Death Comes Quickly
in the Electric Chair

The efficiency and rapidity with
which criminals are put to death in
the electric chair is explained by
Frederick Tisdale in an article in
Liberty.
'"The process of strapping in the
criminal and attaching the electrodes
is completed in about 40 seconds
points out the writer. $50, swiftly do
the attendants work that the current
enters the prisoners body 10 seconds
after he enters the death chamber.
The current is kept on about two
minutes. A second and even third
shock may be administered as pre-
caution, While, the current is on a
humming sound is produced in the
body.
Psychologists declare that death by
electrocution is instantaneous" con-
tinues the author. "The heart is
stopped and the brain paralyzed be-
fore the nerves can register any feel
ing. The veins and arteries offer a
perfect course for the current"

strip of the material with three but

surprisingly, q mans undershirt.
