WINIATA'S EXECUTION.

Post Mortem Sympathy.

Now that Winiata has paid with his lifi the penalty of the foul aodjcold-bloodec crime which he perpetrated more than sb years ago upon an inoffensive fellow-ser vannt, it was" to be hoped that tin unhealthy interest engendered by his ttia. would die ont and tbo matter cease to b< talked of. There seems a disposition, how. ever, in certain quattera to evoke a certain amount of posthumous sensation out of the event, and by posing the myrmidons oi the law in the attitude ot merciless executioners of a coDgenial duty to evoke for tho wretched criminal who has expiated his crime upon the scaffold a certain amount of maudlin sympathy. It is a notable fact that the notoriety which a murderer enjoys often tends to his exalta tion among a certain class of people, and that they become morbidly compassionate to him, while very often a corresponding detestation is felt for the officers of justice, Our morning contemporary seems to have been swayed to a very considerable extent by a feeling of this sort, and its lamenta tions over the possible suffering ot the victim of retributive justice would be really heartrending were the circumstances different. In its opinion, the execution was "a cruel, re volting and barbarous exhibition," " a hor rible and brutal performance," an "out rageous and inhuman exhibition," a "har rowing mistake," a "shocking and scan dalous scene," aud it candidly admits that the account it gives of tho affair -" is a horrible and ghastly story." No one who has read the narrative will question the accuracy of this generalised r lorence to it, but very many will bo incliucd to doubt whether the premises arc sufficient to justify the use of so many sensational phrases, and the infliction of such strictures upon the men who had to perform a disagreeable duty, In the interests of fair play, and for the elucidation of the truth in the matter, we have made diligent and searching enquiry of overyoue who was present at tho execution as to the manner in which it was carried out, and we havo also taken the trouble to look up medical authorities on the subject of hanging. Our contemporary founds its wholj argument, guch as it is, upon the assumption that great and unnecessary cruelty was practised upon Winiata, and without expressing an opinion either way we shall place tbe evidence for and against such a supposition before our readers, allowing them to draw their own conclusions. It seems to be generally ad mitted that the hangman did not adjust the noose very skilfully, but that fact is quite im material if it can be shewn that the drop was followed by immediate unconsciosness. The testimony that we have obtained bears principally upon this point. The Reporters' opinion, Amongst the spectators present there were five representatives of the Press, and four ot these gentlemen agree in thinking that any pain the doomed man suffered must have been of a v.-y transient character. Several of them t.tw the body after it fell, noticed the muscular action ot the trunk, and heard distinctly tho stertor ous breathing of tho expiring criminal, but not one ot the four perceived anything peculiarly repulsive or cruel about the exe cution. They believe that' had the rope not been so swollen with the rain as to prevent its running qnickly into a tight noose, or had it been better adjusted, the breathing would have been Icsj pro longed, but ihey think that the shock of tbe drop from the scaffold was quite effectual in producing instantaneous insen sibility. They concur in stating that the executioner, after entering the enclosure at the foot of the gallows, did clutch the body of bis victim iv order to hasten strangulation, but they regard this as a matter of course, instead of being a subject of special horror. It was tho invariable practice of Calcraft to do the same thing, and if it tends to the speedier extinction of the flickering spark of life, ultra-sensitive people should rather commend than com demn tbe action. In all these matters Mr Uriah Glover (another spectator) gives corroborative evidence. A Close Observer's Testimony. As Mr C. 0. Montrose was the reporter who had the best opporlnnity of judging of the effects of the drop, inasmuch as he had the best view of the whole proceeding, and took tbe earliest means of seeing the result, we give verbatim the answers he made to one or two