Electric Chair First Used in 1890.
The electric chair was not. strictly
speaking, invented. 1t was known that
electric current would kill, and expert
ments In killing animals by this means
had been made. A New York COM
mission was appointed to investigate
humane ways of intlicting the death
penalty. eThe commission reported in
1888. and In that report suggested the
construction of chair in which the
criminal could be placed for electro
cution. Such chair was devised by
the state electrician of New York, E.
F. Davis. and appears to have been
first used in 1890.
