CONv|CTS FORCED
TO SEE HANGING
SHERIFF AT CHICAGO MAKES A
cRuEsoME EXPERIMENT
IN PSYCHOLOGY.
PROTESTS ARE UNAVAILING
Off Ger Contended That Sisnt o.
Death Trappngs and Execution
Would Have Statutory Et-
feet on Criminals.

Ccicago-An experiment in psychol- |
o~v was tried at the county jail, in the
grizzly dim hour of dawn, when zoo
prisoners were forced to witness the
hanging of Raffaelo Outrage, convicted
murderer. Hardened criminals-se-
lected from among other murderers,
and felons whose expiration is not yet
the gallows-were placed in cells, tier
on tier of which surrounded the square
in which the scaffold had been erected.
It was the contention of Sheriff
Peters that the sight OF the gruesome
trappings would have a most Statutory
effect upon those in whose life might
come future temptations to slay or 10
rob or TO burn.
I And so firmly the sheriff believed
IN the efficacy Of tht5 idea that ne
persisted in it, despite the request OF
Gov. Lowden that he abandon MS
MAN. and other persons who thought
the scheme unnecessarily brutal.
Accordingly the stage was set in
the death chamber, Outrage was led
forth. The quiet in the death cham
her became absolute for a moment.
Then the moose was slipped over the
murderer's head. From one OF the
higher tiers came a strident shout:
when do we eat?"
Tier by tier, cell by cell, the cry
was taken up. 1t became roar
above which the wardens' voices could
not be heard.
The trap was sprung Outrage
dropped into the space beneath the
i, scaffold-dead.
when do we eat?" was his requiem
. Sheriff Peters later issued state
!. ment answering critics who opposed
r his action. The statement reads a.
g follows:
:. "In nv opinion the modern coddllnI
