DEATTI HOI si' DESCRIBED
A small concrete death house. U
about Jx7x8, will be built In one cor- .
ner of the prison yard. Through one i .
I I wall a pipe leads to a large gas tank.
This pipe would be operated either ,
by a Jet or plug, which would bej,
manipulated by one of three wlrefe.
'I'hree persons, to be selected bv lot. L
would pull the individual wires, v,
none would know whic h had turned L
on the gas. ! ,
i n the opposite side of the death .
house w ould be an outlet pipe to J,
carry off the gas after the exccu-l,
tlon.
From the center wall six witnesses
would be able to watch the victim '
die.1 a small casement window being (
provided for that purpose The law f
says that this number of wltnespet '
may attend th executions. Entrance :
to the death house would be gain) lj
through a small, hermetically sealing'
door.
Trison officials hold that within a 1 '
few seconds after the condemned man'P
ntered the death housc, he would be i '
under the influence of the gas.
Chief objection to the lethal gas '
Kllings. -ind the center of the Btorn 1
now gathering, lies in the wording j1
of the law which says that some'
time during the week of sentence the '
execution shall take place." I1
Thus, the objectors hold. a man!
could live for days of terrible torture, '
never knowing at what moment the
1 deadly gas would be turned on.
State and prison officials ln?h;t!'
I that they have no Intention of ad-p
I ministering the gas in this fashion;
' that the condemned prisoner will be1
notified of the time of his death and '
that the execution will be Immediate. 1
A test will prove whether or not 1
li bal gas is humane, they aay. 1
Atid so, unless the supreme COUTt
interferes. Hughle Sing, the high
't school lad, who learned more of tong
engennce than of mathematics, and I)
'iee Jon. the calculating "killer" of
sun KYanclsco'a Chinatown, will be1
Ihs subjects of that test, '
