The last execution on perma-

at Tyburn on Nov. I, 1888, the
malefactor being one John Austin,
condemned for highway robbery
with violence. For centuries Ty-
burn had been the scene Of execu-
tions. The gallows consisted Of
three posts, and around it were
open galleries, resembling race
stands, in which seats were let. On
account Of the disgraceful scenes on
the road. executions were trans

Conant wrote poem and called it
'sThe Doe and the Brook" 1t was a
fine specimen of the kind of work you
would expect from a poet who had
strayed with Amaryllis only as far as
the florists windows and whose sole
archaeological discussion had been car
ried on with a waiter. Conant signed
this poem, and we sent it to the same
editor
