WITNESSES WOULD TAKE
LETHAL GAS TO ANY
OTHER GIVEN MEDICINE
CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. 27.—
Those who witnesses the first lethal
gas execution were unanimous in de
claring that if they had to suffer cap
ital punishment they would prefer to
die that way.
All agreed that unconsciousness
came upon thecondemned man within
a small fraction of a second after the
first wave of lethal gas struck him.
They also agreed that both unconsci
ousness and death were completely
devoid of pain.
Attesting the humaneness and the
quickness of the lethal gas method is
the result of a poll taken by eleven
witnesses of the execution. The ques
tion propounded to each was:
“Provided you were condemned to
die and had your choice of hanging
shooting, electrocution or lethal gas,
which would you choose?”
In every instance the answer was
the same—lethal gas.
Consensus of opinion among the
seven persons who officially watched
the snuffing out of the life of Gee
Jon, Chinese ton highbinder, was
that lack of proper paraphernalia for
the first experiment and too low a
temperature in the stone execution
chamber to permit proper vaporiza
tion of the deadly hydro-cyanic mix
ture prevented the life of the Oriental
from being snuffed out in the twinkl
ing of an eye. But they all agered
that the Chinaman died within a sec
ond after the first full charge of gas
struck him. The slight movements
of the body noted six minutes after
the gas was turned on, were in real
! ity not signs of life, but the reflexing
of the muscular system which conies
after death.
Major D. A. Turner, of the U. S.
A. medical corps, who was assigned
here as official military observer of
the execution, threw some interest
ing light upon the lethal gas method.
“'Even under the handicaps of im
proper equipment,’ ’said Major Tur
ner, “lelial gas method is the quickest
and most humane method of putting
a human to death. Hanging is the
cruellest. Frequently hanged men are
conscious from seven to 15 minutes
after the trap is sprung. In electro
cutions it is frequently necessary tc
shock a man three and four times be
fore he is dead. There are no scien
fcuv/v/io mai uxr i o I1UI L'UUSUUUC
during such an ordeal.
In shooting executions unconscious
ness does not always come instantane
ously with the riddling of the heart
Lethal gas, however, produces instan
taneous unconsciousness and practic
ally instantaneous death. There is nc
chance for pain or suffering.
In Jon’s execution it was impos
sible to heat the interior of the stone
walled execution chamber to the re
quired 70 or 80 degrees. The result
was that the lethal gas was liquified
instead of vaporized into fine parti
cles. It also took a full minute and
a half to pump the death chambei
full of gas. With proper equipment
and a specially constructed glass lin
ed chamber, death could be made
both instantaneous and painless.”
M’KINLEY PARK LUNCH STORE
It’s a long way to Mt. McKinley
where good eats are very rare; so
fill up your lunch bags with frest
fiuits, boiled ham, and dry sausage
that’s made from a polar bear; and
when you return from the Yukon and
the big ship’s waiting for you. just
go to your berth with a lunch bag, it
will be a life-saver to you. And when
your long voyage is ended and the
Harding Gateway you’ve gone thru
with all the good eats and fine scen
ery, you’ll be a bear.
