language, for both had been followers OF the

that this country was playing the part OF

Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-13

The arguments for changing the law
so that all hangings shall take place at
the state prison at Charlestown are can
vassed with interest, particularly in the
western part of the state, where the
memory of the O'Neil execution is fresh,
and where the expenditure of $500 for
this disagreeable duty seems like a
needless waste of money. The sheriffs
get no extra compensation for the serv-
ice rendered, so that they have no pc
cuniary interest in the matter, but it is
pointed out that as executions are COM
paratively rare in any one county, ex-
perience in the business is out of the
question, and unfamiliarity with the de-
tails breeds uncertainty, anxiety and
liability to bungling. If all executions
were to be conducted by the state a
permanent system and a permanent ap-
paratus, such as are found in other
states might be provided, with the result
of diminished expense, guaranteed GER
tainty and better order. The proceed
ings might then be more easily regulat-
ed, and the morbid curiosity which
