They say all white men will be turned into

Ihs Validity Of tho Elsotrocution Law

WASHINGTON. Nov. N.-The case OF the
japanese murderer, Jugiro, sentenced to
death BY electricity in New York, was
argued before the United States supreme
court to-day. Sherman, who was counsel
for Ksmmler. represented Jugiro, basine
the application for writ Of habeas corpus
on the ground that the execution OF Ke,nm-
ler had demonstrated that electrocution
was not instantaneous and painless death
and violates the provision Of the federal
constitution forbiddinR cruel and unusual
punishment. Sherman spoke at length,
reading newspaper reports about the death
Of Kemmler. He asserted there was grave
doubt a. to whether artificial
electricity generated under the pres
ent scientific conditions would invariably
cause immediate death. Sherman was FREE
quently interrupted with questions by JUS
tices Field and Brewer. When the FORMER
suggested that persons had been killed in
. abort time by accidental contact with
electric light wires, Sherman narrated the
case Of lineman WOO did not die In a
short time, although receiving shook Of
1900 volts. Attorney General Tabor. Of
New York state, replied. He declared thnt
the kemmler case and the practical execu-
tion OF the law settled the whole question
Of constitutionality. Al he understood il,
either hanging or electricity had too much
cruelty in 1t TO suit counsel for murderers.
