DYING man ON
-
M0NTCLA|R TRACK
Man with Skull Crushed in Ex-
pires, Surrounded by
Mystery.

Mystery surrounds the finding Of an
injured man who died before medical
aid could reach him on the tracks of
the Greenwood Lake branch of the
Erie railroad at North Fullerton ave-
nue., Montclair, early today by the
crew of an eastbound train. The name
of the dead man was Nicolo Farrante,
a driver, who lived at 10 Frink street,
Montclair, with his brother, Antonio
F%arrante.
The police of Montclair are investi-
eating the case. The body was taken
to Orange, where an autopsy will be
performed to determine the cause of
death. Chief Henry Gallagher, Detec-
tive Sergeant Edward Reilly and
Patrolman Harry MArtin. of the Mont
clair force. have the case in charge.
George Merrill, engineer of the train,
and George Richardson, fireman.
whose train was due at Montclair sta
ton at 6:15 a. M, both declare that
as they rounded the curve about a half
mile from the station, they saw man
lying with his head on the track. They
pulled up the train and found that the
man was unconscious, with a large
hole in the badk of his head. His
lunch box was lying by his side.
They put the injured man in the
baggage car, but he died before the
station was reached. j. w. Elliott was
conductor of the train.
The man was later identified as Far
rante. The body was sent to Kuhn's
morgue, Orange, BY order of Deputy
County, physician Herbert Simmons,
where an autopsy. will be held.
Farrante was employed as a driver
at the stone, quarries Of the Osborne s.
Marcellus Company at Upper Montclair,
ana left his home this morning at $3.50
o'clock to proceed to his work, taking
the railroad tracks, as was his custom
every morning. One theory of the affair
is that he tripped and that the wound
in the head was caused by striking the
rail. There had been no train passing
along the tracks from $40 o'clock, ten
minutes before Farrante left his home,
until the train, the crew Of which
picked him up, came along. The other
theory is that he was set upon by
enemies and beaten.

PATRICK LEAVES
PRISON To PLEAD
: CASE FOR HIMSELF
Lawyer Says He Should Be
Either Electrocuted or Given
His Freedom.

NEW YORK. March ALBERT Pat
rick, serving a life sentence for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, the
aged millionaire, was taken from Sing
Sing prison this morning before the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, in Brooklyn. where he hopes to
argue his own case.
Patrick does not believe there will be
an objection to his argument on the
writ of habeas corpus, granted recently
by Justice Gaynor, and he believes also
that he can show the court that he
either deserves death in the electric
chair or freedom.
Patrick, whel sentenced to death, got
a stay, and then made such a plausible
appeal to the Court of Appeals when he
was permitted to speak, and to Gov
ernor Higgins, that he was sent to
prison for life.
Patrick contends that Governor Hig-
gins's act In committing his sentence
from death to life Imprisonment in 1906
wI Illegal; that Governor Higgins had
no right to substitute one punishment
for another. He says:
"If I was guilty I deserved electrocu-
ton. and nc one had = legal right to
impose another penalty"
Patrick claims that the Communication
of sentence vas executed without his
knowledge o~reconsent. Then he adds:
1.-THE court which found me guilty
cou< not have sentenced me to life i'm
.prisonment legally; therefore, the act
of the Governor was not constitutional
when he changed the sentence Of death
to that of life Imprisonment"

ity, Kill the Condemned Grim
inals of the State.

To prove that the electric current
used in the death-house in Trenton is
not sufficient to kill men of unusual re-
sisting powers, Charles Quill yesterday
gave an exhibition In New York in which
he was subjected to a current Of 1900
volts while sitting In a. duplicate Of
the New Jersey chair and emerged
nervous but. unframed. ,
Quilts exhibition upholds the ~conten-
ton of the doctor who sought permis-
sion to try to revive John Montesano,
the murderer OF Edith Pickett, Of Cald-
well, who was executed last January.
The desired permission was not given
and no experiments were performed on
Montesano, but there were many med
ical men throughout the State who
supported the contention of the Tren-
ton physician.
The electric chair experiment was>the
climax of a series. When the other
tests had been made Quill placed HIM
self in the chair, adjusted the copper
bound cap, and ar assistant bound his
bare wrists to the arm Of the chair and
blindfolded him. The transformer was
connected by an insulated cable, with
the positive pole above his head, and
when the current was turned on a
blush spark three inches long darted
down into the cap.
Quilts body twitched and then grew
rigid as the voltage vas increased.
While the current was or h assistant
held a handkerchief saturated with al
cohol two inches from the toe of Quilts
shoe. A spark darted forth and the
cloth blazed. There was the same re-
suit when the cloth was held near the
chin, hand and Other. exposed or clothed
parts of the subjects body. Quill said
the transformer registered 100 volts
more than is used to kill men con-
demned to die, and that the physicians
who perform the autopsies are the ones
who end murderer's lives. His state
ment did not come in for expert consid-
Grafton, nor was the strength. or am
perage, of the current he withstood
known.
Working in a power plant of the San
Francisco Gas and Electric Company
two years ago, Quill got too near an
II, 900 volt alterpator, and he says a
current of about'2 800 volts was shunted
into him. He vas taken to q hospital
and lay unconscious for two hours, but
the physicians revived him. Then, he
says, it was discovered that his physical
makeup is different from that Of most
persons.
The exhibition was given at 14ls
Broadway.
