The ex-perts hail previously examined every-thing and they w"re sa'ii'!ied that the l.iaf'hiuery of death would work per-fectly. At i o'clock Slocum walked into the death room accompanied by Father Creadon. He seemed to be makinpr, a tremendous effort to keep his composure, ile had rt reived Father Creed m'.s last odices and had declared himse.if ready to die. lie was then brrnlv strsppad into the chair and the death current applied. Death was instantaneous. There was a sudden contract! in of the muscles and then all waso-e- r. Smiler followed next. Rev.

Tiio.ro was not much timo for specula-tion, for at .1.11 o'clock a black (lag went up the pole, it settled tho fact that the io gi'o Wood, who killed his cimipr.niuti Aquedot during a ipiaricl. was dead. Tin1 Jap, that big muscular Siiibuya JiiL'io, Vi ho in a lit of raga slabbed lo de.ith ono of his countrymen, was to c e n.'.t. The !!a of dea h for him w;is red. It was believed the tak'ui'' of tiopueod a success. The death of thu four men appci.-e- to the observer to bo painless. J) ath came like a flash. The doctors look chr.rga of the four bodies immediately after death and be-gan the autopsy to discover as far as possible how rapid had beeu the killing and the precise effects produced. The witnesses were besieged by reporters as soon as they made their appearance from the prison. All of them refused to say anything, however, except that the executions had passed off without any hitch and had been a success from a seientilie standpoint. Warden iirown had laid strict Injunc-tion of secrecy upon ail of them and hail evidently made such au impression on their minds that they were loath to talk All looked thoroughly used up and exhausted. They had been through a terrible ordeal and the effects were plainly visible upon their faces. Rev. Dr.JLaw, chaplain of the tombs at New York, who was assistant to the prison chaplain, said: "I. was fully convinced that the killing of murderers by electricity was a failure, but I am now convinced lo the contrary. Every one of the men went to the chair calm-ly embodied easily ami without pain or contortion. Death was instantaneous." the foreigner to the chair would bo a hard task and there would be such a scene in the death cnauiber as the ivurden, who talked of the kiii.ug of tlm men as he would of the beheading of chickens for Irs Sunday dinner, could out f oi get as lung as ho lived. t ba Klujf. Jap had a queer idea about death, lie ie'liCed that when ho was taken to th it mys' "l ions room lie. would be tor-ture. I. li.r had raid, us .well as he could, that he wmiid light before he would sit in t'rit chair. A displace-ment f the wires or of tno harness caused bv a si r.iggia would iiicau tor-ture.

It was all over IireseuLiy. I'h'." law hud been curried out to the letter and the red Hag went up. Tho Jap died at 0:00 o'clock. 'I Iih WitnuHi..-- .'o one knew exactly who was inside that board hoit--- e w ith carefully screeu-- e I windows.

The prisoners had received some in-timation before hand that tho executions were to take place this morning aud as they had been prepared they went to the execution chair bravely ami met their into without strugle. The elec-trodes were not applied as in Kemmlcr's case to tho top of the skull and the base of the spine, but wero bound to the foreheads of the condemned men and tlm calves of their legs. The current was turnca on m eacn case for twenty seconds. Tho voltage was about' lo.OOJ to 10,0 10. Iu each c is? there was apparent evidence of re-vival ss in the Kemmler case and the current was turued on a second time for each. The medical men present agree that death came on at tho first contact ami that the scemiug revival was merely the reilex muscular action. Dr. Barber, the prison physician, came om shortly after Li anil sa.d the autopsy was com-pleted, but that no statement would be gi v en out for several hours. Annum prison. 1 lie witnesses had re-mained in the prison all night, il was the idea of the warden to keep tl.em Within tho walls, where they could not lie interviewed arid where they would have uo chance to talk to anyone. 1 ,i L'ntire Tlaia Cinsumetl. The entire time consumed in exe-cuting the four men w as one hour and tvveiu.v-tiire- and a half minutes. The mis'sfees i f tho electrical experts which made the execution of Kemmler in part a fallui". were carefully avoided today. The cau-- e of the accidents and delays at Auburn were known lo liie warden at i'ing sing, and they had been an-ticipated in the arrangements for the execution of the tour men who wer.e to be put to i!".f.!i during th:s week.
