Every hanging which has taken place
in Worcester County in my recollection
which covers period Of 90 years. has
furnished the occasion for a kind of
holiday resulting in drunkenness and
frequent disorder Around the galows
the morbidly curious crowd Of men, wo-
men and children would gather, testing
and laughing as a soul is launched into
eternity. and in the case Of Grano these
scenes were re-cnacted at the gallows.
while at thc JAIL just preceding the
execution. the conduct Of many was
revolving in the extreme
But there il another aspect Of the
case which is frequently overlooked
and that j, the qualification Of the
morbidIy curious for many day prior
