WOULD rUACTlCE ON WILSON The Scientist Who Has Demonstrated His Theories I'pon Kabbits Desires An Opportunity to Ucsusoitato a Criminal After Electrocution. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. nttston. Nov. 8. The many friends of Dr. P. J. Glb bona, formerly of this place, now a resi dent of Syracuse, N. Y.,' will no doubt be pleased to learn of the Buccess he Is meeting in that city. Tho doctor since ills resilience in that city has spent much time in studying the subject of electrocution, and has been so success ful from recent experiments that he has no hesitancy In saying that those who have been shocked to apparent death by electricity have really been in a state of suspended animation. His con tention Is that by artificial respiration their llvi-'S might have been saved. In the Interests of science Governor Fower, of New York, has been asked the privilege of testing his Invention on the body of Charles F. Wilson, now In Auburn prison under sentence of death. The convict, Wilson, has been ap proached upon the subject of submit ting his body for experimental purposes after he has suffered the penalty of the law in the electric chair, and he is quite willing that Dr. Gibbons should at tempt to bring him back to life. At first he demurred to the treatment, on the plea that he would not care to expiate his crime a second time In tho event of the doctor's complete success. He has been assured that under those clrcumst mces the governor would be strongly appealed to for clemency to a man who has Buffered so much and has been passively instrumental In proving a fact so valuable to the interests of science md the welfare of all workers In eloctriclty. If the governor will consent to this trial of the doctor's skill, Wilson will be given the fullest extent of the dyna mos, and after being pronounced dead by the attending physicians Dr. Gib bons will be on hand with his instru ments and apparatus ready to test his belief th.it life Is not actually extinct. If the uppeal now lying with Governor Flower receives favorable considera tion It Is possible thut a new epoch In the history of electricity Is at hand. The mighty power has been harnessed for man's utes; It has become to some ex tent his servant, but its deadly nature has brought terrible disaster at times. It remains to be seen if the Syracuse scientist has found tho means to rob it of Its sting. The New York World of Sunday con tained a three-column article upon the Invention. Among other things regard ing the extraordinary discovery it re lates an interview had with Dr. Gib bons, which Is as follows: The Doctor's Theory. "Respecting my Invention, or rather my theory," said the physician, "I uppose you have lately had many re ports of French Ideas on the same sub ject; but I believe I am right In claim ing priority to anything that has been discovered. I am most decidedly of the opinion that a large percentage ' of cases In which supposed death has been caused by electricity have really been notiilng more than suspended ani mation, and that If they had been properly operated upon without delay, life might easily have been brought back. . "Since the first electrical execution, the case of Kemmler, I have been Inves tigating the subject, and have lately made several successful experiments with animals. In my life-restoring pro cess drugs and chemicals ore often used. It Is also sometimes necessary to inject a solution Into the arteries, such as has been tried upon people who have bled to death. "My experiments with rabbits, for in stance,- have shown that they can be apparently killed with a voltage of from 800 to 2,500 and still be restored to per fect life and health. Now, it may be assumed that a rabbit is more easily killed than a human being. But I have used on one of these little animals 1,000 more volts than has ever been used In an electrical execution, and successfully brought the rabbit back to life. "A rabbit under these circumstances should bo more difficult to revive than a man. If a rabbit can be restored, why GREAT BANKRUPT SALE OF GlIS'FillSilSllSiKElC Bought at Sheriff's Sale.

They had all the semblance of death. , They were entirely unconscious, and the accepted signs of living were suspended. Yet they were revived. It is a great mystery, and one that will take ages to be perfectly understood. But I v.ill give this much out. The treatment must follow the electric shock at the earliest possible moment If Buccecs would be assured. However, I have, l estored a cat which had been apparently dead fully ten minutes. "I believe more murderers pay the penalty of their misdeeds upon the dis secting table than In the electric chair. That is my reason for advocating the adoption of a state law allowing re suscitation, or attempted resuscitation, to be reported to at all electrocutions. "I do not want to resuscitate crimi nals. When they are dead so much bet ter for the community. I want to prove that electricity does not necessarily kill outright, so that many accidental suf ferers may be saved. If Governor Flower vill sanction my making an ex periment upon the body of Wilson, now under santenco of death at Auburn prison, I will prove the value of my in ventions and the truth of my asser tions."
