In San Francisco doctors Atkins and Lewis charged the human body with electricity via swallowed electrodes touching the stomach walls. A telephone system transmitted audible sound with voltages up to fifteen millivolts, supporting claims that digestion and sense actions are electrochemical and that the auditory nerve can be stimulated electrically. Meanwhile in Pittsburgh a wave of crime prompts extra police after three murders and multiple robberies, including a crucifixion case involving Mrs. Jean Mitchell found knelt with hands nailed to a sink's draining board. Police seek William Neely alias William Mitchell.