interrogations on the main point :— Reporter : I believe you were one of those who witnessed the execution. Mr Montrose : Yes. Keporter: Are you of opinion that Winiata was subjected to any unnecessary pain? Mr Montrose :If yon ask me whether or not I consider that tbe hanging was skilfully performed my reply would be in the negative. But as to whether Winiata suffered any unnecessary pain, I do not think he did. The position I occupied towards the scaffold was nearer than that of the other spectators. Immediately after the drop occurred I heard loud stertorous sounds, resembling those heard in strangulation, and 1 went forward to hear more distinctly. I was, in fact, one of the persons who are said in one account of the execution to have "made an unseemly rush," though I don't consider it unseemly in a member of the Press, who is present on such occasions in a representative capacity on behalf of the public, to adopt any legiti mate means of observation. The sounds continued for a minute or two and then ceased. At first^tbey were so loud as to excite in me a feeling that the drop had not been effectual, and that Winiata was being subjected to strangulation. I stood with in a yard or two of the enclosed part of the eeaftold, and could see through the cracks between the boards that there was just that degree of vibration and swinging of the body as would occur from the tighten? iDg of a suspended weight suffered to fall suddenly. Immediately afterwards the executioner entered by the door, and for an instant, between the opening and shutting of the door, I had a view of the body. My opinion is that sensation was then practi cally extinct. There was no violent spas modic motion, and nothing to indicate that life and feeling remained. Moreover, since the execution I have read a chapter in "Taylor's Medical Jurisprudence," and referred to other works, which confirm my opinion that consciousness ceased almost instantaneously after the drop. The " Herald's" reporter, who boasts an intimate acquaintance with Marwood's mode of execution, is, therefore, the only one of the Press representatives who thinks Winiata was put to unnecessary pain. Dr. Philson's Opinion. Dr. Philson was interviewed on the sub ject this morning, but, according to his own fords, he was unwilling to make any off hand statement that might bring him into collision with the authorities. In answer to auestions, however, ho expressed his confident' belief that the drop from the gallows mast have caused such a shock to the Bpinalcord as to have deprived Winiata of consciousness almost instantaneously. He Ijeard the man breathe stertorously for several minutes afterwards, but he does not regard this by any means a proof of sensi bility to pain. Dr TennenVs Opinion. " Our reporter next saw Dr Tennent, who was also present at the execution, and, as this gentleman was less reserved, we give his statement in his own words- "I think the banging was clumsily performed. It is the custom with executioners to place the knot of the rope on the side of the neck in juxta position to the carotid or jugular artery, so that when the drop takes place it naturally slips round to the back of the neck and causes an immediate rupture of the verterbrm of the spinal column the out ward result being that the head falls tor wind upon thebreast. Inthecasdof Winiata, the ordinary hangman's noose and knot were discarded in favour of a smooth eye let, ' through which the rope had to run, but the rope Was improperly adjusted, while a bight was left in the noose under the chin, large enough to contain a man's hand. The consequence was that when the weight of the body fell udou the rope it tightened round the sides of the neck, but left the front free, and hence the stertorous breath mg'tbat ensued. In my opinion, the man must have been conscious of pain, from the sudden accumulation of blood in'the super ficial veins, caused by the strangulation, as well as the expression on tho coun tenance when the body was coffined. There was also visible a protracted wrigg ling of the body and writhing of the limbs that most have been the result of pain, This action'lasted from five to eight minutes, for I took the precaution to time it I have witnessed executions in Eng land India (during the memorable mutiny, China, the West Indies, America, but I have never seen a case paralleling this one in clumsiness and; in

