probably the real facts about th the e kemmler atrocity will never b be known they certainly will not unless a I 1 legislative I 1 91 investigation is held MI from M beginning to end the preparations for the execution were steeped in fraud and secre ee cresy s y it lt is sabeto safe to say that the whole bu business es a involved moro more artifice on the part of more people than any event which has happened in ili the state tor for many a day from the time kemmler entered his cage at auburn fourteen months ago it was wits known that be he would be the first victim of tile new electrical execution Is law until the hour of bis hia death he has been the focus of wore more lies and labor than any man tram fram montauk point to lake erie it has all culminated finally in an event to speak of which one must exhaust tho the vocabulary of horror tha the responsibility tor for tho the affair finally rests of course upon those who enacted the electrical execution law but to fix the tile 1 direct responsibility for the bungling work people eople want to know what w was as done an fn in the secret chamber wh where er e was the dial showing the tile voltage oi at the tile electrical current and where was the switch W itch that sent the current into Kemm lera lerla body concerning tho the scene there warden durston s saya a no man shall ever kno know mr careton dareton stort himself of course as the man in direct charge of the execution has to stand what might bo be called the legal blamo blame of the affair how ilow much of this the warden should equitably and personally boulder may bo be another question but there is no a question ti estion that be he is universally condemned condemned for not having the switchboard and volt meter in the execution room and for not having baying BO an expert I 1 I 1 I 1 AIN A IN I 1 aja I 1 aw fc 11 l att electrician in charge of these the warden substituted a new execution room for the old one at ho the last moment to avoid a

the current used at the execution cu lion all the way between and 2000 warden durston pays that tile voltage used at the time of the first shock hock given to kemmler was 1700 volts volts it la in simply impossible that this can be true tho the opinion a of 1 electrical esderts e ports la Is that if it the full fat 1 current of 1700 volta volts is passed through a man the man will be killed instantly electrician barnes who was in iii the dynamo room bays says that he doubts it the voltage waa was more than 1100 kven even warden Dt durston irston admits that th the e voltage varied constantly batu between een and 2000 dr daniels says that the voltage at the time of tho the first shock waa was between 1200 and 1300 the impression that kemmler Ke was 8 subjected u to a current not much stronger that COO volts is gaining on the part of all the tile witnesses at the execution ec ution that be he was in a semi con a state and after the tile first shock ou tre r ed infernal torture there Is little doubt on tha the part of anyone that kemmler was alive after the first shock even the spectators who maintained that he be lost ausness from the first admitted that ewas was no possible way of telling whether he be was conscious or not the talk abent the movements of Kemm lers body after filter the first chock shock being simply that of spasmodic epa action is nonsense kem kemmler ter kept on breathing and gurgling and and one of the lite wit nesses says that the respiration and exhalations exha lations kept growing stronger and stronger n ger T the b e relaxation of the muscles after an electric shock cannot be confounded with these movements by any manner of means further and stronger proof that a light current rather than the strong one was allied applied to kemmler is the tile fact that t the e autopsy did not show any of the usual strongly marked signs of electrical death een dr southwick who was hilarious over the tire result of the mornings work ad admitted mittel that the signs of electrical death in Kea imler were mach much lees laps than in any subject he had ever seen before contrary ontra r y to expectation alie bod body y of kemmler waa was not buried in the prison cemetery until last night everybody supposed that what th abe doctors left of the body would bo buried shortly after the autopsy or as a eoon soon as night bight fell at the latest but the burial did not take place until shortly after 11 tonight to night the cause of the delay waa was said to be a doubt in thomina the mind of warden durston as to what the word attached in the law regulating tha tho disposition of a body meant it orders that the body if unclaimed by relatives relative shall be buried in the cemetery attached to the prison the cemetery is about a mile away from the prison itself and i is a part of fort lee cemetery which I 1 is an aristocratic goda acre As it was not directly connected with the prison t abe he warden bell believed eyed ho he could not bury the body there lie ile bad had about made up his mind to bury it under one of the flagstones flag atones stones in ln the prison yard when it occurred to him that the taw law distinctly eaid said cemetery and BO so tile warden concluded to have legal advice on the subject this settled the tile vexed question and the grave digger at the cemetery was ordered to dig a grave and be on band hand to bury the body at 10 tonight to night but the express wa wagon gon which rattled the murderers mur derera bones over the stones starts a did not reach the graveyard ti till 1 m more 0 r e than two hours later the grala grave e w was R e within a short distance of one of the main streets the body was liberally sprinkled with quicklime and lite earth was thrown upon it by the light of a lantern the only mourners were the gravo grave diggers and they mourned because they had to work BO so late thua thus ends the story of william kemmler and the people here are rapidly
