1ANGMAN'S LIFE AT HOME.
Radcliffe is a most complex individ-
ual. His home is at 81 Fern avenue
in Toronto, where he lives in a pleasant
and where his neighbors and all those
with whom he Is acquainted have
nothing but good to say Of him. Re
has his own circle of acquaintance
and mikes very little with the general
public. In fact. so transformations are
his ways that In Toronto itself very
few know who he is or where he lives.
Who he was or what he was before
he came to Canada is q mystery. The
first time he became known was
through BirchalPs crime. When Birch
all was sentenced to be hanged the au-
thor1ties were In a Quandary as to
where they would find a man to carry
out the law Formerly some Jail Of
fetal, chosen by lot, or some prisoner
who was well paid for the work, had
done the actual hanging. In this case,
however, no one could be found who
was willing to undertake the job. Sud-
denly the steward and caretaker of the
Sunnyside Boating club Of Toronto Of
fered to do the work. This man proved
to be Radcliffe. AS he did his work re-
markably well, and as the boating
club did not wish to have anything
more to do with him after that. he
stuck to that line Of business. The
mystery of his previous life never has
been cleared up, however.
AS for the man, he is big, strong,
healthy, pleasant-looking Englishman,
wearing q light brown mustache. Those
who remember the hangman in Dumas
Marguerite of Valois" would imme-
diately see the resemblance. Through
stress Of circumstances he has accept
ed the position and he has no false
shame about it. He is abstemious,
and most Of his spare time Is taken
up in fishing and hunting, of which
he is very fond. All in all the official
hangman of Canada is remarkable
man.
