block has long I i nliolisiied
I England. In Germany the Idea has
I n anil still is to u great extent
that In order to muse human execu
tion a check upon crime mid to prove
a deterrent to murder, it should be
w il h as much horror as
possible. Advocates claim that the
I glistening axe and the hlarUrohod
I block are a greater symbol of thai
tenor of the final act of the law,
than the hangman's noose.
In Germany the law provides Ihat
the sentence of death must be exe
cuted through decapitation or be
heading. It leaves lo the different
slates I lie choice between the guillo
tine and ihe headsman Willi his axe
mid block. Many of the Gorman
stales have selected tile guillotine as
j less brutalizing and the lesser of two
j evils. The axe and block have play
i ed no such part In German history
I thai I hey have In England. Perhaps
j therein Hi's one of the reasons that
there has not I u KipuIar revulsion
I against their use. For centuries bc
; heading by an axe In the hands of
! the "public executioner." has been
j the lei:al means of pulling oon
t denined humans lo death in Geriu
; any. Yet today It Is sale to say thut
not one person in i u ent -ti e. could
gio the name of the public execu
tioner. The same could hardly be
! said in France where "lleihier" is a
mi t on n 1 character.
Prussians of the aggressive ruth
less type who made Prussia the main
factor In the empire, oppose the uhol
Isli'neut of ancient forms of Prussia
executions. They claim that the
Gorman uxe and bioi-k method is no
more inhuman 'than the forms or ex
ecutions in other countries. it is
contended by some that the axe Is
more Immune than the rope, in Her
man beheadings, the condemned man
has little opportunity to see any
thing of Ills executioner of his exe
cutioner or of the means employed.
In llerlln the executions take place
in tlle courtyard of the Plovtensee
penitentiary.
A large flat flagstone on which
Ihe headsman stands in order to
have a firm rooting marks the spot.
When Hie hour arrives, warders en
ter the cell of the condemned man
and quickly cut away the collar of
his shirt in order to leave tlie neck

ters the court yard through a small
door he is quickly wheeled about
so that his back Is toward the fatal

read to him that the sentence ot the
law Is about to he executed.
