WITH Ak AND BLOCK.
Criminal Efrcutions In Prussia stu
Performed by the Ncndsman.


Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia i'll the matter Of the
execution of criminals. The man SEN
fenced there to suffer capital punish
ment is led to the fatal block, and his
head is chopped off with itlcntically the
same sort of ak as that which was
used to put a period TO the career of
Charles l. in the Tower of London on
that fateful Both of January 252 years
ago. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century eXecu-
ton and that of the time OF Cromwell
Is that the condemned is not put to
death publicly.
In many parts of the German empire
the gtlillotine has taken the place of
the gallows and the block, but in Prus
STA old fashioned justice clings tena-
ciously to the old fashions, and not
the rope nor the automatic knife nor
the power of electricity has been able TO
disDlacc the broadaX as the laws o!li-
cial implement of death. The only
concession made to modern sentiment
Is in the garb of the eXecutionGr.
This functionary does not, at in the
earlier times, dress i'm doublet and hose
and hide his cnsanguined identity be-
hind Il frightsome mask. Instead, he
appears ut the execution CARRIED in a
frock coat of somher hue and correct
cut, and he wears upon his head, even
when delivering the death stroke. Il TAN

ilarly attired.
Why this garb was chosen no one
can say authoritatively. 1t is one of
those things the origin of which APP
