SENSATIONS IN HANGING. There are many instances on record in which the punishment of sus. per coL haw failed, either through some pecul iarity in the nock of the individual, or a want of tact in the hauginan. More than six centuries ago—if old records are frue—Juetta de Balsham, convicted of harboring thieves, was sentenced to be executed. She hung for three days, re vived, and wa6 pardoned as a phenome non who had somehow or other over mastered the gallows. There is the au thority of Obadiah Walker, master of New College, Oxford, for a story that a Swiss was-hanged thirteen times over, every attempt being frustrated by a pe culiarity in the wind-pipe which pre vented strangulation. We aro not told whether the thirteenth time was suc cessful, or. whether justice was merciful at last Ann Green was hanged at Ox ford for infanticide in 1650; uay, her ' legs were pulled, and her body struck with soldiers' muskets, in accordance with a barbarous custom sometimes adopted of making assurance doubly sure. Nevertheless, she survived after hanging some considerable time. Her body was given up for dissection. The surgeon observed faint signs of anima tion, tended nor instead of anatomizing her, and in thirteen hours she was able to .speak. She remembered nothing dis tinctly of what had occurred, but seemed to herself to have been in a deep sleep. The crown pardoned her; she married and 1 leeame the mother of a family, and her husband forgavo her the errors of her pißt life, possibly for a kind of ce lebrity which the singular opisodo had brought to her. Other examples of a more or less anal ogous kind are tlie following : A woman —name unrecorded--was hanged in IHOB. She came to herself after a sus peusiou for the prescribed period, not by slow d?grees, but suddenly. John Green experienced mi ordeal something like that of Ann Green. After being hanged at Tyburn, his body was taken to Sir William Blizard, a celebrated sur geon ; and while out on a table in the dissecting room ho displayed signs of life and effectually recovered. A female servant of Mrs. Cope, of Oxford, con victed of some penal offense, was exe cuted in 1650. After hanging an unusu ally long time she was cut down and fell heavily to the ground. The shock re vived her, but the unfortunate wretch was effectually hanged the next day. Margaret Dickson, a century and a half Hgo, was convicted of concealment of birth, and was subjected to the last pen alty of the law. Her body, after hang ing on the gibbet at Edinburgh, was cut down and given to her friends. They put it in a coffin, and drove off with it in a cart six miles to Musselburg. Some apprentices rudely stopped the cart and loosened the lid of the coffin. This let in the air, and the air and the jolting revived her. She was carried in doors alive, but faint and scarcely conscious : a minister came to pray with her, and she effectually recovered. No mention of collusion occurs in this narative, al though some incidents would seem to poiut that way. Margaret lived many years, and had other children born to her, and was familiarly known in Edin burgh, where she sold salt, as " Half hanged Maggie." Instances are known in which a re bound after the fall has enabled the feet of the victim to touch the platform, and with what ultimate result has to be de termined by a conflict between mercy and sternDess on the part of the author ities. A disgraceful scene took place at Edinburgh in 1818. The rope with which a. man was hanged being too loose, his toes touched the platform, the assembled mob got up a riot on some pretext, tin lialf-hauged man was carried off, re captured, and finally hanged on the fol lowing day. A scene of a similar de plorable naturo had been witnessed at Jersey a few years previously. A whimsical legend, made'the subject of one of Southey's ballads, relates to a man who was resuscitated after hangiug and disappeared from the gibbet iv a mysterious manner. In ninety-one Btauzas Southey tells the story of l>oprecht, the robber, believed in' Ge rmany to have some foundation in fact Roprecht. who had long been a terror to he inhabitants of Cologne, was at length caught, tried, sentenced and ex ecuted. On the next morning, ;to the surprise «^f the early pasMm by. the gibbet was found to bo empty. One week later Roprecbt was seen hanging there nguin, but wearing boots and spurs instead of shoes. What this could all mean was left to Peter Suoye to tell. He and hLs son Piet were driving home late on the night after the execntion. Passing near the gibbet they heard a low moan. Look ing up they found it to proceed from Roprocht. Robber and rascal though he might be, they did not like to leave liim in such a pitiable