sent at the hanging agree as to the
time it took to end Prices life. They
disagree, however, as to the exact
cause of, the death. DR.. Henery W.
Briggs, coroner's physician, said last
night the mans neck was not broker
and that he strangled to death. DR..
p. A. M. Rovitti, however, sal d he
thought the mans neck was broken.
No postmortem examination was held,
the fact that death had taken place
being apparently evident to the phy-
sicians, so that the breaking OF the
mans neck could not be proved. Both
DIR. Briggs and Dr.. Rovitti, however,
declared themselves in favor of cleo
trocution for execution of criminals,
as being more humane than hanging
more effective and equally as fatal
without any of the possibility OF dis
agreeable circumstances connected
with it. Death for criminals by ell sr-
trocution has been in effect in New
York for a number of years. 1t now
is in effect in Pennsylvania and IL
New Jersey. 1t has been advocated
in many states where hanging stl
survives.

SENTIMENT FOR A change
IN CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
PHYSICIANS FAVOR ELETROCU-
TION INSTEAD OF HANGING

GallOws Found to be a Cruel Method
and Becoming an ObsOlute Form
of Punishment in Other States
Strong sentiment for change in
the method of inflicting capital pun
ishment in Delaware from hanging
to electrocution was expressed last
night by the two physicians who were
present as officials of the State at
the execution of Lemuel Price who
was hanged at the Workhouse De-
cember 3. The circumstances con-
nected with the death of Price, who
