Successful Execution of Tice at the
Auburn IN. " Prison.
Joseph l.. Tce, the Rochester wife MUIR
derer, was executed by electricity at 6:39
o'clock few mornings ago in Auburn IN.
" Prison.
The execution is considered a great sue
cess There was nothing revolving about it.
The witnesses saw no burning of flesh, no
exhalation of air from the lungs no strug-
Cling of the victim. The murderer met his
fate calmly. He was apparently unmoved
while being strapped in the chair, and he
had nothing to say at the last.
The electric current was turned into the
body four times each contact being brief.
The physician In charge believed that better
results would be obtained in this way than
with two long contacts. The complete TINA
of contact was fifty seconds.
At the request of DR.. Daniels Drs. Baker
and Irvine examined the body. They said
there was no pulsation whatever. Tice was
dead. The other physicians also examined
the body little later. Ali agreed that Tice
had passed into eternity the instant the first
contact was made. A close examination Of
the body showed no marks or burns upon it.

band with the head blown off at great dis
lance from the factory. The explosion was

revenge, and the superintendent saw them
running away from the back of the smaller
of the two buildings, in which a large
quantity of nitro glycerine was stored.
