"You ever seen anybody die in the electric chair, old man?" Mapes asked Uncle Billy.
Uncle Billy's head went on bobbing. "No, sir," he said.
"It's not a pretty sight, Uncle Billy. Not when that juice hit you. That's how you want to go?"
"No, sir. But if I have to."
"Even if you have to, Uncle Billy, you don't want to go that way," Mapes told him. "When that juice hit you, I've seen that chair dance. You see, Uncle Billy, we don't have a permanent chair in Bayonne. When we need one, we go to Angola to pick it up. And we don't waste time screwing it down—not for just one killing. And when that juice hit you, I've seen that chair rattle, I've seen it dance. Not a pretty sight, old man. Is that how you want to go?" (8.246-48)
We've already seen Mapes smack innocent old men around with no success, so now he uses the threat of a different kind of violence. Is there a connection between those two kinds of violence or force?
