COSTLY EXECUTIONS.

Bills For Killing Criminals That Weres
Formerly Paid In Holland.
Edam, in Holland, where the Dutch
cheese comes from, has museum of
local antiquities, and among the not
least interesting of the exhibits are the
accounts of the municipal executioncrss
during the eighteenth century, says the
London Chronicle. One of these func-
tionaries, by name Vogel, presents de-
tailed bill dated Dec. 10, 1913, in which
he sets forth a claim for forms for
one decapitation and forms each for a
sword and winding sheet, with fiOrins
IA cents for coffin for the decapitatsd
one. His charge for hanging criminal
was also 6 forms, with the further adj
dition of forms for "cutting down
and impaling ditto. Breaking man
ON the wheel" was costlier luxury
and ran to 8 forms, while for supply
ing nine new lashes for scourge" thss
charge was 81 forms.
On the whole, however. Mr.. vogel
was moderate man in his charges OK
the value of human life went up u good
deal in the next 90 years, for in the no
less circumstantial accounts of Johannes.
Ka, presented Aug. /, 1854, we have "a
charge of l2 forms for "going on board
the Hans and preparing instruments of
torture" with q like charge for tor
turing one person. But this must have.
been for the lesser torture only, Ms ON
Aug. 80 the same Johannes sends in a
bill for "torturing three persons az "a
forms head'-total, 225 fiorius.
while few days later no less than 600
forms is charged for hanging four
persons at 100 forms each," and for
'"fiogging two persons and burning a
third" he exacts $50 forms. Clearly
considerations of economy, if not of hui
mainly, must have tended toward the
reform of the criminal code in Holland.
