MfV( . r s He declared such a met 11of putting condemned men to tath »as horrible and stated he will Ulaee a bill at the 1929 legisUture abolishing the scaffold for the electric chair. Coroner George C. Blades, who witjw.ed the execution, asserted the electric chair was as inhumane as the noose. He pointed out that it is more difficult to properly strap a man in ID electric chair as it is to fasten a n(lOS e around his neck. The prison warden evinced a belief that perspiration of the prisoners caused the noose to slip, the knot not striking behind the ear and fracturing the neck. The neck of neither Carey or Spragins was broken. Whether they suffered is not known. Blades said "they were the worst deaths 1 have ever watched." He advocated/ the use of lethal gas. He added: Advise Other Method ‘An intermediate date should be set for a prisoner to die and the gas tamed on without his knowledge. It trill cause him no pain anti he will die without knowing it." The state authorities believed they W remedied the situation by enacting al aw centralizing all executions ia Maryland to the local prison.
