HE GARROTE.
SPANS HOrrifying Method of Execut-
ing Condemned Murderers.


ing Condemned Murderers.
The garrote by which the anarchist
who killed the Spanish premier was
executed is named after it's inventor, a
Spanish ironworker, who witnessed a
bungling execution by n relative on the
gallows. which was the method em-
ployed by Spain up to about 80 years
ago by carrying out the sentence of
death.
.Garrote wondered that more eXpe-
ditious, aud, therefore, merciful, meth
cd had rr0t been discovered. He little
thought then that he would be the one
to furnish his country with a substitute
for the gallows, but the thought haunt
ed him so long that he at length found
it assuming ordered form in his mind,
and in time the ponderous death-deal-
ing machine that has immortalized him
in his country came to be a fact.
The two points of excellence claimed
fer the garrote are these: That it can
be made with reasonable care to kill
instantly, and that it sheds not one
drop of blood. Force that is measured
by horsepower is the agency it EN-
ploys, and its aim is the breaking of
the victims neck.
The unfortunate is first made to sit
in a chair directly under two heavy iron
bars, one of which is adjusted on the
back of his neck, and the other, vulgar
" known as the corbatin, or necktie,
under his chin. Then the eXecutioner
grasps the handle, gives a vigorous
twist, and death is instantaneous. The
entire machine is made of iron and or
dinarily weighs several hundred
pounds.
Persons who have witnessed all sorts
of capital punishment are unanimous
in the opinion that garToting is the
most revolving and appalling of all. 1t
is not always as expeditions as its in
ventOr made it possible to be. y vi
cious eXecutiOner can prolong it prac-
tically at will, and herein is the sys-
TENS great drawback, as it is now con
stituted. Cases are cited in which the
process was prolonged 20, 30 minutes,
even three-quarters of an hour! The eX.
ecutiouer merely gave twist enough tc
the handle or lever to choke his victim
Then he turned it back and twisted
again, this time a little more than al
| first, and so on until his spite, having
been satisfied, or his instructions, per
haps, obeyed, nc gave one final turn
and ended the tortured life. Such was
the execution of Maloia, in Matanzas
Cuba, in 1SsS!-N. y. Journal.
