THoUGH its murder figures are leaping,
Il Britain is gradually discarding the idea
of hanging as punishment for capital crimes.
His Majesty's judges no longer reach for the
traditional black cap every time convicted
murderer is brought before the bar for SEN
fencing. Instead, they are dishing out terms
of Imprisonment.
According to the experts, Britain will have
a system of degrees of murder before another
year has passed. Capital punishment, they
say, will only be retained for the premedi
tated, carefully planned crime. All unpre-
mcditated crimes will be classed as
second degree murders and the approved
punishment will be penal servitude. This
only logical step in the process of reform.
As late as 1880, English law recognized
over 200 types of capital crimes. A man
could be executed for telling tree, robbing
a rabbit warren, stealing half a dollar, or
even associating with gypsies. But did it
reduce crime? At the time when picking
pockets was punishable by DEATH the occasion
of crowd at the public execution was recog-
nized by pickpockets as the most favorable
opportunity to begin operations.
The Veil il Lifted
lHE figures, in fact, prove that these minor
crimes decreased only after the penalty of
death had been rescinded The abolitionists
claim that here lies the proof that the death
penalty never has been a deterrent to crime
So if capital punishment is to 60, it is time
to lift the veil of secrecy that has cloaked its
existence since public executions were abol-
ished in 1868.
Some of the best-kept' secrets in Britain
have been those of the gallows shed. What
happens on the last dread night before the
am. summons?
The reactions of culprits facing the supreme
penalty have varied amazingly from one indi-
vidual to the next Edith Thompson, whose
letters to her lover Bywaters, were said to
have inspired the murder of her husband,
was carried unconscious to the gallows Black,
the poisoner of St. Austell, actually ran to
the shed. The prison chaplain had succeeded
50 we'll in convincing him of the joys OF ever
lasting life that Black could not wait to get
there, and stood on the trap with an eager
smile of anticipation on his face.
Goldenburg the l8-year old soldier who
shot the bank manager at Borden Camp,
bears the reputation of being the bravest man
who ever went to the scaffold. He disdained
the help of the two wardens who normally
rot the condemned person along, their arms

under his elbows and refused the white hood.
Another celebrated killer, Major Armstrong,
sat silently for the three allotted weeks await
ing the rendezvous. Then, as he toed the drop
with aperfectly firm step. he called Coming
that of his murdered wife nor of any woman
mentioned at the trial.
Poisoner Palmer's wisecrack, "Are you
sure it's safe?" as he stepped on the trap,
furnished one of the few touches of grim
humor in the annals of the gallows shed.
Another killer spent his last moments rebuk-
ing the chaplain for being late.
in a few minutes l shall be seeing your
Govnor," he said, "and shall tell Him how
unpunctual you parsons are down here
Too Much for the Hangznan
Nor all of the occupants of the condemned
cell meet the end so philosophicaly Many
men have been dragged screaming along the
corridor The Edith Thompson execution was
so narrowing that eight years later, John
Ellis. senior hangnlan of England committed
suicide, after first trying to kill his wife and
young daughter His wife said afterwards she
was certain he had never recovered from hang
ing Edith Thompson.
Those who saw Mrs Thompson sentenced
will never forget her groan. II am innocent,
oh, God, am innocent as she sank down in
the dock beside her convicted lover. Those
Af.,I c1 H@u
loway gaol have become legend in that
prison. She has furnished the material
for at least two novels and one play.
Women have sized her up as being cold, cal
culating and ruthless. But her charm and
appeal were sucn that everybody connected
deed he had to do. Many wardens left the
service after she was hanged.
Condemned BY Letters
l HE passionate letters which she wrote to
Bywaters condemned Edith Thompson. At
adviser she was asked, why did you write
such letters?" She replied. But had to.
You should have seen the letters he wrote me-"
She was loyal and destroyed the letters
she received, but Bywaters, for some reason
it has been suggested that he meant to black
mail her later i kept all of hers. 1t was
these which sealed her fate
Bywaters met his death coolly enough. One
of the last sentences he uttered at Pentonville
Prison concerned heavyweight champion
ship fight about to take place.
