In rosponie to Dr. MacDonald’s com ment, Electrician Davis said there was “something wrong about tho machinery down there," referring to the dynamo of the circuit. _ „ . This remark took place .it is well to re member, before the clectricizing, and was undoubtedly true, as wassl few minutes later when tho bolt w plied to Kemmler. The condemned man, after having his hair cut on the top of bis head, lis tened to the reading of the death warrant by the warden.
