To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The case created the greatest sensation, and twice the prisoner was reprieved while evidence was collected to prove the imlawf ulness of the new method of execution. Edison figured prominently in this evidence, and Mr. Cockran, know- ing his views to be opposed to capital punishment, called him early as a witness. But he proved a dis- appointment in furthering the cause of the humane lawyer, for the question was not one of sentiment but whether or not electrocution meant instantaneous death. Ed...ison had had the "resistance" of several hundred men in his employ taken, and was therefore well primed on the subject. The day on which he gave his evidence the court room was crowded to the doors ELECTROCUTION 207 by people attracted, not so much by the peculiarly mor- bid nature of the case as by a burning desire to see and hear the great electrician. It was one of the few occasions on which the inventor appeared in a court of justice, and he proved an excellent witness. Deputy Attorney-General Poste conducted the case,, and the distinguished witness was put through a stiff cross- examination.
