the station. On the face of it there docs
not appear to have been anything illegal ia
Commander Clarke's action. Tue captains

Commander Clarke, which, though, un-
doubtedly within the letter of

Montevideo for England on Oct. 10. Com

to find himself famous; but it may te ques-

Whisperings That the Condemned Men
Did Not Instantly Die-Doctors
Are Silent.

SING SING, n. y, July -Four muir
derers were put to death by electricity in
the state prison here early this morning
for the crime of murder. The men were
James J. Slocum, who killed his wife at
: Cherry street, Dec. 81, 1889; Harris A.
Smiler, ex-Salvation army captain and
bigamist. who murdered his second wife
on April 3. 1889. at % Seventh avenue;
Joseph Wood, a negro acqueduct laborer,
who murdered a fellow-laborer, an l al
ian named Carlo Rutfy, in May. 1889, and
Shibuya Jugiro, an ignorant japanese
sailor who brutally killed a fellow coun-
tryman. Mury Canni. in a James street
boarding house. The execution of the
four men is declared to have been per-
fectly successful and without any of the
horrors attending the execution of the
murderer kemmler at the Auburn
prison. There are. however. statements
from witnesses which do not confirm the
assertions by the officials. The first vic
tim to take his seat in the electrical
chair was Slocum; he was put to death
at l:i2 a. m. Next came Smiler who
died at 5:13. Wood was number three.
at DBL, and Jugiro followed at 600.
