THE GARRoTE IN MANILA.

High Sheriff May be Compelled to Use
1t at An Execution.
High Sheriff Peterson is wondering
how 1t feels to garrote a man, says
the Manila New American The sub
ject was suggested to him by the dis
covery that there was a murder case
on the docket of Judge Odlin's court
and that the mode of punishment pre-
scribed by the Spanish code, under
which the courts are now operated, is
death in the chair.
The murderer is Lorenzo Antiparde,
charged with killing native police
man last September in Tondo. If con-
victed and condemned to death, so the
learned say, there is but one way to
carry out the sentence: Section 101 OF
the code reads: "The penalty of death
shall be executed by garrote upon
scaffold."
The subject seemed to prey upon the
sheriff's mind all day yesterday. He
wore preoccupied look and at times
was seen to give his hands sharp
twisting motion, followed by look
of shock and disgust, as in the imag-
ination he heard the neck crack or
listened to the strangled victims dy-
ing struggle for breath.
Opinions differed as to the form of
the machine by which the death pen
atty was executed in years gone by.
Originally it consisted of chair with
an upright post for a back. To this
was attached an iron collar, which
fitted around the criminals neck.
Through the post passed screw, the
point of which pressed upon the back
of the nesk of the man in the chair.
One turn of the crossbar handle of
this screw forced the point through
the cervical vertebrae of the con-
demned and killed him instantly
This was the machine used in Cuba
Spanish lawyers say that in the Phil
ippines the apparatus differed in that
the pointed screw and collar were alb
sent. The back post had broad
board behind the head. through two
holes in which passed ropes. The
ends of the ropes were fastened to
short board, narrow enough to pass
under the chin and cover the throat.
The other ends of the rope wound
round a drum, and when this was
turned the throat piece was drawn
back till the victims wind was shut
off and strangulation followed. II
properly worked the shock killed IN
stantly or rendered the man uncon-
scious. but If the executioner faltered
slow death by suffocation ensued and
the struggles of the unfortunate were
terrible to witness and listen to.

Divorce Law Unchanged.

The effort made by a powerful ele-
ment in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United States to effect
change in its laws 'ea wit divorce
has failed, after a m st exhaustive dis
cussion of the matter in the conven-
tion held in San Francisco. At pres
ent the church legalizes the marriage
of divorced person where the cause
for the separation is the statutory law
of this state-namely adultery. The
proposed law would deny remarriage
while either party to the original mar
riage contract was living. For the
proposed amendment powerful voices
were raised: but fear of its effect, II
adopted. coupled with belief on the
denying remarriage to the innocent
victim of another's sin, defeated the
part of some of the injustice of
measure
The Episcopal church thus main
tains its original position relative to
the evil of divorce. That II is a grow
ing evil is indisputable. Divorces are
increasing so rapidly. are being grant

SUSPICIOUS ARE AROUSED.
BY Deaths of Four Persons i'm One
Family in n Month.

Boston, Aug. 31.-A special from
Catamuet to the Herald says
1T is rather unusual for four persons
in one family to meet death within a
period of one month. Yet this occurred
in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Alden P.
Davis and their two daughters, Mrs.
Irving Gibbs and Mrs Harry Gordon,
the latter of Chicago, the deaths taking
place only a few weeks ago.
Some one started a rumor that these
persons, or at least two OF them, did
not die from natural causes. Finally
the district attorney ordered an inves-
tigation and Joseph Whitney of the
state police force was instructed to
conduct an autopsy on the bodies of
Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Gibbs. An UNI
dertaker exhumed the bodies yester-
day and an autopsy was held in the
presence of Medical Examiner Faunce,
State Detective Whitney, Prof Whitney
and Prof. Wood of Harvard College.
while Prof. Wood had undoubtedly
been requested by Paul Gibbs to attend
the autopsy. he was also present as an
expert employed by the state and to his
custody were entrusted the organs OF
the two bodies for chemical analysis.
This, in the minds of many, shows that
the authorities are looking for poison.
The fact that the Jacin House, which
was the home of the Davis family, was
set on fire five times during the inter-
val between the death of Mrs. Davis
and her younger daughter, is consid-
cred as having an important bearing
on the case.
whether the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis are to be exhumed depends on
the result OF the autopsy held yester-
day. The result of the autopsy per-
formed will not be made known for
eeveral DAYS"
