Mrs. Place went to her death calmly.
With her when she entered the death room
were Warden Sage, on whose arm she
leaned heavily, her aged spiritual adviser,
the Rev. DR.. David Cole, of Yonkers; q
woman physician, one Of the matrons Of
the prison, and two keepers. Mrs. Place
wore the black gown that she had made to
wear at her expected new trial. One hand
held Il small prayer book. The woman's
eyes were closed, but she held her head
erect, Her lips moved in prayer.
Mrs. Place was led to the chair, which
was at the west end OF the room. She was
backed up to it. AS the bent OF her knees
touched the edge OF the chair she sat back
and then the two women stood in front OF
her shielding her from the sight of the wit
nesses while the electrodes were adjusted
by the men. These electrodes were adj
justed exactly as in the ease OF men con.
demned to death. The WORK Of flxing them
did not occupy a second over a minute and
a half.
All this time Mrs. Place kept her eyes
closed. Now and then there was a move
ment OF her lips, and once she murmured
"God lave mercy" 1t was hardly loud
enough to be heard. 1t was not heard ex-
cept by those who stood very close to her.
Then the Warden beckoned them to step
back and they moved away about five feet.
The other witnesses, except the prison
physician and the guards, were seated
along the wall on three sides of the room.
The guards stepped back, and as they did
the current was turned on. There was not
q movement of the body-not a culver.
Not half the witnesses In the room knew
that the shock had been given, so quick
and silent was it.
1t was exactly 11.01 o'clock when this
happened, and before the witnesses real
ICED what was happening it was all over
with Mrs. Place.
The voltage the electrician had used was
1850, and hat lasted but four seconds.
During these four seconds the hands OF
the woman were elenched. In one hand
she held a Testament. At the end of four
seconds the current was reduced to $50
volts, and 1T remained at that force for
ffty-six seconds. One minute was the
total time taken. The current was then
turned of entirely.
The Penn's Grove record., 1899-03-24

A representative of The New York Votes
asked OF several business men, well known
and highly esteemed in New York 4
mercial circles, their Views upon tr~3 use
Of liquor by business men and their en-
ployes. The answer given by all of them
showed marked hostility to drinking habits,
and many of them remarked upon the
change that has come to pass in the bust
ness world in this respect within the last
few years. The old custom Of treating,
that used to play so large a part Ii me
transaction of large wholesale deals with
out-of-town customers, they all agreed has
largely disappeared.
Among the men with whom The New
York Voice representatiyetalked WAS Henry
Clews, one of the most widely known inan-
cial operators in the city. Mr.. Clews said:
Drinking dwarfs mems abilities, makes
them e%rratic, and interferes with good
Judgment. 1t makes them see things With
adlstorted mental vision and leads them in
to disastrous enterprises. Competition is 50
keen to-day that a man must keep his head
cool end his Judgment u~nImpatred in order
to protect his own and his customers in
terests. Drink makes a man see either the
brightest or the gloOmiest side of things,
which is dangerous. On the STOCK EN'
change TO-DAY q man who drinks habit
ually is apt to be avoided, where a few
years age the fault was overlooked. Bust
ness to-day is conducted on a different
basis from that Of twenty years back. 1t
was then thought that If a man was con-
vivial and made friends, business would be
Induced; and some Of the houses in the
"Street" used to have drinking" part
ners" to AXE customers out and treat
them; but such Il thing is not known any
more. 1t is no longer necessary for q
broker to open wine for his customers; in
fact, such a course is to-day regarded with
suspicion. Men are apt to think less OF Il
man for putting temptation in their way"
Mr.. Clews, who is familiar with the social
custom of the best families OF the city,
also expressed his opinion that the con-

The Murderer Also Set Fire to the House
to Conceal the Crime.

to conceal inc tfliue.
HUroH1ssox, Kan. tSpeclaD.-John A,
Moore killed his five children while they
were sleeping q few nights ago and then
burned the house. The murderer is under
arrest. The children were Carl Moore,
aged twelve; Mary, aged ten; Pearl, aged
eight; Charlie, aged seven, and Lee, aged
three years.
The house in which Moore lived in was
discovered on FIRE at 2 o'clock in the
morning. When the flames were gotten
under control and the firemen entered the
five children were found lying side by side
on a bed. The lower parts OF their oodies
were badly burned. 1t was at first thought
they had died from sutfocatioE, but blood
was found on the bedclothes, II when
physicians examined the bodies they found
the skull Of each fractured. with one ex-
ception each child had a cut in the neck,
evidently made by a knife. At the inquest
the father declared the are started from a
lamp left burning low IN the cnlureh
room.
When the doctors testified that the
children had evidently <been murdered
Moore gave close attention, but his
couutenance did not change. once or
twice he sneered at the evidence. When
the verdict Of the jury was brought In
charging him with the crime he still acted
indifferently. He refused to talk and was
taken to the County jail. The mother OF
the children was away from home during
the night nursing a sick nelghbor. she
can give no reason for her husbands deed.
Moore came here from Emporia three
weeks ago, and has been out OF work. he
spent lasr summer farming In Oklahoma.
His wife's father, N. W. Franklin, lives
here. but the family know little about
Moore, He has never shown any symptoms
OF insanity, so far as can be learned.
