Mr. Chaplin had been one of the leading
revolutionists agains. the empire, and that
his services had been not only recognized
but that suitable rewards were offered him
by the newly-created republican Govern
ment. These he declined, being averse to
holding public office, and having only
given his services 10 the lniantlle republic
from motives of pure patriotism alone.

THE METHOD HUMANE
"ELEcTRocUTloN" "QUIcK, CERTAIN,
AND ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS.
Testimony to This Effect from Experts
The Evening Worlds Statement
Pronounced False.
rBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l

BUFFALO. n. Y. July 9.--Dr. Southwick
and DR.. Daniels, both of whom witnessed
the Kemmler execution, returned to-day
from Sing Sing, where they witnessed the
electrocution Of tho four murderers.
THE executions were q success in every
way" said DR.. Southwick, and there
was not the slightest hitch. Electric execu-
ton has come to stay. These executions
have demonstrated that the method Is
humane"
do you say oil four died instantly? ?"
"Yes. sir. They died the instant that
the current reached them. IL was abso-
lutely painless death"
WHY THE SECOND sHocK2
"Whv was the second shock given 2"
ITO prevent the muscular exhibition
that was noticed at Kemmlers execution
WAS there any burning of the fesh?"
There was not. There was slight
scsld. raising a white blister, and that was
ALL"
He Denounced the Ercning Worlds state
ment that Smiler's body when 1t reached
New York showed burns asadownright lie.
How can you be sure. Doctor, that the
men died instantly"
SATISFACTORY TEST.
"rll tell you one very satisfactory test.
Slocum was praying when he died. So
was Wood. The others said no.
thing. But | particularly observed
Slocum. He was saving. Lord, have mer-
cy on my soul when he received the
shock. He had just said the word my
and started TO say soul The sibilant
sound of the s. was made, but the word
soul was never uttered. The syllable
was cut in two"
ANOTHER INDICATION"
continued DR.. Southwick, was the ap-
pearance Of the mems features at death.
They were undisturbed. | suggested that
they should close their eyes, so that the
salt water from the electrode on their
foreheads should not run into their eyes
and give them needless pain. They did
close their eyes. That action made GER
tain contraction of the features. That
contraction was there after the men were
taken from the chair. There was not a
single person who saw the executions but
said they were instantaneous and painless
and humane method of producing death.
Sixteen hundred volts were given"
AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS.
"The executions were an unqualified
success in every way" SAID DR.. Daniels.
1.-The men had no sensibility of pain and
they died instantly. The executions de-
monstrated that the electric method is
quick, painless, and humane. There were
no sounds no burning. no odor of burn
ing flesh, nothing whatever that would
revolt any spectator"
DR.. Daniels also spoke of one of the
men praying and reaching the Kissing
sound of -" when the shock came. 1T
cut the syllable IN two" he SAID; mot
another sound came from him. look
upon that as a supreme test"
