Philip Standsfield "if my father was not

TORTURE IN PUNISHMENT.

Barborous Treatment Of MAlefact0Fs In
the Colonial Period.
The constitution of the United States
and those of thevarious states in prohib-
iting cruel and unusual punishments
were not fighting an absurdity. The use
of torture in legal processes was not,
when these instruments were framed,
so remote as it is now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed con.
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture.
One had bodkin thrust through his
tongue and was chained to tree until
he died, others were broken on the
wheel. It is quantity stated that Sir
Thomas was "a man Of good conscience
and knowledge in divinity"
Dole's date was 1911. The next uotar
BILE instance Of the use Of torture waa
in 1eo9, in the Salem witchcraft ex-
element, when Giles Cory was pressed
to death-the ''peine Cure ct forte"-
the most horrible Of deaths. A far
worse instance was the burning Of the
negroes at the stake in New York, 1741,
Is already described in these columns.
Throughout the early colonial period
the use Of the stocks, 'scage" and pillo.
n was common, but these were torture
only to the sensitive spirit. A similar
device is the cangue, or plank necklace.
