DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES.
English Army Methods In the Execu-
tion of Condemned Spies.

English Army Methods In the Execu-
tion of Condemned Spies.
The ceremony of disposing of a con.
demned spy in the English army al
ways follows definite precedent.
The unfortunate man is surrounded
by detachment of infantry. and after
he is provided with a pick and shovel
he is marched off to a selected spot
and ordered to dig his own grave.
This done, the tools are taken from
him and his eyes are bandaged. The
attending chaplain reads portions Sc
lected from the burial service. and
from the ranks of the escort twelve
men are selected at random by the
officer in charge.
These men. having stacked their own
rifles, are led to where twelve other
rifles are awaiting them. six of which
are loaded with blank cartridges. One
of these is handed to each man, So
that no one knows whether the rife
he holds contains a bullet or not. and
none can say for certain that the shot
fired by him killed the prisoner. The
firing party then marches to an ap.
pointed position. The commands "Pre-
sent' Fire. are given. and almost
before the last word rings out the
volley is fred and the spy falls into
the grave he has dug.
Nearly every man is more or less af-
fected on being selected to form one
of the firing party, and many men
have been known to faint away on be
ing singled out, while others are so
overcome as to be scarcely able to
pull the triggers of their rifles.
