Show WW Boasted by Electricity. From the Oswego Palladium. It may be remembored that afler the papers staying Kemmler's death had been served on Warden Durston, a calf was provided as a substitute to illustrate illus-trate now the electrical appartus would work. The calf, which was well grown, was placed in position, the full current whicli was intended for Kemmler was turned on, and the calf was dead in an instant, and according to tho storv of Or. Mac Donald, as related to a Palladium Pal-ladium reporter, the room was also instantly filled with tho odor of burning hair and flesh which quickly drove tho occupants out of doors. The olectric current, it is said was on but an instant, but in that time the calf was fairly roasted alive. |
