date of execution is wrong, +since I lived in Auburn&worked at this prison one summer(employee, not inmate) I have seen pics of Kemmler-he was heavy set, no beard, his face was badly scarred and pocked. this enactor looks nothing like him, not even close. Side note-there was a restaraunt in Auburn for years, claimed to have that exact chair on display
They also use considerable higher voltage, about 1,750 to 2,400 volts (depending on the state) and it is continually applied, whereas with Kemmler, no one had any real idea about what it would take to be lethal. The current was being flipped on and off rather rapidly and they had problems in the generator room (this was all relatively new technology)...
Correct. In addition to the beads of blood reported to have appeared on his face, the autopsy reported seminal discharge.
It was blood dripping from his thumb, caused by his fingernail digging into it due to clenching of his fists, that alerted a witness to announce that he was still alive after the first jolt.
It is strange how the method was continued, considering what a mess they made of the first one.
Very obviously a re-enactment.

electricexecutie is one strange, fucked up piece of shit to know about EVERY execution in history........
it has been verified that electroexecutie has seminal discharge on viewing make-believe films of flesh frying in the electric chair..........
as it is, elecrticexecutie attaches electrodes to her clit which she attaches to DD batteries for amusement, while daddy watches.....................

Is this the actually execution or a reenactment?

This is a re-enactment of the very first electrocution of William Kemmler in 1893 at New York's Auburn Prison.

Could this be the William Kemmler execution? It looks like his chair, though a spinal electrode was used.
