American Reporter La Chaise électrique entre au musée, USA, 1972 Épreuve argentique d’époque, 22x18 cm, annotations au verso First use took place in New York's Auburn Prison on August 6, 1890. The first 17- second passage of 1,000 volts AC caused unconsciousness, but failed to stop heart and breathing. After confirming K. was still alive, the physician reportedly called out, "Have the current turned on again, quick, no delay." The generator needed time to re-charge, however. In the second attempt, K. received a 2,000 volt AC shock. Blood vessels under the skin ruptured and bled, and the areas around the electrodes singed; some witnesses reported that his body caught fire. The entire execution took about eight minutes. Westinghouse commented that, "They would have done better using an axe", and The New York Times ran the headline: "Far worse than hanging".
