KemmIer VIII he tho First 10 Try
ElectrocutIon.

ALBANY, n. Y, July 17.--Governor Hill
has commuted the sentence of Joseph
Chapleau to one of imprisonment for life,
thus leaving Kemmler TO be the first per.
son TO be electrocuted. Chapleau was 10
have been executed some time next week.
The governor says: "This application for
executive clemency is based upon a petit
tion signed by many Of the leading citi.
zens of Clinton county, including nearly
all the county officials The county judge
strongly favors the application. The dis
trict attorney does not oppose IT, The
twelve jurymen who rendered the verdict
against the defendant unanimously unite
In asking for commutation.
while the evidence clearly establishes
the killing by the defendant, yet there re-
mains some doubt as to the degree of his
guilt and the extent of his responsibility
for his acts at the time. II must be con.
ceded that 2 verdict Of murder in the second
degree would have been a safer and more
satisfactory verdict
The previous good character and ex-
emplary life Of the defendant should also
have some weight in case OF this eharac-
ter where different constructions OF the de-
fendant's acts are possible II is clear that
all the evidence was not fully developed
upon the trial, and the defendants case
was TO some extent prejudiced thereby BY
reason Of these and other facts which have
been reasonably well established before
me, am convinced that the ends OF JUS
tice will be better subserved BY comma-
tation Of the sentence to Imprisonment for
life"
AS will be remembered Chapleau killed
Ira Erwin Tabor, a neighbor, with whom
he had a great deal Of trouble, near Plntts.
burg, n. y, Jan. 2s, 1889 Tabor had re-
peatedly insulted Chapleau and ridicued
him for being pea soup Frenchman. .
The long series Of insults were ended one
day when Tabor met Chapleau on the road
and ordered him out of the way with an
oath. Chapleau seized a stake from his
wagon and beat Tabor's brains out.
