Even the physicians who formed the ex- pert jury - in Kemmler's case are of tvo opinions as to the <o moment of his death, though generally agreed as to the time at which he became uncon- scious; and the newspaper accounts of the affair differ so as to justify asuspi- cion that they have, as arule, sacrificed nceuraey of detail to the desire fora Srood stor Hence we have neither seientific data nor an exact statement of unrelated facts to draw upon in forming an estimate of the value of electricity as an agent for the vindication of outraged justice. Down at the bottom of the whale fi ure lies the nervousness of Warden Durs ton and his assistants inmaking o first exporimental test of a matural force which they only meagerly understood. I cannot biame them for their feeling of uneertainty and dread. - My only sgret is that the public, who, as the ultiniate court of appeal, must pass judgment on the result, do not seem totake this phase of the casecnough into consideration. Llectrocution may not be a perfect method for disposing of murderers, but that is not the question. The one thing to be decided is whether it compares well orill with hanging. 'The day has not yet arrived when legislatures g >ne ally will consent to abolish_eapital pun- ishment; hence the repeal of the law under which Kemmler was killed will meqn simply a return tothe old und fa- miliar maching of the gallows, I am sure, no one could have the hardihood lu claim perfection for that, Almost ¢ hanging which has occured in & civilized community for the last dozen years has called forth acliorus of horri- fied protests from tl -[nn«tmuun\ln( of its incidental bru Innearly 7 1se where a new hangms of- ficiated mistakes have been made which involved positive torture to the poor wretch on the scaffold, and this, at least cannot be chavged against the electric apparatus in Kemmler’s caso, However luflu it may have taken him to die, there is evidence that he knew nothing of his surroundings from the instant the One serious error probubly was that, in the reneral anxiety to avoid ascenc bf horror, the armngements were 00 com- plex. Mr, Edison expressed this very well when he said that the crimin ought to be made simply to lay hold of a surcharged wire with both ~hands, the victims of the el st appar- atus donow and then by accident.