state. They cut him down, put him into their cart, and carried him to their home, revived him, and concealed him from the authorities Whatever virtues Roprecht may have possessed, gratitude was not one of them, for we are told that one morning early, before the family wjw astir, he took Pe ter's horse and Piet's boots and spurs and absconded. But Frau Saoyc. who had some little suspicion of j^f ;x-a. i overneard some of his movements and aroused her husband and eon. These two mounted spare horses, gallo|H>d after him, kept him in sight, overtook him, seized him after a desperate strog- ! gle, dragged him to the gibbet and thero hanged him mof t effectually. His own rope was ieaJj there, To meu»re the length we took Rood care; And the job which the bungling hangman began. 1 his time, I think, was property done By me and Pi«t Peterzoon, my son. Many instances—how many wo are never likely to know—have occurred in which the culprit and his friends made arrangements beforehand io defeat tho hangman's endeavors. M. Vanderkiste, in his " Six Years' Mission Among the Dens of London," mentions a woman who was condemned to death for passing forged bank notes. Her friends, with surgical aid, caused a silver tube to l>o inserted in her throat some short time before tho rope was placed around her neck. This prevented strangulation. Her friends obtained possession of the l>ody and restored her, though with great difficulty. She lived many years afterward. Iv 1696, Richard Johnson, of Shrewsbury, sentenced to death for some crime, persuaded the Sheriff to agree that his body, after hanging, should be put in a coffin without being stripped. The Sheriff may have been kind, but was certainly weak, for cords had been twisted around and under the body, connected with a pair of hooks at the neck, and all concealed under a double shirt aud llowing periwig. But tho conning was frustrated, despite the weakness of the Sheriff, as Johnson showed signs of life, even after hanging half an hour. An examination was made, the apparatus discovered, and tho man successfully and fiually hanged on the following day. Whether any tube was inserted we are not told, but there was evident collusion in the case of tho man hanged at Cork in 1767. His body was carried by his friends to a prede termined spet, where a surgeon made an incision in the windpipe aud resusci tated the man in six hours. Let us hope that the rest of the story is not quite true, to the effect that the fellow went to the theater the same evening. The William Duell who was hanged in 1740, who came to himself again when just about to I*3 dii-sected at Surgeon's Hall, may, like Ann Green, have sur vived through fome peculiarity in the neck or some clumsiness on the part of tho executioner, without any collusion or cunuiug among his friends. In 1787 a niau named Kelly was sentenced to execution at Trim, in Ireland. On the early morning of the day intended to be his last he contrived to cut his blanket into strips about. four inches wide, join them together with strong woolen threads and form m double sling. This he passed under his arms, fastened the ends at his neck and there provided an iron hook to receive.the halter. Thus accoutred he proceeded to the place of execution. ; It is supposed that ho' found means to bribe the hangman, to whom Jig made a re quest to draw up close to the pully and lower him gently when dead. But the crafty maneuver .lid not succeed. Kelly had not allowed for the stretching of tho strips of blanket by his own weight, the poiut of the hook fastened into his wind- I pipe arid gave him such pain that he struggled violently. Ho was, however, allowed to hang until he was really dead, when the sling apparatus was discovered. A successful attempt to cheat the gal lows once brought an under-shcriff into trouble.: William Barrett, executed in Tyrone in 17-7^, contrived to wear some kind «it a concealed collar, which pre vented strangulation ; he was cut down apparently dead, but afterward re covered. Mr, Aunslcy, -sheriff, as a punishment for allowing Bar rett thus to evade the law, was lined £100 and imprisoned for two years. In former times the mode in which the dismal operations of the gallows were conducted led occasionally to a frustra tion of the law's intention; The un happy culprit, alter the halter was ad justed around his neck, was pushed so as to slip or slide from a ladder. As phyxia was sometimes produced without any dislocation. Under the modern ar rangement a trap door opens in a plat form on which the culprit stands; occa sioning a sudden and considerable fall, from which recovery is much less prob able. This change led to the frustra tion of a plan that might