hrst woman to suffer the death penalty

penalty of the law was executed In
l846
The victim was Emile Zillman,
nee Kuehne, of Hammer, Prussian
Silesia. She had been convicted of the
murder Of her husband, and the facts
ELECTED at the trial showed that the crime
was most deliberate and cold -blooded
one
When she was told that she was to die
she broke down completely, and her 40
tions were ptiable.
The Moabit prison has no execution
yard, and the prisoner was therefor trans
ferred to the Ploetzensee prison.
She was taken there in van, number
of mounted policemen riding around the
conveyance.
At seven o'clock the execution attend
ants appeared in the cell, accompanied by
q clergyman and several other persons.
Frau Zillman was then told that IL
was time for the final preparations for
death to he made. The woman was In an
agony of fear, and made not the slightest
resistance to those detailed to prepare bsr
for her awful fate.
"A woman stepped up to her as she sat
with wide staring eyes on a chair and
expeditiously cut from her dress circular
piece about the neck. Then her dark
brown hair was twisted into a knot and
fastened on the top of the head, leaving
her whole neck entirely bare.
At 8 o'clock two warders took her by
the arms, lifted her from her seat and half
led, half carried her into the courtyard
where the headsman's block had been
placed. Beside it stood the executioner.
resting on the hilt OF his heavy sword.
Half dead with fear the woman was
placed beside the block and there supported
while Prosecutor Lademann read to her
the sentence Of death.
The prisoner was told to kneel, but she
apparently did not hear, and the warders
gently, but firmly, forced her down until
her head rested on the block. While they
were doing this handkerchief that had
been temporarily placed around her neck
was removed.
The next instant after her head touched
the block there was a cleaning fash Of
steel and the head Of the woman dropped
into the basket placed to receive IL.
As the blood flowed in torrent from
the severed neck the executioner exclaimed:
"The sentence Of the law has been exc
cuted. May God have mercy upon the
poor sinner"
