ADJOINING HORRORS

11OT without a gesture Of compiaCent
IN pride the prison authorities in New
York have announced the formal opening Of
the new deathhouse at Sing Sing. The
jail officials have some rights to boast. The
new building in which the electric chair
stands 10 elaborate, efficient and significantly
large.
II Is explained that many Of the disagree
able features Of the old establishment of tho
little green door have been eliminated Thus
II will no longer be possible for condemned
men to see one Of their number marched
away through their narrow corridor toward
the execution chamber, nor will It be pos
Sible for them to hear every sound--even
the hard breathing of wituesses-through a
Switchboard wall. A real deathhouse-
that Of Sing Sing! There Is plenty Of room

isOlated cells for women
II anything could be more grucsome than
che administration Of the death penalty by
electricity II Is the persistent efforts OF
ssalous and unimagnativc prison officials
and legislators to make the legal killing Of
human beings seem somehow painless. The
very perfection of the Sing Sing lighthouse
vii make It all tho more revolving to a
rational mind. II any considerable num-
Hr of people could be assembled to witness

w teresting story.
As curator Of Independence Hall, n stu

repository OF vast amount Of interesting

As 1t now appears there we're two Of

Perhaps the lady IN California who wrote
TO Mayor Moore about n bogus Liberty Bell
