THE FATAL CHAIR Kemmler Dies a Terrible Death niOMMU JM_YET ALIVE. He Kcvifes AfUr BtiaR Shocked lolo HIMOK-STRlCfrKN SPECTATOR FAINTS. A Current BUDS Through Him Until Hit Flesh Burnt TUB DOOTOBB 1 AUTOPSY. A Mlckt-iilo*; Hoeuc. Borne of tbe witnesses turned away from the night. One of them lay down fainl and nok. It lakes a long, long lime to tell tbe story. It seemed a long time reaching a climax, la reality then- were only 7.1 sec onds in the interval which elapsed between tbe moment when the lirsl sound issued from Kemmler s lips until the response lo tbe aigual came from the dynamo room It came with tba same luddennees thai bad marked the first shock which passed through Kemtnlrr'j body. Tbe sound which had horrified the listeners about the chair was out off sharply as the body once more became rigid. Tbe slimy ooze still dnpped from ibe mouth and ran slowly in three lines down the beard and on lo tbe grey vest. Twioe there were twitohings of tbe body as the olt< irioians in the next room threw the current on and off. There was to be no mistake this time about Ibe killing. The dynamo was run at high peed ana thu full current of 2 000 volts was sent through the body in the chair, lluw long it was kept iu action no ons ki uws. To the excited group of men about the ohair it stunted an interminable time. 1'or tbe men who stood in front of tho volt metre in the adjoining room and threw the awiteh backward and forward time had no SBsaeurement. Dr. Daniel, who looked at bis watch excitedly, and who had an ap proximate idea uf the time at least, said that it was four and a half minutes in all. The warden's assistant, who stood over tho dynamo, said that on tbe second signal the machine was run three and a halt minutes. It will never be known with i ay degree of certainty what the space of time was. No one was anxious to give the signal to slop. All dreaded tbe responsibility of offoring to tbe man a clianoe to revivu or lo give again at least Ihoeuapptaraucfsof returning auuna tion which had startled and sickened the witnesses a few minutes before. An .l -t of llurulnc I- i. -I, AM the anxious group stood silently watching the body, suddenly there arose from it a while vapor bearing with il a pungent and sickening <> .lor. The body was burning. Again llierj were cries lo mop tbe onrrent, and again tbe warden sprang to tbe door ami gave the quick order to his eaeiatant*. Tbe ouneut stopped and again there wan the relaxation of tbe body. No doubt this lini" thai the current bad done its work, if not well, at least completely Dr. Fell said, Well, there is no doubt about ouo thing. '1 lie man never uutlered stn iota uf pain." In after consultations the olher physicians eipressud the uame U lief Ii was some mitigation of tbe boirors uf the aituatinu to believe this. Tbere wau sjine consolation in the thought that thoeu liuavy, hoarse, sounds were not tbo evidences ol suffering. Hut mitigation was slight, extremely slight, when it developed that on another and just as important a point, one on which the uooees of thu experiment suttmud to depend largely, if uol altogether, these aaiue doctors disagreed very materially.

