Electrical Executions.

ALBANY, Feb. 12.-Wednesday morning
the commission to test the electrical execu-
ton apparatus in state prisons will make
their report to Superintendent of State Pris-
ons Lnthrop. DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald is
he president Of the commission.
The report is quite yoluminous. Tho COM
mittee was delayed in It's investigation by
the fact that in none of the prisons WAS the
pparatus found to he in readiness, and much
time was lost in arranging pulleys and
wires.
The questions to be solved were, in the
main, whether tho apparatus would kill, and
also what number Of volts were necessary
md what kind of wire should be used. 1t
was found that German silver wire proved
O be the best, and that about 800 volts was
he maximum needed for horses and large
nimals and about 400 volts as a maximum
or smaller animals.
At Auburn horse and a calf were sue
essfully experimental upon, and efforts
nade by DR.. Fell. Of Buffalo, by the aid OF
improved machinery, to resuscitate the ami
nal failed entirely, thus proving conclusive
y that it was not case OF suspended ani-
nation. The committee experimental in q
ihe uuouuel VIII eaSu dppdiuluS uhu q
similar result was obtained. The number
IT volts attainable in each prison-Sing
.lng, Auburn and Dahnemara-were fur il
1cess of that required.
The committee In conclusion find that, in
their opinion, each one of the apparatuses
can be used successfully, and that death by
electricity can DO accomplished within four
.econds There is, in their opinion, no cause
TOR imagining that there will ever be any
failure of results
