ALBANY, Nov. 11.-Governor Flower is
wiling to allow experts to make test to
ascertain whether a man killed in the
electrical chair can be resuscitated. Ever
since the adoption OF execution by cleo
tricity by tho State the Westinghouse
people, whose dyuamos are used, have
declared that electricity was not the cause
OF death, but that death was assured by
the holding of an autopsy directly after
the body had been taken from the cleo
trIcai chair. No less authority than
Nicolas Tesla, the famous electrician,
contended that he could bring back to
life man killed in an electrical char,
provided the attempt was made imme-
dlately after the execution. George West
lnghouse has always asserted that elec-
trical death was q shame. and New
\ ork commission, headed by Il. T. Gerry,
has asked to be allowed to inquire into
the method of execution, the next to be
used as subject to be experimental
upon. The Governor says he will grant
permission.
