draughts of the mellow liquor, he
promised to set his trembling prisoners
at liberty, if one of their number
would, in his presence, drink the
great pokal full Of wine.
This offer seemed at first only 4
cruel aggrayatiop of their misery; but
after an anxious discussion certain
Herr Nusch, former mayor, accepted
the challenge and succeeded in the
apparently impossible task. lilly
kept his word; a servant was sent in
all haste to call back the mayor and
bid the executioner cease his prepare
tions. The street through which the
servant ran on his welcome errand is
called Peace alley (Friedensgasschen)
to.this day, and the descendants of the
brave ex-mayor still enjoy a yearly
pension from the public funds, besides
remaining owners of the famous
pokal.
