public Immediately.
DIR. Schrady's Opinion.
DR.. Schrady telegraphed an editor al to
The Medical Record, of New York, OF
which he is editor, in which, while agree
ing that death was instantaneous and
that scientifically the execution was sue
cess. he held the question of hmm anity
open, and concludes that it is no imI rove
ment on hanging. He adds to his edito
rial an argument against capital punish
ment of any kind.

The generally prevailing belief that the
time was ripe for the election OF demo-
cratic congressman in the Eleventh dis
trict, is probably responsible for the de
termined fight Mr.. Neece's friends made
to secure their favorite the nomination
They believed, and had good grounds for
believing that Mr.. Gest would never be
returned to congress. They felt that a
nomination was equivalent to an election
and therefore put forth every effort to
win. Mr.. Niece, however, accepted his
defeat gracefully. and very cordially
pledged himself to work early and late
for Mr.. Cables election. His friends did
likewise, which dissipstes the idea ad
vanced by republicans that there is any
division in the democratic ranks.
The ARGUS enters into the campaign
with an abiding faith that Mr. Cable will
be triumphantly elected. 1t believes
that the people will vote for him because
they know that he will represent them
with more ability and fsithfulness than
the present member. That he doesn't
care anything for the emoluments of the
office, but will go TO congress with the
sole purpose of serving his constituents
without fear or favor. That he will not
be controlled by the tariff bsrons and
high takers of the east. That he will be
faithful advocate of the peoples inter-
ests. That he will champion those meas
ures which will serve to ameliorate the
condition of the working classes. That
he will be the relentless foe of n onopo>
lies and trusts, and last but not least, that
he could "secure recognition from the
speaker"
