KEMMLER'S FATE.

The Supreme Court Dscides That He Must
Die by Electricity.
WASHINGTON. May 23.-The Supreme
Court denies the writ of error in the case Of
Kemmler. He must die by the electric
method. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the
opinion cf the court, which says that the
New York Legislature and the New York
courts carefully considered the question as
to whether death by electricity was lnhu-
man and cruel, and decided it was not as
much so as death by hanging and other
methods which have long been employed
by the civilized world. The opinion called
attention to the fact that the New York
Constitution and the United States Consti-
tuition are nearly identical. 1t discussed
the Fourteenth Constitutional Amendment
as to citizenS' rights but held that it does
not warrant interference. Such unusual
and cruel punishments as burning at the
stake, disembowelment, or other torture,
would not be recognized by the law of
civilized nations, but there seems to be no
evidence that death by electricity is more
cruel than the methods recogn lied by the
Constitution; therefore, the writ of error is
denied.