efficiency. The methods of despatching criminals that I have seen have been various, and, to my mind, one that I Baw in Canada, where electricity was used, was the most painless of all. The criminal had his head connected with a wire lead ing to an electric battery, and, at the required moment, by the mere pressure of a button, the man's brain was paralysed, so that he became instantaneously deprived of feeling. This was but an experiment, however, and I do not believe that hanging has yet been discontinued in Canada. The French system of killing, by means of the guillotine, or by electricity, or shsoting, are nil, in my opinion, preferable, in this pro gressive 19th century, to the abominable practice of haDging up a man or woman to die by strangulation. It is a manner in which one would not care to kill a dog, be cause it is well known that hanging, except it is performed scientifically (i.e., instan taneously), is nothing short of murder.

J Captain Barry on the Execution. i, Captain W. J, Barry attended the cxc . cution, in order to obtain a finishing chapter to his new book, and he also has a , strong opinion in regaid to it. He says :— , " I have seen in the course of a busy life several scores of men hanged, sometimes , a dozen at a time, but Winiata's execution ; licks all. This new fangled system is no gocd; the old thimble and loop is the most effectual way of doing the businees. I . could hear the man gurgling for several minutes after the bolt had been drawn, and the rope showed that he was struggling also. This is not a usual thing a1; executions. The Rev. J. Wallis's Opinion. The last person whom we have spoken to on the subject is the Rev. Mr Wallis, who regularly visited Winiata after sentence bad been passed upon him, and who accom panied him on to the scaffold. He says : "I havewitnossed a great many executions, but I have never seen one to disgracefully carried out as the execution of Winiata. When Te Pata was executed for the mur der of Morgan, the hanging was performed by that wretch Fletcher. Well, that was had enough, but this was very much worse. The rope was l^ot at all placed in the linht position, and the man waa therefore only strangled. He struggled five or six min utes after the bait had been drawn, and breathed heavily. I was to dis gusted that I walked a dozen yards away, returned, heard again tho gurgling noise, walked away, came back to hear it once more, and the- a third time traversed the distance before the sounds became inaudible. There is no doubt, as you say, that a few minutes would seem long under such circumstances, but after making due allow ance for all thi*, I think five minutes must have elapsed from the drop of the man until he ceased struggling and gasping for breath. Ido not think the neck was broken by the fall; indeed, Ido not see how it could be. Dr Philson had his doubts about that. The gurgling noise of which I spoko is not always heard at executions. I never before heard it, except In that case of Pata's. In the case of Natene, who was executed for strangling a native girl, the fall was followed by instantaneous death, and not the slightest movement of the body was visible. True there was a kind of mus cular motion for a few moments but that was all. In the case of the native who was hanged for tho murder of Thompson it was juat the eamc. Besides these, I have seen two other natives executed, and with them also there were none of the re sults attendant upon the hangiug of Winiata. When the body fell I was stand ing upon tho gallows, and, by looking straight down I could see it struggling and ihe limbs writhing in agony, Tho hangman then ran down and .entered the enclosure, but the whole thing had been so horrible that I did not care to look what he did. I huve before seen the lowcr, ; ,part of tho scaffold boarded in. I imagine that the executioner must have thrown himself upon the body, for the rope, which had been vibrating in an agitated way, became steady after he entered, before seen the lower part of the scaffold, It was a barbarous sffair altogether, When I saw the man adjusting the rope I noticed that he did it differently from what I had ever before Been. The rope too, was as thick as a small cable. I do not wish to see such a horrible affair again, Opinion of the Governor of the Gaol. Mr O'Brien, Governor of the Gaol, states that the rope used ia the execution was the regulation size,and it bad been well stretched the day before. The portion round the throat had been under cover, and was not wet. The executioner was no novice at his work. Probably his experience was as extensive as Marwood's, and in tho pre parations be displayed a thorough know ledge oj all the necessary detail?. When the drop fell, the executioner made a move ment to come down from the scaffold, and then appeared to hesitate, on account of the crowd clustering round, He (Mr O'Brien) Btepped forward, and the execu tioner came down ihe steps and went in underneath, where he remained some minutes. He subsequently explained that the fall had disarranged Winiata's trousers, which were not kept up either by braces or a strap, and that to prevent an exhibition of inde cency he had been occupied in adjust ing his clothing, which ha had experienced some difficulty in doing, owing to the trousers being strapped at the bottom of tho legs. Mr O'Brim is strongly of opinion that the drop, which was one of over Bft., instantly broke the neck and extinguished all sensation. The foreman and members of the jury were also of opinion that the spinal column was shattered. The stertor ous noiae, Mr O'Brien says, is by no means uncommon, and be explains itiu this way : When the culprit feels the drop fall away, he instinctively takes in a long convulsive breath. As ihe rope tightens immediately afterwards, the air thus inspired is forced by muscular con traction through a narrow orifipe, producing the noise mentioned. He (Mr O'Brien) saw the body immediately after the fall, and before the executioner went under neath, and it exhibited no motion except tha natural muscular quiver, and the slight swjiying of the rops from the fall. He is confident that all sensation, and probably life,had been instantaneously extinguished. He considers, from a long experience of executions, that no exception can be taken to the way the hangman went about his work. He did so quietly, methodically, without offence, and—in Mr O'Brien opinion—effectively. After the body was cut down, a deep indent made by the thimble was observable on tite side of tho throat, under the ear. Opinions of Standard Medical Authorities, The opinion of standard medical authori ties appears conclusive that struggles or stertorous breathing would not indicate pain. Taylor's "Medical Jurisprudence," after alluding to the occurrence of '.' a slight degree of respiration" in some instances, says :-—"Death from hang ing appears to take place vory rapidly, and without causing any suffering to the person. It is observed that in those who are crimin ally executed there are often violent convul sions of the limbs and trunk. There is no reason, however, to behove that the indivi dual suffers pain, any more than in the convulsion's of ah epileptic tit, On recovery there is an entire loss of con sciousness in both cases." A case is mentioned of a man named Hornshaw, who was on three occasions resuscitated from hanging—a feat which ho performed in London for the amusement of the public and he stated that he lost his senses almost at once, and other persons who have been rcatored state that the only symptoms of which they were conscious was a ringing in tho ears, a flash of light before the eyes, then darkness and oblivion. The author observes : "The only profitable inference, in a medico-legal view, which can be drawn from observations of this kind is that asphyxia is not only rapidly, induced, but that it supervenes [under circumstances where it would not j be generally expected to cccur-i.c, wheh the Weight of the body is in great part j suspended.'! This view, which 'is sup ' ported by many well-authenticated cases, in which rerpiration was never interrupted, and the subject was afterwards restored, js conclusive to onr mind that po trace of pain was suffered by Winiata from the'moment the bolt was withdrawn, j The shock which takes away life and con sciousness is too rapid in its effects to per mit of time for the sensation of pain.

