THE SUPREME COURT.
The Question of Legality Of
Electrocution.
FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Counsel for a Japanese Murderer
Say That Kemmler's Death
Was Cruel.

WAsHrSdToN, Nov. 2l.-Tho case of
the japanese murderer, jug 70, SEN
fenced to death by electricity in New
York, was argued before the United
states supreme court to-day.
Mr.. Sherman, who was counsel for
kemmler, represented Jugiro, basing the
application for u writ Of habeas corpus on
the ground that the execution of kemm-
Ter demonstrated that electrocution WAS
not an instantaneous and painless death,
and violates the federal constitution
forbidding cruel and unusual punish
ment. Sherman spoke at length, read
ing newspaper reports about the death
of Kemmler. He asserted there was
grave doubt whether artiiicial electricity,
generated under present scientific con-
ditions, invariably caused immediate
death.
Mr.. Sherman was frequently inter
rupted with questions by Justices Field
and Brewer. The forner suggested that
persons had been killed in short time
by accidental contact with electric light
wires.
Mr.. Sherman narrated the case of the
line man who did not die in short
time, although receiving a shock Of
2 600 volts.
Attorney General Tabor of New York
state, replied. He declared tho kemmler
case and the practical execution law
settled the whole question constitutions
ulity. As he understood 1t, either hang
ing or electricity had too much cruelty
in IL to suit counsels.

ton that q rail had been removed that
the structure had fallen on account of
aeo and weakness of parts. The bents,
considering the nature OF the ground, It
being DOGGY and spongy, were too wide
apart, and the ties were too widely
spaced. The guard rails were In a state
OF decay and but few properly fastened,
and so frail us to afford no safeguard.
Much of the timbers in the bents,
especially the caps and sills. had more

securely Draced.
some of tho piles supporting the
bents were SO unsound that many OF
the stringer bolts had been allowed to
become loosened. For these reasons the
structure was found not to have been
sufficiently strong TO sustain the weight

PITrsBuRG, Nov. 20.-At to-day's ses-

G. T. U. Mrs. Foster, chairman of the
committee on the revision of the consti-
tuition, reported a number of important
changes. The report occasion ed a heat
ed discussion, but was finally adopted.
The following ofli GERS were elected Z:
President, Mrs. Phnney, Clevcl and I;
vice president, Mrs. Harriet q. Walker,
Minnesota; general secretary, Miss f..
Jenny Duty, Cleveland; recording secre-
tary, Mrs. Florence Miller, Iowa; finan-
cial secretary and treasurer, Mrs. q. q.
Afford, New York.
Mrs. Ellen Z. Phinny, of Cleveland
was elected president; Mrs. Harriet
Walker Minnesota, vice president; Miss
Duty, Cleveland, general secretary. a
number OF other secretaries were elec ted.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster was elected secre-
declined, but her declination was not
received, aud she was given until to-
morrow to reconsider.
The outcome of the election, how
ever, was fierce indignation meeting,
in which the convention as u whole
joined, after the appearance Of the after
noon papers.
The Indignation grew from a head line
statement to the effect that Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster voted for herself during the
presidential balloting.
DenunciatOry resolutions were finally
toned down until one was finally passed,
which denied the statement.
