WITNESSES WOULD TAKE
 LETHAL GAS TO ANY
 OTHER GIVEN MEDICINE

CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 27.- Those who witnesses the first lethal gas execution were unanimous in de- claring that if they had to suffer cap ital punishment they would prefer to die that way.
 All agreed that unconsciousness came upon thecondemned man within a small fraction of second after the first wave of lethal gas struck him. They also agreed that both unconsci- ousness and death were completely devoid of pain.
 Attesting the humaneness and the quickness of the lethal gas method is the result of poll taken by eleven witnesses of the execution. The cues tion propounded to each was:
 Provided you were condemned to die and had your choice of hanging shooting, electrocution or lethal gas, which would you choose?"
 In every instance the answer was the same-lethal gas.
 Consensus of opinion among the seven persons who officially watched the snuffing out of the life of Gee Jon, Chinese ton highbinder, was that lack of proper paraphernalia for the first experiment and too low a | temperature in the stone execution chamber to permit proper vaporfza- tion of the deadly hydro-cyanic mix ture prevented the life of the Oriental from being snuffed out in the twink i ing of an eye But they all agered that the Chinaman died within a sec ond after the first full charge of gas struck him. The slight movements of the body noted six minutes after the gas was turned on, were in real ity not signs of life, but the refleXing of the muscular system which comes after death.
 Major D. A. Turner, of the U. S. A. medical corps, who was assigned here as official military observer ot the execution, threw some interest ing light upon the lethal gas method
 Even under the handicaps of i'm proper equipment said Major Fur her, "lehal gas method is the quickest and most humane method of putting human to death Hanging is the cruellest. Frequently hanged men are conscious from seven to 15 minutes after the trap is sprung. In electro cutions it is frequently necessary tC shock man three and four times be fore he is dead There are no scien tific proofs that he is not conscious during such an ordeal
 In shooting executions unconscious ness does not always come instantane ously with the riddling of the heart 1ethal gas, however, produces instan taneous unconsciousness and practic ally instantaneous death. There is nc chance for pain or suffering.
 "In Jon's execution it was impos sible to heat the interior of the stone walled execution chamber to the re quired 70 or 80 degrees. The result was that the lethal gas was liquifed instead of vaporized into fine part cles. It also took a full minute ant a half to pump the death chamber full of gas. With proper equipment and specially constructed glass lin ed chamber, death could be made | both Instantaneous o,d
