That a state is attempting, success
fully or not to humanize the execution
of criminals is significant. 1t means
that there is strong sentiment against
the violence of hanging and electrocu-
ton. 1t is an interesting fact that
when the public used to be invited TO
executions, and even now when prison
inmates are sometimes forced to look
on at such scenes, the results are far
from salutary Prisoners become en-
ragged and embittered at the state do
ing what it condemns-taking life.
Perhaps the man was not convicted
beyond doubt. Men have been exc
cuted >and later exonerated of the
blame Tor the crime for which they
died.
The public, too. revolted at hang
ings- Doctor budding tells of a public
hanging that was held in one county
of West Virginia. Crowds came to the
sight. The man sentenced to die had
killed his sweetheart. He walked 20
the gallows with a red rose in his but
tonhoie and his mother and sister
came with him to tell him goodbye.
