Feb. 8.—(By The} Associated Press)—Gee Jon, Chinese tong slayer, faced death this morn ing in the first execution by lethal gas in American history. Until last night two men had been expected to die in this execution. At & special meeting of the state board of pardons, however, !t was decided, by the vote of Governor Scrugham. to commute to life imprisonment the sentence of the other condemned man, Thomas Russell, an American born Mexican, convicted of killing] higpsweetheart, an Indian girl. | P. A. McCarran, former justice of the Nevada Supreme court, had made an impassioned plea on behalf of Russell, basing the argument largely on the record tn the case, which, the attorney contendéd fail ed to bear out the state’s case. The mother of the Indian girl had test! fied that she saw Russell kill the daughter, but Russell had insisted all along, even yesterday as he saw death a few hours away that he was innocent and that it was the mother ‘who was the slayer. Yesterday the district judge who presided at Russell's trial telegraph- ed Governor Scrugham expressing doubt whether it was a case of pre- meditated murder. The governor concurred in this doubt, while volc- ing the belief that Russell killed the girl. The execution of Gee Jon was set for 10 o'clock in the death chamber, a little stone building in the prison yard, in which cells had been fitted for the condemned men. It was ar- ranged for the Chinese to be strap: ped in a chair in the cell. The deadly gas, to be vaporized from a quid solution of hydrocyante acid was in another airtight stone com- partment. Warden Denver S. Dick erson had arranged for the wit. nesses to view the execution through two windo' A rehearsal of the execution yes- terday afternoon snuffed out the lives of two cats In a time estimated at 15 seconda A portion of the hydrocyanic acid- was pumped in through the floor tn the form of a fine spray.

In the long legal fight to stave off the execution two appeals were made to the Supreme court of the United States on the ground that lethal gas was an “unusual and in- human” form of execution.
