New York, Jan. 4.?Several
hundred spectators today witnessed
the execution by electricity at
Coney Island, of "Topay," an elephant,
who had killed three men
and recently had become unmanageable.
Immediately after 200
grains of cyanide of potassium had
been administered, concealed in a
carrot, a current of 6, GOO volts
was turned on through copper
plates, on which the animal stood.
Almost instantly the elephant
fell, and at the end of ten seconds
when the current was turned off,
was pronounced dead. An autopsy
showed that the poison had not
had time to take effect.
