ALLIANCE, Ohio, July 6.-The horri
BILE wreck at Ravenna Friday is still the
topic Of conversation. The inquest wa:
resumed this morning, but nothing i'm
portant was learned. Today considera
bic excitement was occasioned by the
report that Conductor Boynton's report
OF tickets showed thirteen people YET
unaccounted for. Though some may have
left without making themselves known
Conductor BoYnton is of the opinion
that others were entirely censu ned in
the fire, and that his son who was the
negligent tiagmap, supposed to be the
cause of the wreck, was one of the vic.
tins. The inquest may develop some
sensational facts. Those who visited
the wreck Friday, noticed pieces OF
burnt flesh lying about the ruins toe
small to be identified as belonging to
any part Of the human body.

SING SING, July 7.-Slocum was select.
ed as the first victim, anu he stepped
out of kis cell with alacrity. The exc
cutioner was heard to rise from his
chair in the closet and place himself
ready 10 do his duty, and with an at
tempt at smile Slocum seated himself
in a chair and leaned his head back
against the rubber rest as though he
was simply preparing to be shaved. The
forced smile rem aimed on his face while
Connaughton began fastening the
straps which crossed and recrossed the
body and legs until they were tightly
bound, then his arms were fastened and
Slocum could no longer move a muscle.
Finally the oddly arranged set of
straps that bound the chair in one POSI-
ton and covered the eyes were put in
place, and the positive electrode was
put to Slocum's head, the same as in
the Kemmler electrocution. The mega
tive electrode was then attached to the
right leg, the pants having been rolled
up for that purpose before Slocum was
bound in the chair. When the electrodes
were adjusted and wires attached and
registered 1000 volts, Professor Landy
grasped the switch which turned the
current into the wires in the cleo
trocutioner's closet. Warden Brown
raised his hand and Professor Landy
turned the switch, Then the warden
tapped on the closet and an unknown
person inside gave a quick pull to the
lever and the electrode fluid was releas
ed and sped through Slocum's body.
There was not a tremor of the body
and when Professor Lundy turned off
the current Slocum sat rigid and lifeless
in the chair. When the electrodes were
removed it was discovered that the
skull and flesh of the leg had been
slightly burned, but there was no smell
of roasting flesh, such as made the Kem-
mler electrocution so horrible.
Smiler did not hesitate when told his
hour had come, but when the death
chair appeared before him his knees
knocked together, and but for the sup
port Of his spiritual adviser he would
certainly have fallen. Warden Brown
quickly read the death warrant and he
was hastily seated. His face took on q
CHASTITY hue, and he was bound and the
electrodes applied, and in few seconds
Smiler was dead.
Wood betrayed no emotion when he
gazed upon the chair but kept his eyes
on the crucifix. He sat In the chair
and the binding was accom-
plished so quickly that it was only
twenty-tour minutes from the time Of
Smiler's entrance until Wood was also
dead.
1t was now becoming easy to kill and
the witnesses displayed no emotion.
There was nothing to cause nausea and
death came to the victim SO quickly
that it was all over before they realized
it.
Jugiro at first refused to leave his
cell, but when Connaughton told him to
come on and be a brave man, the Jap
walked out Very quickly, twosadGition al
keepers marching one on each side of
him. lie did not seem to comprehend
the purpose of the chair and seated
himself without protest. The. current
was allowed to remain ON the Jap's
body about three seconds longer than
On the others, accordingly his skull
and legs were more strongly marked
Oy the electrodes.
