to be independent of hotels, to be on

this desire he went to see his friend

and explained his project. Hold"

that three or six rowers could be
used, and sail at will. At the
stern was to be placed cabin in pine

In, with lockers on each side to con-

visions, and artists materials. Thus
equipped, with plentiful supply Of
provisions on board, and accompanied
by his son Karl, other pupils, or

BILE for the spectators to observe Il e
effect of the electric current on that
part of the mans body. AS the
electricity entered the leg just
under the mans knee the ankle
suddenly twisted over at violent
angle as though the bone had been
broken.
1t retained that deformed posi-
ton after death as the body lay
upon the dissecting table. The leg
uecame suffused with dark pur-
pie color marked with a bright
white spot on the knee-pan.
The cantact in this second in
stance lasted SO seconds according
to official time-from ID minutes
% seconds to 10 minutes So Sec
onds past II.
When the current was turned off
the body again collapsed, and this
time the physicians felt certain the
man was dead. They were right.
He was dead, but the effect pro-
duced on those who witnessed the
killing was certainly not that
which was anticipated by those
whose sympathy made electrical
killing a law. To these instant
humiliation had been quoted-the
instantaneous death without
movement which follows a stroke
of lightning.
DR.. Macdonald announced that
there was no question that death
had been absolutely instantaneous
at the first contac t.; that the strug-
giles which followed were merely
the result of muscular action pro.
duced by the electric current, and
that the second contact was made
simply as an extra precaution. He
was to asked explain why, if that
was SO, he had condemned the
method Of contact with the hands
used in the first instance, but did
not reply.
In repeating his assertions that
death had been instantaneous at
the first contact he requested that
all the physicians present should
make test before the body was
removed from the chair and assure
themselves that the subject was
actually dead. He said he felt
sure that every doctor present
would agree that the first contact
had killed the man instantly, and
requested any doctor with different
views to express them.
At this DR.. T. S. Robertson, of
New York, spoke up~ and declared
hat he did not believe the result
% have been instantaneous death.
The man, he thought, had been
'endered unconscious by the first
shock, but it took both shocks to
ill him. He further expressed
lis opinion that the death cham

traps, was not the place for a
cientific discussion.

Killed by Electricity. :
DEATH NOT INSTANTANEOUS.
Signs Of Life Apparent After the First
Shock Electricity No improvement
Over Hemp.

At 11:1O the iron door leading te
the condemned's cell was thrown
open. The warden of the prison
removed the cigar from his mouth
put his hat on one of the little
stools and stepped inside the door,
turning as he went to recommend
silence and self-restraint. There
came sound of a peculiarly heavy
shutting step on the stone floor and
McElvaine, the man who was to be
killed, stood in the doorway.
With him came two priests, one
on each side, the keepers who had
had him in charge and the. head
keeper.
At the side Of man per fectly
helpless, with overwhelming odds
against him, about to be killed,
every man feels compassion and a
strong sense of cowardly unfairness.
The crime the man committed and
by which he canned the death pen
atty is forgotten at such a time.
Everybody stared intently at the
murderer as he walked into the
room. He was small man, unus-
uallY short, with yellow-white
face, almost like a Japanese in
complexion, small, bright brown
and closely cropped brown hair.
He was dressed in new suit pro-
vided by the prison and made by
the convicts--a black coat and
waistcoat and trousers of black and
blue stripes, of fine material. The
coat was new, but the trousers were
worn at the knees. The priests
working 10 save his soul kept him
kneeling in prayer on the floor of
his cell.
After very short delay he was
moved backward t. wards the chair
and sat III it without Offering the
resistance, constantly NUT
tering devotional phrases.
First strap was passed across
his chest. AS they started to sieze
his arms and fasten his hands into
reservoirs of lukewarm water, he
violently freed his right hand and
without word put it to his mouth
md, with report which sounded
very loud in the stiffness, threw a
Kiss to the men watching him.
Then he submitted to having his
lands fastened by the strong straps
nto the warm water.
To the calf OF his right leg was
applied a sort of pad, covered with

and unable to endure suspense any
longer, shouted with a loud, clear
voice:
''Let her gop'
That was genuine cry from Me-
Elvaine's heart. Whatever may
have been the character of his
religious feeling, the last words he
uttered on this earth certainly "a

THE DEATH-DEAL1NG CURRENT is
TURNED ON.
AS he started to speak the War
den waved a Handkerchief. The
last word was hardly out of his
mouth before the murderer straight
cned up in his chair, his whole body
convulsed and rigid. In obedience
to the warden's signal the current
had been turned on. Sixteen hun
dred volts of electricity were going
through his body, not in one con-
tinuous current, but in a succession
of inconceivably rapid shocks, 800
to the second. The current was
turned on at II minutes and 40
seconds after II, according to the
official time as announced by the
physicians. 1t was continued for
exactly fifty seconds. A signal
was given and the current turned
off.
The current struck the man pre-
cisely as he shut his mouth after
he said the word ''go." While the
contact lasted the mouth gradually
opened. The lips became purple
and swollen and the mouth dis
torted, drawn down to one corner
as man of McElvaine's stripe
would unconsciosly drawn it down
to indicate scorn or anger.
When the current was turned off
the mans entire body collapsed
utterly. The head fell over on his
breast, the backbone caved in and
he would have fallen forward but
for the straps that restrained him.
Froth gathered on his lips and
smoke or steam issued from the
reservoirs in which the hands had |
'eceived the electric current.
The CURRENT TURNED OFF, AND
GRoAN IS HEARD.
The doctors apparently thought
he man absolutely dead. But in
few seconds, to everybody's hor-
or, the body half Strengthened up,
he chest heaved, saliva poured
rom the mouth and a loud, groan-
ng sound, almost cry, came from

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has re,
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehanna County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
DO, so, 12o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, At which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cfpsl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser tg to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual tnstallments, with in
terest at the rate Of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over q period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other graded Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
peoially adapted for fruitgrewing, cannot be
had In California for less than from SEQ TO
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject Of this advertisement Wiz prove TO
oome-seekers that this is an opportunity for
tho purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, Oh terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
BODY OF land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
hement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
