CHINESE PUT TO
 DEATH WITH GAS
Tong Slayer Is First To Be Executed In U. S. In Lethal
 Chamber

CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. S.-Gee Jon, Chinese Tong slayer, was put to death here this morning in the first lethal gas execution in the history of the United States. Official physicians had observed through a window of the stone death chamber the death ensued within six minutes and that it was painless.
 Four minutes after the lethal gas had been admitted into the chamber Gee Jon was still alive, but did not appear to be suffering. Physicians expressed the opinion that he had lapsed into un- consciousness instantly. At the end of six minutes physicians examining him through the window believed him dead.
 Wealens A Little
 The Chinese was led into the death chamber shortly before 10 a. III. News papermen acted as official witnesses, grouping themselves together with phy- sicians around the window of the cell in which the man was strapped. Gee Jon was in the chair when they ar rived. Guards reported he had wept a little as he was placed in the chair. The captain of the guards said to him, Brace up," and after that he displayed no emotion.
 When the gas was turned on he raised his head and looked around at the hissing sound of the liquid hydro cyanic acid being blown in from an ad- joining compartment of the little build ing. Then his head fell forward. His expression remained placid during the six minutes he continued to breathe. His head rolled back and fell forward periodically.
 The official physicians were A. Huff aker, E. E. Kamer and Maj. D. A. Turner of the United States army medi- cal reserve corps.
 Death In Six Minutes
 They agreed that death ensued with in six minutes. They withheld further comment on lethal gas as form of execution pending more complete ex- animation of the body.
 During the execution the witnesses could smell the poisonous gas. but 1t did not appear to have any harmful re- suits. or even bother anyone. After the execution the chemists ordered that 30 minutes elapse before the chamber was emptied of gas, but an hour passed before the physicians were permitted to enter.
 While the gas was being pumped out, it's odor permeated the prison.
