France and uses the guillotin.
Execution had almost become
obsolete in France until public
sentiment was so aroused by the
ever increasing number of brutal
murders that in January, 1909,
the widow, as the French term the
instrument, was dragged out Of it's
retirement and four miscreants
we're publicly executed at Bethune.
in the north of France. o.
The guilotlne was invented by
doctor named Guillotine more
than century ago, but it is not
true that the inventor fell a victim
to his own device. He died quietly
in his bed. The guilotine consists
of two upright posts grooved on the
inside. An immensely heavy and
sharp steel blade is fixed to slide
in these grooves, and the execu-
toner has nothing to do but pull a
rope, when the blade drops and
decapitates the victim instantly.
There are a few countries wher e
capital punishment has been
abolished, notably Switzerland. In
Italy also there have been no
executions for civil offenses for
many years past.-St. Louis Post.

Pope ADMITTED TO BAIL

Assistant District Attorney
Carville returned Saturday after
noon from arbidge, where he
attended the preliminary examina-
ton of Roy Pope, charged with the
murder of a miner at Jarbidge
several weeks ago.
The examination was held last
Thursday before Justice of the
Peace Ray at Jarbidge. The state
had the body of the man exhumed
and DR.. West performed an AUTOPSY
to determine the point of entrance
and course of the bullets. The
autopsy showed that the dead man
had been shot twice from behind.
One Of the bullets struck him in
the back and passed clear through
the body; the other struck his left
arm below the elbow and passed
upward and lodged against the
skin above the elbow.
After the evidence had all been
submitted, Judge Ray held Pope
under $1,000 bonds to appear before
the grand jury. Pope gave the
bonds and was given his liberty.
While we do not knew all the
circumstances surrounding this
case, and upon what Judge Ray
based his order admitting Pope to
bail, the amount of the bond

EQUAL CHANCE FOR PRISONERS

Every few days some prisoner
is freed from the state penitentiary.
The sheriff's Office in this city is
always advised of the freeing of
the man or men, and the records
in that Office are gone over. If a
prisoner has to remain in this city
during the day he generally makes
the local Jail his headquarters,
and by train time has a chance to
see the town, stretch his legs and
make such purchases AS he desires
and his purse will stand.
The sheriff's office and the
members Of the force make little
or no publicity of such affairs,
and if one is moi acquainted with
the man released the matter is
never known to the general public.
BY this means the man is allowed
to go from his prison surroundings
and is certain that the wide world
do es not know his business.
The boys at the Office figure
that the man should be given a
chance TO start life over and with
out the lime light of publicity
being turned on.
= When it is remembered that all
the short-termers serve their time,
and a new crowd come and go
regularly, and how few are ever
known to the local people about
town, it IL easy to see how the
sheriff's Office handles the cases.
There is a watchful eye open at
the place, but the men who are
given new chance with the world
start equal with all mem if the
Carson authorities can render it
p ossible.-Carson Appeal.

the greatest difficulties which can
occur In the operation OF sinking a

been overcome by freezing the sand

CAPITAL PENALTY

There are many curious methods
of inficting capital pun ishment in
the various countries of the old
world, some of them tinged with
the cruelty of the dark ages. 10
Morocco is perhaps the most
medieval country in existence.
Flogging to death is still in vogue.
1t is not so very long ago that
Mulai Hatd had the Shereef
Kittain executed in this horrible
fashion.
The ameer of Afghanistan has
peculiar methods of making the
punishment fit the crime. A baker
for selling short weight, was roastd
in his own oven, and a man who
had started scare that the Russians
were advancing on Kabul was
placed on stool fastened on top
of tall pole and kept there on
sentry go till he died of sleepless-
ness and exl austion.
Political crimes are not un-
common in Persia land the
revolutionists, when caught, are
dealt with summarily- Four
conspirators who were recently
caught in the act of Throwing a
bomb in the crowded bazaar at
Teheran were hanged and quartered
in the same fashion that prevailed
in England up to the seventeenth
century. The remains of the
wretched men were hung at the
city gates as a horrible warning.
Austria is the only country
which employs this particular
me.thod of execution, but Spain S
garrote is very similar. The
original method of garroting was,
in fact nothing but strangJing,
The criminal was seated on a chair
fixed to post, loop of rope was
laced encircling his neck and the
post, and by means of stick or
cudgel Spanish garrote) inserted
between the post aid the condemned
mans neck the cord was frightened
until stranguiation ensued. ...
The modern garrote consists of
a brass collar containing sharp
pointed screw. The executioner
turns the screw. and its point
penetrates the spinal marrow,
causing instant death. r..
Every civilized country does its
best nowadays to make the dread
full task of execution as rapid and
painless as possible. Hanging as
at presnet performed is very diff
erent matter from what it used to
be in England.
Till nearly the end of the eight
zenith century the condemned man
was made to stand in a cart with
a rope around his neck, and the
car was then driven away from
under him. In 1888 parliament
abolished this practice as being
barbarous, and a platform was
substituted for the cart. In 1874
this method was improved by
proportioning the length of the
drop to the weight of the body.
! The state of New York in
4 augurated the electric chair many
years ago. but its only advantage
lover hanging is that the man who
switches, on the current is out of
sight of the death chamber and so
escapes the grewsome title of
public executioner.
| Formerly all criminals in England
died by the ax,and undoubtedly
the ak in the hands of skiIful
headsman was as merciful an
instrument of death as any which
exist today. In Prussia decapita-
ton by the ak is still the recognized
method of execution, but The rest