Hi llU.ttflt , Home of the eminent experts in attend- ance said that while the body was still warm in the ohair thure was no doubt that there were signs of returning animation, that the respiration (fur respiration they twliuve it to br) was growing stronger, and that in tune if the current hail nut keen turned on he would havu revived. Others, and among them Dr. Hpilzka, stated with eijual posillvenus the conviction that the tlrat shook killed Kumniler instan- taneously. Dr. Daniel and Dr. Houlhwiok (the father of Ihe system of electrioidc) bo liutu tbat Kmmler was dead, but they think that tbe current should havu been continued lunger than asvanleen seconds, whioli was the uiti -ial time of the tlrst oon- toot. There is no way in which a positive determination of this <|uestlon can bo made. It will always remain a inyslory. Tli AUI..II-I The autopsy wan begun at about t) o'clock. It was in charge, of Dr. Jenkins, of New York (who handled th knife), Dr. I'anii-l, Dr. McDonald and Dr. h|ui..ka IT lull prepared the blood drawn from the body for examination under the micros- oope. II was found when the body was spread ont on the table Ibal a very severe rigor mortis had set in. There was liltls relaxation, and It was with difficulty tbat tb* corpse was straightened out. On examination It was f .mini that the sooud eleotrode bad burred through the skin and iiilo Ihe flesh at tbo base of the spine, making a aoar nearly five inches in diameter. The heart, lung* and other ecgans were taken out and were found to Its in good, healthy condition. They will be reserved for future oiaminalion. The brain aUo was taksn mil, and il, too, will be carefully examined. The examination of the brain showed abat the brain was hardened directly under be spot wh. re the sleolrio current had some in contact with Ihe skull, and tbal ths Mood at thai spot was hardened, showing that ib* current had direct action on the brain. Versltot .. i in- Uoolora. The following brief stateim.ni wa* dic- tated by Dr. Bpit/ka before the w Unease* left tfa* exsocition room . Tuere Is no iloott that eousoluususss was ( aboll*hl instantly at tbe first contact. Tbs nnl esrroot did not destroy all viuJ pb- nouieoa, bat some reflex phenomena of vegoia tive life resisted, and tbal I iLiuk you can sassly say was duo to tbe fact that the voltage was not constant or strong enough. Concerning tbe strength of the voltage, Dr. Bpitzka aaid tbat he bad written to Dr. McDonald some time ago expressing a fear that it would be too weak. Dr. Bpitzka said lint be had noticed some curious phenomena in connection with the experi ment one of them the post mortem signs, which appeared immediately after the tirst hock. It was shortly after thii that Dr. Hpitzka said : "I am no friend of electro- cution. I am lure this settles electrocu- tion ; that man deserved, if a man ever did, aijnick death." Later Dr. Bpitzka said to the special correspondent of the United Press (and both of these expressions of opinion were carefully noted and are cow transcribed from original notes.) " I believe this system of execution superior to banging," and to this last ex pression of opinion Dr. McDonald, who was Dtandiog by gave a hearty aisent. Dr. Bnnlhwick was eatisned with the execution aa a first experiment. He said that Kemmler was dead at the moment of the first contact, and that there was no repira tion afterward. There wa* nothing but muscular contraction. Besides, as there was no consciousness aftsrtbis first shock it did not matter whether or not the current was kept on all day. Tbe law provided that the current should be kept going until death occurred. Dr. McDonuld said there was no doubt that uuoonnciouues8 was instantaneous. " Had the voltaye been higher," said Dr. McDonald, "tbe time would bave been long enough." Dr. Batch said, Tbe man was instantly unconscious. Sensation was dead in him after Ihe nrst shock, but I tbink that if be had been allowed to continue to respire he would bave revived." Dr. Daniel expressed belief that Kemni Ii r died at the first shock. lie uaid bo thought the execution was a success . and that it had demonstrated the superiority of eleclricide over banging. Head at Lant. Almcss immediately attendants began to unbind tne corpse, and finally the mask was removed. Ihe eyes were found to be half closed and without a glasay itare. The lids were lifted and tests of tbe pupils with bright lights were made. Tbe optic nerves were dead. There was no contraction of tho pupils. Where the mask had pressed Iho forehead there was a livid mark. Tbe noae and the region of ils base was of a deeply livid hue. Purple spots toon began mulllingtho hands, arms and neck, and Ihe doctors said he wan uurely dead. One of thu liulfalo doctors seven minutes after the straps were removed out the skin at the temple for a microscopic specimen of Ibe dead man's blood. It was examined and found slightly coagulated. Warden Dnrston produced his death oerlilioale, which was read and signed by each witness of Ihe ex cation. Warden Durston was asked to stale the pressure at the lime tbe current was first applied. " About 1,700 volts," was tbe re- sponse. A Wlrnil \Viiili-rr. Kemmler wa* born in l'hiladel|>bia thirty years ago, brought up in ignorance, never learned a trade and for year* ha* been a waif anil a wanderer. He did not knuw whether be bad a relative living, although shortly after he came lo Auburn lie rr oeived a letter from a man living in Ohio who was probably hi* unole. Ho he grew np like a losl child and natur ally, bootine bis father wan a butcbtr, worked more at that than at anything else. II was Ihe only business of whuh ho bad tbe leasl knowledge. Home three years ago n Camilen, N.V.,be married lua 1'ortvr. Tbe day after his wedding he learned tbal thu had another husband living. Imuietii atuly he left her and ran away to with Mrs. Tillie /aiglur. There al onoe a huckster and a drunkard. The woman, too, was cursed with it taste for |uor. They .juarreled continually. She 'rtquenlly alula hi* money, aiid, taken altogether, their life was a* degraded as oould be. One night, crazy with drink, they had a row about a few ocuta, and ha struck her on the head with an axe. Ne.\t day she was dead. That night, in Ihe station -house ill, he was plied with Ii |iior until be grew >alkalive, and told enough lo oonvio! him self. That is the whole story of his life, common enougb in ils beginning, and un- common iu its ending only because he was In- nrsl Iu dio this now death ordained by thu law. 1..MI, iiiiiiK Wrong Wlllithr Iltnamo. While this was proceeding and the wil- 'BttH examined the ohair of death, the Doll was run upon the dynamo, in Ihe south wing of the prison, and Ihe incandescent test lamps in the ante chamber glowed laintly. The current was on : Ihe slrange power was coursing Ihe circuit. The ividence was Ihere, till bow feebly they burned ! Thus exclaimed Dr. McDonald, who was tho only mie who got into the mile room, and that while ignorant cf the warden's dosire to keep its secret* inviolate. In response to Dr. McDonald's comments Kleotriolan Davis remarked IhaMhere was something wrong about the machinery down ihrre, referring to the dynamo en, I of Ihe circuit.

