STATE'S FIRST VICTIM
OF ELECTRIC CHAIR
Contained from Page One
the Stato shall not be mentioned by
name Even the tleptity wardens present
did not know the man.
At the first electrocution In the history
of Pennsylvania some nervousness had
been expected, but there wns llltlo of It
apparent. The keepers who buckled
Talap into- the chair, may have fumbled
a bit. but- with all their work was
lightning qulcK.
DOOMEP MAN'S STHUOOLE
The first victim of, I. o chair relinquished
his hold on life reluctantly. At exactly
7il4 o'clock the drop of a white handker
chief was the signal for the release of tho
first shock. Thq man's body strained
ngalnst the straps ns 2300 volts coursed
through his limbs. Tho spasmodic move
ments of the chin driven ngalnst tho
death mask shorted that every musclo
was quivering.
At T.YIM the second charge was turned
on. An Instant after the signal for this
a thin lino of bluish smoke curled upwnrd
like tho smoko of a cigarette apparently
from tho right leg of tho strapped
muidcrcr. No delay was permitted and
the third shock was switched on nt 7:20.
Tho charge had btn gradually drop
ped to S00 volts and this final chargo
failed to show any fluttering life remain
ing. Just cno minute and ten seconds after
the man entered tho room the first shock
of electricity wns turned on. Tho Hev.
Antonio t'lnnltzky, of namoy. Pa., was
Tulap's spiritual adviser. Ho Joined tho
doomed man early last night nnd stayed
with him until the end. At 5 o'clock
this morning tho priest said Mass In tho
cell. The organist of his church assisted.
Talap ate a light breakfast a short
time beforo tho execution.
APPROACH OF THE END.
The rest of the time Talap spent In
prayer. Excessive caro had been taken
by those In chanro of the dcathhouso to
see that nothing wns wrong. At tho last
minute thcgasollnc engine that generates
current for the dynamo was Btarted. That
muchlne has been tested soveral times a
day In the last week. This gasoline en
gine was tho first notice to Talap that
death was near. In spite of efforts to
tone down Its explosions, the throbbing
noise of the mnchlne In action penetrated
oven through the 2-foot concrote walls
of the deathhouse.
When this machine started beforo C
o'clock this morning, Tnlap knew his end
was near. The electrician nnd all con
cerned with the execution other thnn the
guards at tho deathhouse arrived there
shortly before 7 o'clock. Tho first cur
rent was turned on at 7:14 o'clock. At
7:21 o'clock the witnesses and newsnaper
men got up and (lied out of the room.
The body was taken Into tho autopsy
room. Relatives had made arrangements
with n Ucllefonte undertaker to take tho
body back to N'orrlstown for burlnl. This
will be done late this afternoon.
TALAP'S CRIME,
i Talap gave his lfo for the killing of
bis wifo on August 6, 1913. They were
walking from Pottstown to Stowe. Tho
woman wns found dead In the rond tho
next day. There wns a bullet hole
through her head, another through her
arm. Three weeks later Talup surren
dered. He said he had shot his wife
accidentally while showing "ner his re
volver. The prosecution contended there
had been Jealousy and n quarrel, and
thnt this was responsible for the shooting.
Talap was found guilty of murder In
tho first degree and sentenced to be
electrocuted.
Tnlnp was not tho first man to bo
sentenced) under the new State law,
Andrew Mnllnowsky, of Allegheny county,
the first, got a reprieve last week until
March 28. He Is now In the death house.
Tho physicians today were Dr. r. J.
Campbell, Dr. J. W Crane, of tho New
Jersey Stato Penitentiary, and Dr. J. F.
Cody, phjslcian lor tho Centre County
prison.
The witnesses wore J. n. oy, or ueiic
fonte; John B. McLean, a Philadelphia
lawyer.: Silas II. Itowland, of Philadel
phia; Amen B, Hess, of Lancaster, father
of the electrocution bill, and P. A. Johns,
of Unlontown. Dr. D. A. Kcll, of Potts
town, also was present.
JNSTIiUMrNT OF DEATH.
All the latest appliances for the formal
taking of human life have been Installed
at the new'tlenthhouse.
Tho switchboard standing Just back of
the chair and slightly to the left Is so
arranged that, after the full capacity of
1300 volts has been thrown en, It automat
ically runs down several hundred volts.
The first shock, according to the physl
clnns, icndorh the victim unconscious; but
to kill, the man In tho chair must re
ceive the exact voltago suited to his re
sistance. If there Is too much It will not
kill, hence 2300 volts aro put on first, the
next shock starts at MOO volts and runs I
down to WOO.
The death house In Itself Is a grlm
looklng two-story structure built of solid
concrete. It sits ntop a bleak, desolate
looking hill about four and a half miles
from Bellefonte.
Over at the squatty station of Bock
View the State owns 11,000 acres of the
surrounding countryside. Here will ba
established Pennsylvania's model prison
farms. So far there Is nothing on the
site but the death house save a few frame
buildings to the rear, one of which Is the
cottage of Warden John J. Fiancls. The
latter did not attend the execution.
A sample of the 20-foot concrete wnll
that eventually will surround tho 11,000
acres has been erected Just below tho
death house, This and the house itself
stand out stark white against the drab
dreariness of tho hill. Across the valley
there Is a mountain.
MUItDEnEIVS LAST HOURS.
There nie no windows In the death
house. Talap hos not seen the sky nor
the earth since ho was brought from Nor
rlatown by the sheriff and two deputies a
week ago. He has spent the time until his
execution today In solitary confinement.
The man is survived by no relatives other
than his children. They are all small. No
one came to see him during the week
but the priest. He left no message for
the world and held no conversation with
any one but his spiritual adviser. Last
night, according to the prison authori
ties, he confessed his slna and received
absolution.
Talap was clothed In black trousers,
gray shirt and black shoes when he was
brought into the execution chamber. He
squirmed slightly as he approached the
chair and turned his head to look at it,
In his face, rather than fear, was a look
of curiosity. I?e apparently was ready to
die and he did not flinch.
The chamber is u large room, about 20
by 0 teet. a concrete bench runs about
three walls of It for the witnesses.
Almost against the other is the chair,
placed In the centre of a rubber mat.
Ropes hung from brass poles surround
the chair. Undoubtedly, Bay the wit
nesses, electrocution is more humane In
Itself than hanging. There is absolutely
nothing gruesome about It. Until the
priest knelt before the man about to die
the witnesses were utterly dlsregardful
of the "silence" signs hung all about the
room. The attendants and the clergy
man quieted them.
MANY CONDEMN DBATJJ PENALTY.
But the grim house on the hill, with its
multlplielty of barred doors and sound
proof walls, the extreme care that locks
pp the condemned In wlndowleog bare
rooms presenting suicide, or escape, the
otwjlesa formality of it all, have made
rnny in this neighborhood believer In
ifce abolition of capital punishment lit
te bvtois of the town and around the
aUon the townspeople talked of noth

