WOODS ELECTROCuTED.
Another New YORK Murderer Pays the
Penalty of His Crime-A Successful job


Another New YORK murderer Pays the
Penalty of His Crime-A Successful job
DANEEMoRA, N. Y, August at
was exactly 1880 this morning when at
the word from Warden Thayer, MUIR
derer Cal. Woods cell door was unlock
ed and the prison stepped out into the
exercising corridor upon which the con-
DENIED cell opened. The death warrant
was read to the prisoner by the Warden.
When Warden Thayer gave the word
for the prisoner to be brought out there
was grouped the reporters, physicians
and others invited to witness the eXecu-
tion. Four minutes after II o'clock,
after the witness had entered the death
room the machinery was started, the
electric current was turned on and an
instant later the two rows OF electric
test lights, placed In the death chair,
showed the deadly current was both
quick and powerful enough TO satisfac-
torily fulfill It's purpose Previous to
the test the Warden cautioned the spec
tators against any interference.
The room was entered at 11:44. The
condemned mans face was pale, and
there was the slightest tremor about
the visibly cool, compressed lips, but he
permitted no other outward sign of the
emotions with which must have tinged
his breast. When he reached the chair
the doctors stepped 10 one side and
without hesitation the prisoner said: 81
want to thank Warden Thayer for his
great kindness to me- Also my keepers.
My time on earth is not long enough TO
return my thanks 10 Judge Whitman
for his noble efforts. He has been
nearer than brother to me, and hope
he will live long time and die happy in
the end"
The religious feeling of the doomed
man found expression in these words;
81 pray that God now will give me the
strength of two men to go to meet him,
for l know / am going there. God bless
you all. May he make you all happy.
Here Woods voice trembled little,
the only indication of any lessening OF
the wonderful nerve the man had shown
and as he sat down In the chair he said
in @ strange voice: God remember
me-"
His last words were: "God bless me-"
The fatal signal was given by Keeper
Wells of Auburn prison.
Four contacts were made. The vol
tage was 1850, with average of seven.
The witnesses were then allowed TO
make an examination before the prison
er was pronounced dead. The body
was delivered to Woods wife.

Chairman Oates's Report of the Home
sJead investigation Not satisfactory to
ALI the Committee.
Special telegram to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., August AN
unusual occurrence anent the Home
stead situation was the action OF the
Homestead investigating committee in
refusing at to-day's meeting to accept
Colonel Oates's report. This report
was voluminous, and IN it was incOr-
porated the testimony taken By the com
mite. 1t went into the motives Of
the workmen and the managers but
failed to suggest a remedy for such
troubles and for this reason some of the
members of the subcommittee refused
TO agree with ii.
Mr.. Bynum stated tonight that the
question was most important and
thought the matter should be looked at
from every standpoint before conclu-
sion was reached.
This is a good deal bigger question
than we first thought it would be" said
Mr.. BYnum, "The local government are
evincing an alarming tendency to wash
their hands Of their local troubles. They
appear to be willing to grant private
firms and corporations the power OF po-
Icing their works, @ power that Is quite
likely TO be abused. Some legislation,
it seems to me, should be enacted"
The report is therefore not likely TO
be made until at the next session.