Then tho warden leaned over and nodded his head lo some one who stood in Ihe secret room at the fatal swiloh. There was a ijulok, convul- sive ilart of Ihe bound figure in the chair, a little squeaking sound of straining slraps. Hreathlesi watchers had every sense bent upon the moveless wretuh bound head, hand and foot, and no sound save birds' songs in Ihe bright sunshine milside the windows. The bar of a heavy aliade at ono window was lifted by the straying breeis* and fell back against the bar. The noise was slight, but to Ihe lenae and breathless watuhers in the death chamber It sesmed equal to the scum! of slashing arm* Dr. Bpll/.ka and Dr. Hhrady, drawn by deep Interest almusl unconsciously from their plaoe*, moved on tiptoe lo plane* by the ohair.

It will fail to end the unparalleled controversy tbal ha* been waged over tbe substitution of the dynamo for tbe gallowi. On th* contrary it mnit revive that controversy and give to it a vigor which il never had before. Tbe failure of yesterday's experiment was due not to the system, bat tbe bungling, in- efficient way in which the execution was managed. The (suit wai with the doctors and electricians. No backward step should be taken hastily. So great a reform is not to be abandoned without good rtaion. The bungling work of yesterday doe* not war rant a return lo the barbarity of Ibe gal low*. Had the execution been properly and efficiently managed in would have proved tbe success of the new system be- yond all dispute. The Tribune says there are only two ppi sible method* of execution that our civili- zation will sanction, electricity and the rope. Il i* only because we are so familiar with the tanging tbat its utterly brutal conditions are tolerated. To witness the long and desperate struggles of a poor wretch who is undergoing the slow process of strangulation is to witness a spectacle of unspeakable horror. It is probable that the spnclacle o( Kemmler's death was equally drsadful, bat it is also probable that sensation fled at the firil approach of the electric current. Thi* execution cannot be regarded as any thing more than an experiment, and a* an experiment it was not a mooes*. I'nque* tionably there were serious defects in War.len Durston's mechanical arrange nu ute. The switchboard should bare been in tbe execution room, and the band of an experienced electrician should have directed thu movements of Ihe lever. There should have been no failure in the development ol a meady, regular current. To these two circumstances, which can of course easily be obviated hert after, some of the horrors of this particular case may be ascribed. That there will now be a loud outcry against Ihe new law is to be expected, and prcbably all eorta of expedient* will be resorted to to prevent another application. Knob expedients ought nol to succeed. While we cannot consider il settled that Ihe law should endure, further teit* cf ils desirability shouKi be hail. These will be in Ihe interim of uiercv and civili/ation. The 'limn aays )esterda>'s trial was of necessity an experiment, and it was not conducted with thai care and coolness that were reqaisiie to ensure mcoes*, bat it was made clear that with the currei.t that has been recommended for ibe purpose, with appiicalion free from defect in construction and operation, and with a firm and confi dent application of ths process, there could hardly be any question of instant painleas dtath. It would be abiiurd to talk cf abandoning the law and going back to the barbarism of hanging, and il would be as puerile to pro pose to abolish capital punishment because the now mode of execution was botched in its first application. The llurM says Ihe tirst experiment in elect roculion should be the last. Its re suit strongly oondsins this method of put ling criminals to death as very cruel and very shocking. atMilONAHV Kit ALHIK*. W*D|;a'>CoUUlT tlin Tllrnfri. uf St i I ti lati IllltUullJ.

