The accused Is bound to q horizontal ladder,
and the executioners force him to drink i'm
mense quantities OF water. When the swol-
len body OF the victim gives indication that
no more water can be taken In, broad and
heavy piece OF wood Is used In such q m amer
that the water Is violently driven back In the
direction Of the head, and forced out of the
eyes, mouth and nostrils When this torture
is applied with severity the victim seldom,

HoRAKU-sEME
This consists In compelling the accused to
stand upon a grating under which gradu-
ally increasing fire Is kept up There are no
means Of escape, for the prisoner is surround
ed by strong fence and confined to the heat
ed grating for motion.
TEPPO-zEME.
In the interior of copper tube lighted
charcoal Is placed. The accused is then made
to grasp the tube, to which his hands Is then
bound, and to walk rapidly in such direction
as will expose an end OF the tube to the wind.
By these means the torture Is accelerated or
lessened In proportion to the motion.
NETTo-zEME COOLING wATER)
This barbarous torture Is performed by
binding the sufferer to frame. exposing the
whole Of his back, the position being OF such
q kind as to strain all the important muscles.
IncisiOns are then made In the skin and are
washed with boiling water until the wounds
cape wide. Should the prisoner still be
mute, or Is 1t admissible to make terrible
example of one to strike fear into his accom-
plices, molten lead Is then poured Into the
open wounds. According to the chronicle,
dark vapor rises into the air. and the body
speedily becomes Of the color of cinnabar.
The consequences OF this horrible torture
must be apparent.
HERBI-zEME (sNAKEs)
The accused Is placed within copper uten-
sill having perforation large enough to per-
init his head to pass through; number OF
ven0mous snakes are then introduced and
applied until the heated spirit drives the
snakes to furious attacks upon the naked
body Of the victim. This torture, with hellish
cruelty. is specially used In cases OF women,
because of the natural antipathy of that sex
TO reptiles and creeping things Of all desorip-
tiOns.
