ELECTRIC
Chair Finds nsly Victims b
New York

New York, Aug. 10-Twenty.two
years ago this week, on August 6, 1880,
William Kemmler, a condemned muir
derer, was put to death in the electric
chair in Auburn prison. Kemmler was
the first person to be legally executed
by electricity in the United States and
his case was the subject of wide dis
cussion at the time. The action Of
New York In substituting the electric
chair for the gallows has been found
generally satisfactory and her ex,
ample has been followed by Ohio,
Virginia, South Carolina. Massachus-
etts. Kentucky. and New Jersey.
Since the execution Of Kemmler
there have been 154 persons put to
death in the electric chair in New
York. The State prison authorities
estimate that It costs about $500 PER
individual to carry out the capital pun
ishment mandate. On the basis II tAis
estimate New York State has expena.
ed about 3s5,o0o for electrocrtisaa
since that form OF inAicting the leaaA
penalty was introduced.
Several times the electric chair at
Sing Sing has had two victims In oH~.
day, and on one occasion short tine
ago three persons were put TO esaaA

But never before has there been sneA
