Hanging Smugslors.

It has not been 80 very long since
it was a custom in England to
hang smugglers on gibbets arranged
along the coast and to tar their
bodies, 80 that they might last q
long time and be warning to other
culprits. So recently as 1929 three
men thus coated could have been
seen hanging before Dover castle.
This embalming process was some
times used on other criminals. Thus
John Painter, who fred the dock
wards at Portsmouth in 1776, was
hanged and then coated with tar.
From time to time the process was
repea and his body lasted IA
years. San Francisco Argonaut.
