Sat In the Chair He Will Die In.

“Dutch” Fisher, the condemned murderer from Toledo, sentenced to die July 7, was the subject of a mock execution in the penitentiary at Columbus the other day. At his own request Fisher was taken to the death chair. The clamps were adjusted, the straps tightened and the black cap slipped over his face. He laughed as the cap was taken off. “Pm not afraid of it,” he said. “I just wanted to see how it felt. One is certainly locked in tightly." He walked back to the death cell as if he had forgotten how fatally his next “sitting” would result—Cincinnati Enquirer.
