Hanging in Chains.

To the Editor of TINE EVENING STAR:
The published statement in connection with
the Guteau trial that the oldEnglish law en-
powered the judge to order the body of man
condemned to death to hang in chains" is incor-
rect. The inference from this would be that
the judge had power to order the bodies of all
persons condemned to death to hang in chains
The facts in regard to the English practice of
hanging criminals in chains, are that during the
last century all persons charged with the crimes
OF nautany and piracy on the high seas We're tried
at the Old Bailey, in the city Of London, and if
condemned to death were hung with hempen
rope at Execution Dock, at Mapping, on the
river Thames, just below the tower of London
After hanging the usual time. one hour the
bodies were then hung in chains on gibbets on
the banks Of the Thames. below Woolwich dock
yard, in full sight Oftfe shipping passing up and
down the river, as warning to mutneers and
pirates.
All other condemned criminals were hing at
the Old Bailey and buried within the precincts
OF the jail. The writer hereof about the wear
1872. saw the last men who were hung in chains.
which consisted of series of iron hoops. bolted
together with iron rods. forming kind of cage,
IN which the body was placed and could be seen
through the openings in the iron frame. The
bodies would hang until every particle was de-
composed and dropped out with age and expo
sure to the elements. This relic of the barbarity
OF English criminal law died out about the same
time in the first quarter Of the present century.

not expect to find here a market for all he is
