The Medical Society OF the State of Pennsyl
vania, in session at Pittsburg this week, has
taken stand in favor of the infiction OF the
death penalty in capital cases by asphyxls-
ton, and will present the subject at the forth
coming meeting of the Nationa! Medical As
sociation. The action taken is the outcome OF
the agitation that has been going on through
ous the State to abolish hanging as means OF
putting criminals TO death. The report OF the
society's committee condemns as extra pun
ishment not intended by the law the prellm-
inaries to the ordinary scaffOld execution, and
holds that to insure the absence OF al punish
ment but death itself il is necessary that the
action OF the heart should be stlIted curing
natural sleep.
The Iethal agent selected is carbon dioxide.
or carbOnic acid gas. This is 10 be admitted
into the cell OF the condemned prisoner
through the infuent pipe of the vent1lator at
the bottom of the cell. Death will surely re-
suit IN from three to eight minutes after the
gas aScends to The level of the mouth and nose
OF the prisoner. With this agent 1t IS recon-
mended that executions be conducted in sthg
following manner: After 8 prisoner is sen
fenced by the court he or she is informed he
or she is 10 die within period of three or six
months The prisoner is confined in ting con-
demned cell, which is so arranged that the gas
may be admitted at any time. At a Ca;e 10 be
lXed by the Governor, at the discretion OF
the Snerln, the latter to be guided b. the good
health and sleep OF the prisoner the date to
remain unknown to the condemned, the gas
will be administered.
The success of the execution depends solely
upon the condition of the prisoners sleep. Ii
it be sound and healthy death will result
within Il few minutes and VIII be painless and
unattended by any excitement or narrowing
scenes.
OF course the weak point in this system is
that the "horrors of anticipation" are not re-
moved from the prisoners mind. When SEN
tence is passed he knows that he must die
within specified period, but he does not know
just when and the fear is once implanted
that each night may be his last. Some per
haps, would not care, while others would
hardly be able to obtain ''healthy sleep" un-
der the circumstances and the extra punish
ment' would be in the nature of mental tor

GREAT TRIUMPH FOR LIBERTY

The San Francisco News Letter soberly in
auices If Judge Hebbsrd is going to resign.
He is not going TO resign, but there are very
many who think he should. One does not
have to be partisan OF Mr.. Marriott to feel
gratifed that a vIndictive effort to destroy
him wholly failed. When the people re-
elected Hebbard by a preposterously large
majority ne took it that they were just as
desirous of destroying his enemies of favor
ing him. He secured action by the Grand
Jury, the presiding magistrate at the trial was
his particular friend, ana showed It, and al
together he was justified in rubbing his hands
in gIee. That he signally failed shows that
the people were mistaken in him and have
now taken his measure. The acquittal of Mar
riott was great triumph for liberty of speech,
and it ought 10 be a lesson o good men that
