HORRIBLE SCENE.

Columbus, o., June II Michael
Schiller, the wife murderer, was cleo
trocuted at 10 OF this morning. He
was twice pronounced dead but revived
and the current was turned on three
times before his heart ceased to beat.
After the first contact Schiller was
examined by four physicians and de-
clared dead and the witnesses left the
room. When the body was unstrapped
signs of life appeared and Schiller be-
gan to breathe heavily. Saliva ran
from his mouth and CULTURAL groans
sounded throughout the chamber.
Two minutes elapsed before the cur
rent could be turned on again. Mean
time the condemned man seemed to
be regaining consciousness. After a
second shock of 1,750 volts and the
body was unstrapped it fell forward
but not limp as if in death. The third
shock was then given when Schiller
was literally roasted.
