 Little Rock, June 4.-GOv. J. M. FUtrell has appealed to w. x.

 The framers of the electrocu- tion bill supposed a chair could be provided for this amount. but the penitentiary commissioners have discovered that it will cost more than double the amount to purchase the patented devices on the chairs now in use.
 Gov. Futrell asks Prof. Glad son to study the models and see if he cannot build chair, with the exception of a few patented parts, in order that the law. which goes into effect June 13, may be complied with. The chair will not be needed by this date however, as murders con- mitted before that date will be deolt with in the same old way.
