Three Shocks Needed to Kill Loveland.

A grewsome sight attended the execution
of Otto Loveland, the last of the trio of
robbers who killed George Geyer, a farmer
near Alton, o., more than year ago,
which took place in the annex of the Ohio
penitentiary at Columbus. Three shocks
were necessary to produce death. After
the first shock, which failed to cause death,
it was found necessary to remove the cleo
trodes and wet the sponges. When the
second shock was administered, the full
current, 1,75O volts, was turned into the
body, which jerked and writhed under the
heavy electric force. A third shock was
administered to make the electrocution
certain. Loveland showed no signs of
