their crime, which was the passing of
counterfeit money, on the site OF the
present city prison. As far as known,
only three women have been hanged in
this city, and they were Diana sllleck,
murderess, who was hanged in 1916 on a
gallows erected at the intersection of
Bleecker and Mercer streets, Rose But
Ter, who was executed for arson in 1920
in Potters Field, now Washingt on
square, and Catherine Coshear, a negress,
who was hanged at the northern end of
Blackwell's Island on May 7, 1929, for
the murder OF Susan Saltus.

forty-six men have paid the death PEN
atty within its walls. On but three oc-
casions have two men been hanged to-
gether. and only once was there triple
execution.
Three scaffolds have been in use since
the construction OF the prison. The first
was built in ISL and was in use until
capital punishment was abolished in this
state. This law was made especially to
cover the case of Mrs. Hartford who
was sentenced TO be executed in 1858 for
the murder of her husband. The SYM

In 1860. when capital punishment was
once more in force, a new gallows was
built. This did duty till May 10. 1882,
Augustus D. Leighton being the last man
hanged ON it. In March, 1888, the pres
ent scaffold was built and Pasquale Ma
ione and Michael +. NcGloin were ex-
ecutcd on it together on the 9th Of that
month. Seven men have been hanged
on this gallows, the last being Daniel
Lyons, on August p, 1858.
