Kemnller to be Demanded bs
His Brother, II IL said.
No information has reached Ashcvlls
as to the execution of the law to-day in the
case of kemmlcr sentenced to die by cleo
tricity at Auburn N. Y. this week. The
New York Sun thus reports the latest
news in this connections:
Warden Durston was vigorous in his
assertions that Kcmmlcr is as we'll
physically and mentally, as he has beer,
at any time since his confinement. No.
body believes this, and when the time
comes for kemmlcr to diciti likely there
will be a frightful scene. Nv D''rston
said that he sent out the nc ;ccs tn the
witnesses on Friday last, requesting
them to report at the prison Tuesday
night. The Warden walked off when
questioned about the condition of the
electrical apparatus. II was learned.
however, that the dynamo and its CON
nections are in good working order.
The current is not yet altogether steady,
but it is sufficiently steady to kill Il man
elect richly ne n dcnth.dc,l;nu nucnt