possibly have been successful under the old system. William Brodio was executed in Edin burgh in 1793. His friends had prear ranged for his resuscitation, but the fall of the drop was greater than had been expected, and kc waa quito doad when taken down. There is an old Scotch say ing, •' lirodie's drap was too much for Brodie," which, wo believe, refers to the case of this William Brodie, for the "drap " or drop was too great for the vital organism to resist. A reprieve has sometimes arrived too late to save the poor wretch in whose behalf it had been obtained. More fort unate was a burglar who wats hanged in 1705, for the reprieve arrived when life was only half extinct. He was quickly cut down, placed under medical care, and restored. A reprieve of another kind from the effect* of a foolhardy trick came a little too late. In 1806 a youth aged 17, and named . Matthew Watson, resolved to make a small attempt at hanging himself, "to sec how it felt." He went into a cellar,' and succeeded more completely than he had intended, for he was found hanging with life quite extinct. A strange mania this, but the examples to illustrate it are more nu merous than most of us would suppose. A question arises which very few liv ing persons are in a position to answer, viz.: What are . the sensations experi enced during hanging?. Some of the few who have been able to give any ac count of their consciousness at so criti cal a moment say that, after one instant of pain, the chief sensation is that of a mass of brilliant colors filling j the eye balls. Tho Quarterly .Hcvicio, volume 85, treating on thi* ; matter, gays : "An acquaintance of Lord Bacon, who meant to hang : himself partially, lost his foot ing, and was cut down at the last ex tremity, having nearly paid for his curi osity with his life, lie declared that he felt no paiu, and his only sensations were of , firo before his eyes, which changed firat tto black and ■[ then | to sky blue. These colors are even a source of pleasure." ' . . ---^i --=* I . 4»^ apt' Montagnac, who was executed m France during the religious wars, but was rescued from the gibbet at the in tercession of Marshal Tnrrene, com plained that, having lost all pain in an instant, he had been taken from a light of which the charm defied ' description. Another criminal, who escaped through the breaking of the halter, said after a second or wo of suffering a light '■■ ap peared, and across it a most beautiful avenue of trees. All agree that the un easiness is quite momentary, that a pleasurable feeling T immediately suc ceeds that colors of various hues start up before the eyes, and that, these hav ing been gazed at j for a limited space the rest is oblivion. The mind, averted from the reality of the situation, is en cased m scenes the most remote from THE ST.PATJLSUyDAy GLOBE, SwNDJbY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19. 1882. J iiiju wujcn nns tne eyes of tun spectator. | Medical men have paid much attention . to the anatomy of the neck and throat in regard to the circumstances which ! bring about asphv** suffocation or choking, and they say*that some necks possess a power of resisting these effects to a very remarkable degree. ALLIGATORS. ■'- ' Some Stories About the Reptile*. '■'[ ' [From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1 Mr. Will Smith, who was for a long period keeper at the jetties when they were in course of - construction, tells some curious stories about alligators, which were very numerous there and through the marshes. - The men bo-, came so accustomed to them that they would hardly turn aside to avoid the largest, and on Sunday it was quite a common ". amusement to shoot them, sometimes half a dozen or a dozen be ing secured,' in an afternoon. It -is » mistake to suppose that a rifle ball will not penetrate an alligator's hide, as one from a Winchester striking it in tho head, the toughest part, will generally take the whole top of the skull' off. Northern - people visiting the •_ jetties were anxious to see alligators, . and one immense fellow, apparently seventeen feet iv length, was encouraged to stay in the river in the vicinity, and was known as Col. Andrews' pet. The Colonel was quite incensed at one time by the fact that one of the men fired at his fa vorite with a revolver, v and by discover ing on another occasion ; that Walker, who is said to have hooked a whale, had made preparations to capture the 'alli gator by means of a rope, a huge shark hook and twelve pounds of boef. • Al though the bait .was shoved invitingly under the reptile's nose as ho lay on the bank iv the sun, he was too shrewd or not hungry enough .to be templed. "The pet" remained' about a year or