VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 30.—T0 be officially dead and yet still live is the fate of two of four murderers who were garrotted in November in Amu lung, in Cagayar, Province of the Phil ippines. The death certificates were signed by the provincial physician and ap proved by the judge who passed the death sentence, and yet two of the men, says the Manila Times are now breathing, taking nourishment and are able to converse with their families; in fact, they at c actually alive, though j officially dead. It appears that an American prison official superintended the execution, as the provincial authorities wre un able to find an official to do it. An of ficial practiced with the gruesome ma chine, which was a strangulation gar rote, anr not one that dislocates the spinal column, and on the day or the execution he had almost perfected him self in its use. There was some ques tion as to how long the victims should be in the machine. It was decided that eight minutes would be sufficient to kill the victim and that four hours should be the time for the exposure of , the bodies afterward. The execution was carried out. The limp bodies, still bound, were taken from the machine and laid on the floor <if the church of Amlung. so that the relatives might claim them and take them away. Dr. Lillra, the provincial surgeon, certified to their death and the judge gave the seal of judicial ap proval. Some three hours later two constab ulary officers entered the church and were horrified to see upon the floor three bodies, still in their winding j sheets, but squirming and contorting! in half-unconscious endeavors to re-j lease themselves. •Groans that sounded j unearthly in the empty church come j from their throats. Two seemed to be j returning to full consciousness, and the officers, leaning over them, asked In Spanish if there was anything they wanted. to which they replied. "Water." Water and restoratives were applied freely and the men were un- Ibound and soon were able to be re-i moved by their friends. The man who was dead had already! [been removed, and one of the other three afterward died. The remaining' | two are convalescing and may live. | !t is written on the court records of i their native province that they are dead, having paid with" their lives fori the crime of murder. The law can Ineither sentence them again, nor can! lit rcognize their continued existence. A Golden Opportunity.
