HAD THEIR PERaU1sIrEs.
Privileges That Were Allowed to Old
Time Executioners.
From nc New YOrk sun

Sidney Faber, the Second avenue
pharmacist, who is secretary Of the New
y ork German ApotheCaries Association,
met a number Of the members yesterday
afternoon at the exhibition of instruments
of torture in West Twenty-third street, to
talk as an expert about the exhibits and TO
deliver lecture on European Execution
ers of the Olden Times and Their Swords
Mr.. taber was friend of d. F. Geuder,
who got together the nucleus of the
coll ction, which was exhibited at the
royal castle at Nuremberg aud
purchased by the Earl of
Shrewsbury, who is soon to have it at
For three years Mr.. Faber was an
amateur cicerone at the royal castle.
Among the members of the association
present were Messrs, Kostka, Louis,
Stozenburg, Michaelis, Frame, Stoft,
Ehrman, Transporter and Schmeltz Mr..
Faber said that the exhibition was rather
one of curiosi les of the law and
relics of old-time capital punishment and
correction than OF torture instruments.
When he had made the round Of the ex-
hibits, Mr.. Faber delivered his lecture.
He introduced the subject Of the execu-
toner by saying
His figure can be traced trailing like
red thread through the history of the
world. His figure appears on every page
OF history, from the classic ancients,
though the Middle Ages, and down to
our times, no matter whether he
swung sword or touched the spring Of a
machine"
The executioners, the "Messieurs do
Paris the "Maitres des Hautes
Que res," were, MIR. Faber said, more or
less identified with the criminal judiciary,
and in Germany and Austria their acts
and functions were regulated by law.
The coGe of the eXecutioners of Charles
v Of Germany was aled the Carolina"
and that of the IMPRESS Maria Theresa
the "Theresiana." before the fourteent
century any soldier or mercenary could
be called on to execute according TO law,
and condemned criminals obtained pardon
by becoming eAeCutioners. Princes did
not disdain the work, and in 1889 a
franciscan monk, dressed in
cowl and hanged thief at Hebron.
EXecutiOners, while stunned, had
their privileges, salaries, extras, and
perquisites. In case Of suicide, the
exc Utioner owned all wi hin the circle of
his sword as he stood on the body, so
that when, in 1912, a miser al SaAbrunn
killed himself hugging his gold, the
eXecutioner's claim to the wealth was
sustained in the courts.
The swords used in executions were
made with great care, and always
appropriately engraved The finishing
touches were given in the presence of the
eNecutioner and The criminal judges. One
OF them gave the sword 10 the eXecutioner
after speech The weapon was then
laid on q church altar during mass, aud
afterward blessed.
The lecture ended with a description of a
medieval executioners first essay on
decapitation.
