EXECUTION OF RAvAILLAc.-The
New York Post publishes the follow
ing account of one of the most mem
orable horrors Of the seventeenth
century, as detailed by an old writer.
It is description of the execution
of Ravaillac for the murder of Henry
~, of France, on the 14th of May,
1910 The records of torture do not
contain more narrowing narrative:
"This Francis Ravaillac was born
in Angouleme, by profession law
yer, who, after committing that hor-
rid act, being seized and put on the
rack, May 9th; the 25th he had
sentence of death passed on him, and
was executed accordingly in the
manner following: He was brought
out of prison in his shirt, with
torch Of two pounds weight lighted
in one hand, and the knife wherewith
he murdered the king chained to the
other. He was then set upright in a
dung cart, wherein he was carried to
the grave, or place of execution,
where a strong scaffold was built.
AT his coming upon the scafold he
crossed himself, sign that he died a
Papist; then he was bound to an
engine of wood, made like St. An
drew's cross; which done, his hand
with the knife chained to it, was put
into a furnace, then flaming with
fire and birthstone, wherein it was in
a most terrible manner consumed, at
which he cast forth horrible cries,
yet would he not confess anything;
after which the executioner having
made pincers hot in the same furnace,
they did pinch the Drawn of his arms
and thighs, the calves of his legs,
with other feshy parts Of his body;
then they poured into the wounds
scalding oil, rosin, pitch and brim-
stone melted together; but to make
the last act Of this tragedy equal in
torments to the rest, they caused
four strong horses to be brought to
tear his body to pieces. When be-
ing ready to suffer his last torment
he was again questioned, but would
not reveal anything; and so died
without calling upon God or speak
ing one word concerning heaven.
His flesh and joints were so strongly
knit together that these four horses
could not in long time dismember
him; but one of them fainting,
gentleman who was present, mounted
upon mighty strong horse, alighted
and tied him to one of the wretch's
limbs; yet for all this they were
constrained to cut the flesh under his
arms and thighs with sharp razor,
whereby his body was the easier
torn in pieces which done, the fury
Of the people was so great that they |
pulled his dismembered carcass out
Of the executioner's hands, which |
Were dragged up and down in the
dirt, and, cutting off the flesh with
their knives, the bones which re-
manned were brought to the place of
execution and there burnt the ashes
were cast in the wind, being judged
unworthy Of the earth's burial"