DENTAL STUDENTS
AS CLINIC PATIENTS
Volunteer as Subjects in
Operations at the New Evans
Institute.-
University of Pennsylvania dental
students took gas, had their teeth filled
and underwent other operations today
during clinic demonstrations at the new
Evans Dental Institute, 40th and Spruce
streets, which was dedicated yesterday
during tho University Oay exercises.
Some of those operated on were rcgulnr
patients of the University free clinic, but
'the supply ran short during the morning,
nnd students were asked to volunteer for
the operation.
C. W. Peaslce, of Portland, Maine, a
second year dentnl student, was one who
volunteered his services. He sat In a
chair in the post-graduate clinic room and
submitted to having a front tooth lilted
while students nnd graduate dentists
gathered about the chair and watched.
A new painless method was popular with
those who underwent operations this
morning. This Is a new nitrous oxide
oxygen method In which the patient In
hales gas, and, though unconscious to
pain, Is able to watch the operation.
Groups of visiting dentists gathered In
the orthodontic clinic on the first lloor
to see photographic exhibits of operations
by which tho contour of the face had been
changed. No orthodontic operations were
demonstrated during tho clinic this morn
ing, for the process of changing tho
shape of the face takes a year to a year
and a half.
Tonight Dr. L. M. Humberger, of Now
York, president of the Dental Alumhl So
ciety, will preside at the alumni banquet.
The speakers will Include Provost Smith,
Dr. Richard H. Harte, Dr. E. T. Darby,
ex-Mayor Idhn Weaver, Dr. Joseph Noble,
Dr. Luther M. Weaver and Dean Kirk, of
the Dental School.
WHAT IF GERMANY WINS?
Professor Ferrero Will Discuss Prob
lem in Public Ledger.
What will happen If Germany wins?
Will she bo satisfied to remain on the
other side of the water? What If the
Kaiser succeeds In holding the iron
mines of France nnd 1116 deep, rich coal
mines of Belgium? These nre some of
the questions which nre on every tongue
In Europe and which nre also discussed
here freely. These aro questions raised
by Pi of. Gugllelmo Ferrero, the eminent
Italian historian. Not only Is Ferrero
one of the most distinguished historians
of his day, but being closely In touch
with the forces and diplomats striving
to preserve Italy's neutrality, his views
are taken unquestionably ns of one who
knows.
A direct reply to the above questlonu
Is made by Professor Ferrero In a series
of articles addressed in particular to
Americans and Italians. Each instal
ment will give new light on the different
angles of tho world's most gigantic war.
Tho first article appears Sunday, Feb
ruary 28, exclusively in the Punuc
LIUKIEH.
A man who appeared to be a little
wider than a ffag pole ran along Lehigh
avenue, shouting and whlatllng thrdugh
his fingers. Sergeant Mullen chased htm.
but the frail stranger ran several squares
before he stopped. Then he told the ser
geant that he was a dengeroua man.
When he waa taken to the park and Le
high avenues station, the prisoner stood
behind a pole, and for a few minutes It
was thought that he had escaped,
"If you don't hold me tight," said the
stranger. "I'm liable to blpw out the
window."
"What's you name!" asked Magistrate
Kmely.
"William Stout," replied the prisoner
This brought a general laugh.
"Years ago," eaid Stout. Jwpen I was
fat I became a vegetarian and never ate
anything for supper, but a strained to
mato and a soda biscuit Now I'm glall
even to get that, for I havo no definite

"You're the Jolilest homeless man I

"Just let on' yer goln' to kill yourself
