Electrician Describes Execution

     AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Electrician Davis, who superintended the electrocution of Czolgosz, made this statement as to the execution:
     “I used 1700 volts of electricity, turning it into the body at full voltage for seven seconds and then slowly reducing it for 45 seconds. Then I threw the full voltage on again for eight seconds. Then, at the suggestion of Dr. MacDonald, I turned it on again for a few seconds. I did not think there was any necessity for the third contact, and the lack of resistance shown when it was administered proved that life was extinct. The body showed eight amperes of resistance. That is a little more than would be given by a larger or stouter man where the current could have more chance to percolate. It was as successful an execution as I have ever operated at in all my experience.”
