The Old Prison Now Dsused.
men awaiting death there will be cleo
trically lighted offices, open and airy,
and tenanted by Industrious workers,
The contrast could hardly be more
complete
The structure that is now being de-
molished is by no means the original
Newgate. Several prisons have occu-
pied this part of London, the first be-
ing one of the towers of the old city,
which was at the new gate of the town
wall, and which thus gave it's name to
the prison. 1t was first mentioned in
1905. The building now falling before
the wreckers' hammers was begun in
ITO, but the Gordon rioters in 1850
partially destroyed the unfinished
structure.
Newgate was then rebuilt, and here
were imprisoned the chief criminals
of the metropolis, while those convict
ed of murder were publicly executed
before its doors. When public execu-
tons came to be considered demoral-
izing and evil in their efforts upon the
multitude who witnessed them, the
murderers were executed within the
prison and buried beneath the paving
stones of the hall leading through to
the Old Bailey. This hail was com
monty known rs the Graveyard"
Those who paid the penalty of death
within these grim precincts were OBJ
liberated by means Of quicklime placed
IN their collins, but a token of their ex-
istence was left in the shape of an
iron letter representing the initial of
their surnames and fastened in the
wall over their graves.
OF late years Newgate had only been
used for prisoners awaiting trial at
the Central Criminal Court building
and for those there condemned to
death At Newgate, moreover, only
murderers whose crimes had been
committed in the metropolitan district
were executed. Transporting murder
ers are hanged at Wandsworth gaol,
unless otherwise ordered by the au-
thorities. 1t was in 1858 that the in
terror of Newgate was rebuilt on the
single cell system. In crowded times
the prison held nearly two hundred
convicts.
1t was out of cid Newgate that the
notorious Jack" Sheppard broke, and
the story of his escape, although it is
