Dr. Buchanan was put to death in Sing

ness was the fact that he closed his eyes
when he entered and did not open them
again. Two contacts were made, but all
physicians and electricians claim that
the second contact was merely precau-

unpleasant features and every physi-
clan present declared the execution a
success. The body was claimed by
friends, and the case will &c down into
