Death Chamber For the Pen.

Annapolis. = Delegate John
Phillips, of Wicomico county, has a
bill to substitute the electric chair for
the gallows and to require that the
executions of the death sentence for
all the counties and the city of Balti
more shall take place in the State
Penitentiary. The bill requires the
establishment of a permanent death
chamber" in the penitentiary, furnish
ed with the necessary electrical ap'
paratus. The warden, and in his
absence a deputy warden, is to be the
executioner. The bill carries an ap'
preparation of $1,000. AS soon as a
prisoner is convicted and sentence
Of death pronounced, he must be car
ried to the penitentiary unless there
Is an appeal or stay of execution. the
bill does not apply to any who shall
be under sentence of death. Mr..
Phillips has prepared the bill care
fully and has gone into every detail OF
the execution, even to the burial OF
the body of the convict after. the
sentence is executed. Mr.. Phillips
thinks that the requirements of the
law for a certain degree of privacy
when convicts are hanged in the coun'
ties are Intellectual and that the PUB
lie spectacle that is made of such af'
fairs is demoralizing.
