WHY NOT GAS?

DIR. Gibbons is probably quite
safe in expressing his willing
ness to take the risk CT having
$500 volts of elccrity pass through
his body, because of his belief
that such a current will not kill.
1t is hardly within the range Of
possibility that any man can be
found who would apply the
shock, with the almost ~ s1htn
certainty Of being indicted after
for premediated murder. Dr..
Gibbons believes that persons
placed in the death chair are OF
killed by the electrical current
passed through them, but that. Il
suspension OF the vital functions
only is caused, and that death fol-
lows in such cases by the use Of
the surgeons knife. There are
probably few who are willing to
subscribe to this idea, yet to sat
isfy those few Dr Gibbcns's other
expressed desire TO make a
thorough test on Il condemned
criminal ought TO Toe granted.
The Eastern press is discussing
the horrible effect of electricity,
its torture and its uncertainty.
The shortest and simplest death
for the criminal is by asphyxia-
tiCn.
Let the criminal be placed in a
small room air tight With q glass
door TO enable the attendance to
see him constantly.
Tie him in the death chair turn
a stop clock and food the appart-
ment with deadly gas, the kind
that has killed so many miners
on the Comstock, and in a few
seconds the men would be dead.
Men in the lower levels who have
tapped bulk-Leads and been over
powered by the gas have died
