"..eSilas died with little sufferirm, but of the agonies
of Charles, the younger and least guilty of the two, an
eye-witness declared; 'Evenwhile suspended from the terri-
ble scallolding, he clung to life with the ubmost tenacity;
He struggled, drew up his legs a dozen times or more, and
his whole body shook violently, while every now and then
his groans and occasional lang-drawn breaths broke the sad
and painful stillness, The scene was one which could hard-
ly be tolerated, except on recalling the fearful crime of
which the men were guilty,'" VOICES AGAINST DEATH by Mackey
