n Hanging : as a Fine roinn Art. A-+
Mr. Frederick William Marwood is a
cousin of William Marwood, the pub
lie executioner or hangman of England,
about thirteen years ago. The position
of public executioner in Great Britain is
a remunerative one, but is also consul
ered very ignominious. The Govern
ffient pays him a salary of C3(I5 .year,
and for each execution the Sheriff of
the county id wUioi, the culprit is hang
ed pays Marwood Flu, besides expenses,
Tiie public hangman, however, rarely
goes out of England, but sends one of
his assistants i,o to attend to disl uiL bang-" jobs
in addition the regular fees tho
mm frequently makes snug perquisites
from the relatives or friends of the in
dividual whom lie is about sending .f into
:
eternity. , .. They pay him to , do the job . ,
with “neatness and dispatch,” audio
send him off as gently and kindly as pos
Bible. Frederick William Marwood is
at present in this city, \ and is desirous of
. havrog . the English system ofexecut.ons » ..
introduced m tins country. He is of a
very scientific turn of mind, and has
perfected and patented several iftven
lions.
When Marwood ,, , succeeded Calcra« lie .
bungled several times in executing men,
and there was much indignation express
ed against him by the British public.
1Io was in great h dan?er ^ of losing hislu
j crative olhee, and ho appealed to . .. Ins rel- ,
’
ative to devise some means which would
get him out of the scrape The latter
went to work at once and invented a
gallows which would hang one manor
twenty mon > and wlth w!uch there
could be no bungling.
,
J Being a medical man of extended ex
perience, he soon discovered that the
principal defect with it the system , then .. . m
use was that the body of the culprit did
not fall exactly perpendicular or plurgj?,
and thus Uie full effect of the fall was.
diminished, and the neck rarely broken,
The consequence was that the victim
went through a slow process of stvatogtt
latiou. In some instances even the old
tactics of Oalwafttin hi, younger years
had to be pursued, and the executioner
would have to leave tiie platform, de
scend , to , the ., groufd *, below, , , and, , catch- . ,
ing liold of the dangling legs of the
tim > lift hiraself i,lto the air thereby.
The drop system is used in England,
whereas here the victims are jerked up
ward. Tlie Doctor found that the gates
of the trap through which the body
plunged did not fall quick enough, and
sometimes tlie arms or head of the vie
ti ,n would hit against them and ho
would be knocked out of the plumb line.
Then again, the gates swung back and
forth and hit the rope, causing the body
to dance around in a lively manner, lie
| Invented a ’ peculiar platform of two
pieces, supported in the center by a bolt,
which, by touching a lever, could be at
: once shot from its socket. The gates
instantaneously separated^ being drawn
down by powerful springs and there
stationary, thus leaving a free
space for the victim to descend through.
Level with this trari, and apparently
part of it, is a platform, on which the
officials who are compelled to be present

which are stuck two long knives. Over
his head and face he wears a black hood
with holes for the eyes and mouth cut in
it. Round his neck he wears a bright
red frill, which hangs down over the
; shoulders. Altogether the costume is a
very striking oue. The hangman has

touches the luvor aad the man is in «ter
n ity. By a nice scientific calculation
the length of the drop to be given to a
body is regulated by its weight, and the
size of the neck. The rope used is
specially manufactured, and death is al
most instantaneous, for the neck is bro
kou in every case.
“In other words,”, said the Doctor,
vicinity of tlie occipital legion Md tlie
severing of tho atlas from the cranium
will take place.” A pit is dug beneath
tlie gallows into which the body descends
so that tho struggles, if there are any,
will not be witnessed by tho spectators.
Dr. Marwood said that he had no pecu
motive ...... introducing, .. his gallows ,,
uiary m
invention into this couutry. He felt
that the cause of humanity demanded
that the brutal scenes witnessed at exe
unions m in this f i.(« nr,nntrv couutry, thmnffh through t^e
bungling of the executioners, should be
stopped, and all that skill could do
should be done to perform the work iu
the least offensive and painful manner.
It Hwasmisoujtaiu was this object in view view tint tint the me Doc- uoc

The Karntcliatdales keep special dogs for

The Latookas, of Zanzibar, bury iheir
dead wlio die from disease or old age,
but make it a rule to leave those slain
in battle to be devoured by wild beasts
where th ey die. The Parsecs bring
their dead to certain round towers, call

P»tog prickly thorns on them to keep off

men in trees, but their women they
buried. The Gonds and Bhils, of India,
burn their men but bury their women,
The Zoda 9 bury children, the victims of

The waves so softly rippling
In gentle lullaby.

Seeing his heaven there.
