The episode was **not** "the enterprise incident".  How about "the
tower of babel"?  The technique is called Telshia (sp?). It was
executed by a spy on an alien diplomat, in order to frame Spock's
father.  Telshia is described as a painless form of execution from
ancient times.  Telshia involved breaking the neck.

Ah, yes, I remember, now...an alien being was found dead in a service
tube on the ship.  But I'm not sure...was it Spock's father?  It seems
to me that he was accused but we all know he was innocent...who did it??

(i.e., was it Spock's father that killed him?)

And the method is "Tal Shaya."

	As it happens, this episode was on yesterday (sorry, didn't catch
the title).  Anyway, Spock's father was framed, but he was removed from 
suspicion when his heart started bothering him.  An alien spy who was 
"dressed up" as one of the delegates was responsible for the murder.  He
was from a neutral planet which would make money selling dilithium crystals
which they mined illegally from Babel.