Father O'Connor, D. D., i* a Canadian by birth, 50 year* of age. He early deter- miued lo devote hia life to the Catholic faith, and entered Hi. Michael's College al Toronto, Ont., with the intention of filling himbelf for tbe ministry. He graduated with high honors at the Toronto college, studied tor two years in Fcanoe, and after visiting all places iu Europe important for their connection with religious history, took order* in the church. Returning to Americi, Father O'Connor wa* made a professor of St. Michael's Col- lege, hi* alma mater, but soon resigned to accept the position of superior of the Assumption College at Sandwich. When he entered upon tbe duties of his new office tbe college was barely in existence. It was located in some deserted army barrack* below Sandwich, but under the guiding band and untiring energy of Father O'Connor it steadily advanced in tmcieccy and prosperity until il ha* reached the position tnat it now holds among Canadian educational institutions. The success of every project tbal Father O'Connor has undertaken has been due to his great ability an an organiser and the broad acd liberal view that be has taken of everyday affairs. Father O'Connor has continued at tbe head of Aisnmpticn College during a peiiod of '22 years, up to the time of his present appointment, and bis masterly efforts will soon be fell in the new position tbat hu profound learning and liberal iJtas has wcu for him.

THOSE CANADIAN RAILWAYS Probably Befoul to Permit Sealing Out at Vancouver Will Ocme. A Wsshington despatch cf Wednesday tays : The Secretary of the Treasury to- day tent to the Senate hit tourer 10 the resolution iimocuced by Sena- tor Collom, on July ICth, relative to the Canadian Pacific Railroad. 1 hat reeo- luiion wai very sweeping in Ha terms, and desired particularly to know whether a I'nited Btatei caitoma agent ii stationed at Vancouver, B.C . who seals the cara of the Canadian Pacific Railroad containing merchandise in bond to the United -ate, and from what places that merchan- dise comes. The resolution also asked for information aa to the manner in which goods imported by thai Grand Trunk Railroad are bonded and whether any law ii violated on that account. The answer of the Secretary of the Treasury will not be satisfactory to the Canadian railroads. The Secretary does not give any specific indication as to what he intends to do, bat the inferences from his rt ; ly am important. The answer shows that it il the purpose of the Treasury Department to change the existing method of inspecting and sealing cars at Vancouver, and i hat the United Biatta customs ageni will not here- after be permitted to bond merchandise imported from China and Japan fur trans- portation to the 1'nittd Slates in IP- oar of the Canadian Pacific under tbe I'nited States Treasury seal. It is understood here that thit will be rather a tenons matter for the Canadian Pacinc, inasmuch as a con- siderable portion of the bet Jed business, which it has transacted through the agency of the I'nited Slates customs inspector at Vancouver, consist* of importances of Chinese and Japanese mtrchandiie. It is evident that the Secretary of the Treajury intends to forbid the use of tbe I'nited States consular stal for any merchandise imported into British Columbia from China or Japan, or from any other country, except inch as can be termed a contiguous country to tbe I'niled States. The answer cf tbe Secretary to tbu in- quiry whether or not the Grand Trunk lUilroad is condnolicg its elevator system at Port Barnia, Oat., tu violation of the I'niled Slates revenue laws, is answered with less directness by tbe Secretary. Be refers to the provisions cf tbe law under which this ptrmit was cngiually granted, and states that be does not know that the privilege is in violation of the law. and is not prepared to say that to continue thie permit would endanger the revenuts of tbe I'nited Stales. It is understood from information outside of this answer that further inquiry is to be made in tbe matter of the Crand Trunk KailrcaJ. Tbe answer of the Secretary of the Treasury can only be regarded as [ nlimiuary to tbe general inquiry. All lhiou;h the Utter be slates that the subject referred to n> tbe several resolutions of inquiry of the Senate are under investigation. AN ITALIAN \ r.M't ri i ri(ht ni-r Girl-Two Killed.