two, and may. still be'there.. One even ing as some men were'unloading a barge of rock a huge alligator arose out <>;' the water alongside, and one* of the men pitched a fifteen-pound stone at it., which, from a height of twelve or four teen feet,"landed directly on its head. The head must have been- smashed, hard au it was, for the saurian, after turning half a dozen;' somersets and - going through a number |of antics, sunk slowly, and seemed dead! Mr. Smith was coming down the river one Sunday in a perogue with another man, a late arrival, when they saw an enormous alligator asleep on the ban!; Smith proposed having some fun with him, and, without disturbing his slum bers, pulled up alongside, and. crowding tho boat ashore, stood up in it and be gan a vigorous attack on the sleeper with paddles. Contrary to their expect ations, the. sluggard started toward them in his hurry to reach the water, and, crawling over the boat, upset them in the mud knee deep and filled the boat with filth and water. Their clothes were ruined, and they were pretty thoroughly disgusted en ascer taining that the. alligator had lost an eye. They had attacked him from the blind side, and he had rolled over them before he found where the trouble started. There are numerous individuals in the South who make a living by killing and catching alligators'. The hide of a largo one is worth from $1 to $2 ; but it is very hard work" to take it off, and is almost a day's task. From the flesh a very strong and quite valuable oil is made, which is used for many purposes, but principally as a remedy for rheu matism. ■ It has,' however, a most un pleasant smell unless properly treated. Many fishermen have been known to eat portions of the meat, that of the tail being said, when cooked, to have much the appearance of veal and taste some thing like pork. Quite a lucrative busi ness is that of capturing alligators alive to send away for exhibition. CoL Williams, when Spanish Fort was made a summer, resort, made a contract with a fisherman to fill the hole known as the alligator pond for him, and in the course of a couple of weeks he had it stocked with thirty or forty,,ranging in length from six inches to seven or eight feet. The man who caught them showed no fear in handling the huge reptiles, and for !?5 offered to get into the hole and throw the- largest one out over the paling, by which it was surrounded. They are said to exhibit:.wonderful alacrity in "going for" a colored person, and dogs are their favorite diet, -while "they will, as a general thing, endeavor to avoid a white man. The man who supplied the pond and his companion have' been known to bring into camp in a small skiff an aligator sixteen feet long' arid furious with rase. The manner of accomplishing this feat was, as he explained) quit* simple. The old arc savage and will fight for their young, and this fact is taken advantage of. Some of the young are caught out of the spot in which the old one is lying, and a stout-noosed rope is' then placed where to emerge 'ahd must tnrust her head through it. When all is ready the young are allowed „to cry out, and the old lady thrusts out her head to have her neck caught in the noose. She is dragged around in the water until pret ty well choked, when another noose is secured on her tail, arid she is firmly strapped, stomach downward,'on a wide board, which she cannot bror.k, as her powerful muscles in the tail act only in a lateral direction. Her head is then fastened to \ the' boat, the noose about her neck is removed, and 'she is 1 tow«l away after her youm* have been placed* in the ; skill. -Young one.* • are bought by dealers for from $2 to $1 a dozen, if not over a foot iv length. | When they sell them they get a much higher pride, as they are hard to preserve alive. The large ones are sold differently, there being an increase in'price of 50 cents to $1 for every additional foot over a cer tain length. Alligators sixteen or eigh teen inches long are frequently; found by the dozens in shallow water, and can be handled without trouble '"providing the old one, who is generally near, does not take the -alarm. Most alligator fishers aio usually turtle tomtom also, and search "along the shoves of -bayous anil lagoons for • the \ holes jof tho ani mals. When the hole is discovered it is explored with a long'poloT with, a big hook set in the end, and if the unfort unate resident is at home he is prompt ly, dragged out in spite of his struggles and quickly appears in market. *• The eye of a young alligator, when . closely examined in a^strong light, is a * oncer and rather prettx sight,-having" all the fir« and much "the appearance of , an opal of a similar size.
