horrible bunglng that attended the execution OF
the murderer Taylor at Auburn on Thursday was
really a step in the right direction A few
such performances this and capital punishment

counts OF the manner in which the unfortunate
negro was done to death sent thrill of horror
through the entire country. The electric current
was turned on, but while the man was still alive
the dynamo gave out. that he slowly came
back into state OF being in which he could
breathe heavily and groan and finally had TO be
carried away on stretcher and quieted with
morphine. An hour later second current was
sent through him and he died Whether this
shocking spectacle due to lack OF sufficient
precaution in preparing for the execution. or
whether 1t was caused by some unavoidable de-
feet in the apparatus of death remains TO be
shown. The matter is demanding immediate
investigation. II IL is proven that the prison an
thorIties are to blame. the entire civilized hu
manity will unanimously condemn such shocking
negligence IT, on the other hand. II turns ont IN
be due to the fact that as yet unable to
control the electric current, then the law sbouli
