I'm guessing salt water has better conductivity properties than water. Back then, they wanted the maximum damage, therefore they wanted something with good conductivity. For better answers, go to a search engine and look up salt water conductivity, or you can go to ask.com and ask the same question. Maybe try first executions by electric chair on a search engine too.
