Two Shocks Required to Kill Murderer McElvaine. Experts Say Death Was Instan- taneous and Painless. Charles BE. McElvaine, the New York bur glar, who murdered Grocer Christian W. Lucca, of Brooklyn, N. Y,, August 22, 1880, has boen officially killed by electricity in Bing Sing prison in the presence of the twenty-seven witnesses provided for by law, It was the first execu tion by this method which news Buper rmen were permitted to attend, )f the reporter witnesses four agreed that the killing was more merciful than hanging. The other four thought that it was bruta . but not so bad as the killing of Kemm'er at Auburn. Of the invited witnesses, Wardon P. J. Doyle,of Brooklyn, said that the means of death was quick and merciful, Assembly- | man Meyer J, Stein saide “I do not know whether death was instan- taneous or not, Iouly know it was horri- ble, and I shall do all in my power to have the law repealed. The sight was cruel and unnatural, and it made me sick.” The condemued man, after partaking of a substantial breakfast, arrayed himself ina suit of black, prison made clothes, and en- gaged in prayer with Father Creden., Hs was calm, though showing noone of the symp- toms of bravado that characterized his life. At 11 o'clock Warden Brown Jed the wit. nesses to the death chamber, where all were seated on stools in a semi-circle about the chair, Behind it was the closet in which the executioner was concealed. Prof. Laud took his place by the volt meter. On eac side of the chair were boxes filled with a solution of salt and water Iwo rubber bags hung on either side of it with small pipes attached, and within them were con- cenled wires from the switobboard by which | the current was to be conveyed to the sub- { Jeot's hands The Warden announced that the execu tion was sbout to take piace, and then sald: “KE.