THE REV. MR WALLIS ON WINIATA'S GUILT.

(To the Editor.) Sib -In the "Herald" this mdrning my "hypo thesis "as it Is called .that some other hand than winiata's inflicted tho fatal blow on Packer is viewed as untenable. I have no desire to force ta^ss^^« §ayS when it might have- hem committed "Smost people .were gsleep.to their beds. According to the evidence furnished at the trial of Winiata it appears that the servant girl in SL CleXrn s stamUy was out of bed. and pro nMinlto attend to her daily duties when she Eeard Packer address himseff to Winiata,^«W I ask is it reasonable to suppose that any man in hssenses would enter upon an expedi

tion of'bloodshed which included, not only the murder of his victim, but also tho removal of the corpse to a distant spot, and the concealment of It by piling a number of heavy posts or rails upon it, when he had reason to believe that some mom bor of the household was about and could observe his proceedings, as the female did who declared I ou oath that sne saw Winiatia go to Packer's room, and immediately after heard the latter inquire why he had come so early. I still main tain that according to the dictates of common sense, the murder must hare been committed at an earlier hour than the time specified at the trial, and that the actual murderer has yet to, be found, unless it can be shown that Winiata's appearance at four or five o'clock was a second visit to the fatal spot. I make no remark in regard to Packer's inquiry relative to Winiata's early visit, farther than that it appears to me that Packer's voice must have been unneces sarily high to a person so near to him as Winiata was, to be heard at a distance of thirty or forty yards. 1 write these few lines that the public may opine as to the soundness or other wise of my " hypothesis."—l am, Sec. J. WALLIS. [Kvidenco regarding time is always open to some doubt, but there are various reasons which point to the conclusion that Winiata meant to commit the murder earlier, but over slept himself. We agree with the " Herald, that no circumstance connected with the com mission of the deed gives tin slightest coun tenance to the belief that Winiata was not alono in its perpetration.—Ed. E.S.]
