SITE OF TYBURN TREE.
Marble Tablet Placed on Spot Wber,
Thousands Met Death.


Thousands Met Death.
Thousands of English malefactors
and thousands who were not malefac
tors, according to modern ideas, me-
their death at the hands of the hang
man on spot in one Of the busies
centers of London county council. {
London dispatch says.
The spot is the site of the famou!
Tyburn tree, the gallows on which
London's criminals were hanged fol
more than 900 years. 1t is situatec
at the junction of Oxford street, Edge
ware road and Bayswater road, oppo
site the marble arch which marks thu
principal entrance to Hyde Park
Shops and mansions look out on thu
spot which was once avoided by ths
superstitious.
The London county council has
marked the exact spot where the per
manent gallows stood by letting tab
let into the roadway. 1t bears an ex
cellent representation Of the old gal
lows, surrounded by triangle will
the following inscription:
Here stood Tyburn Tree. Removed
1759."
The exact site was only fixed afteI
much research and poring over old
maps by the county councils archaeo
logical experts. The reason for the
difficulty was that different authorities
equally trustworthy-gave two sites
for Tyburn tree, and 1t was not until
1t was discovered that there were real
ly two Of them that the mystery was
solved. The spot now marked is the
site of the old permanent gallows
which 1t is known was in use In 1196
which was probably standing for many
years before than time and which was
removed in 1859. 1t was replaced by
movable gallows which was situated
few hundred yards away and was
finally removed In 1888, when 1t was
decided that public executions were
barbarous spectacles, and that men
and women should be hanged in fu.
ture within the walls of Newgate pris
on.
At the time when Tyburn tree was
bearing its dreadful fruit It's site was
far out In the country. Oxford street
now London's greatest shopping thor
oughfare, was country road and was
known at Tyburn road. 1t Is the d.
rect route from Newgate prison, In the
old city Of London, to Tyburn, and. II
was the last road over which the con
demned men Travelled, sitting in an
open cart with priest or clergyman
standing beside them and a mob OF
curious spectators following. Hall
way to Tyburn tree there was liquor
shop known as Last Drink House, y
at which the condemned man was al
ways served with quart OF ale. That
has long since been destroyed and O
great business building stands on its
site.
Many famous criminals were hanged
on Tyburn tree and It Is estimated
that at least $4,000 persons met their
death there. Claude Duval. the IA.
nous highwayman, was hanged there
and John Price, the original Jack
Ketch," the hangman, was hanged for
murder in 1918 on the very gal
lows on which he had hanged 30 many
other men.

There is more catarrh in this sec- ton of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be i4eurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease ana prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment. pronounced it incurable. Sc 'ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
