By A. E. Jones Deputy \(First of A HISTORY OF CAPITAL PUN-ISHMENT, by John Laurence, with a Comment on capital punishment by Clarence Darrow; Citadel Press, New York, 1960, 230 pp., illus., $5. AUSTIN Laurence’s objective history of capital punishment, long out of print, has been re-issued. Legislators and citizens of this state who are disposed to uphold the death penalty to avenge society and rid us of troublesome presences may as well make use of this occasion to inform themselves of the conservative foundations, that is, the history of their colorful institution. Beheading, compulsory suicide, and poisoning are recorded in ancient accounts from China, Egypt, and Assyria. The first death sentence known to the researchers was exacted against a criminal found guilty of magic in Egypt 1,500 years , before Christ. In England there is no record of capital punishment earlier than 450 B.C., when it was the custom to throw the condemned into a quagmire. The old Mosaic law provided for hanging and beheading; burning alive and throwing the criminal from a rock were also sanctioned. To keep the conquered in Palestine under control, the Jews poured molten lead on them, starved them in dungeons, and tore them to death with red-hot pincers. The ancient law of Moses provided for death by stoning for many offenses. A crowd formed around the condemned, each person holding a heavy stone. Through the ranks came one dressed in white, who was the first to accuse the condemned; he cast the first stone. Then the others oast their stones, and bu ried the victim under them. In the days of the Roman Republic, vestal virgin’s who violated their vows of chastity were buried alive. The Romans also executed those who published libels and insulting songs, stole crops, or made disturbances in the city at night. They were especially angered by the parricide, whom they threw into the water in a sack that also contained a dog, a cock, a viper, and an ape. The Romans probably invented crucifixion. First they scourged the victim with a whip that had small pieces of bone imbedded in it. He was forced to bear the transverse beam of his cross to the place of his execution. The cross on the ground, “he was then nailed through the hands and the insteps as being the most sensitive parts of the extremities, or else tied by cords . . . The cross was then fixed in a previously prepared socket driven into the ground, and the sufferer sometimes remained alive for two or three days . . . Myrrh and vinegar were handed to the crucified on a pole to allay their sufferings, and their limbs were broken to hasten their death.” The Romans taught the Palestinians. ABOUT THE TENTH CENTURY rl Saxon and Danish kings were maintaining order by hanging, beheading, burning, drowning, stoning, and casting from rocks. For two centuries after William the Conquerer, a theft of more than one shilling was punishable by death. With the approach of the Middle Ages, tortures become commonplace and various. Most barons owned their own drowning pitg and gallows. Burning was the THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page ‘7 Feb. 18, 1901 punishment in England for high treason for women; male traitors were hanged, drawn, and quartered. In 1283 the last native Prince of Wales was hanged, “his limbs burnt because he has profaned by assassination the solemnity of Christ’s passion,” and his quarters “dispersed through the country.” The Church could save betteroff victims, but as Laurence says”naturally did not extend its protection to heretics, who were burnt alive.” In 1222 a deacon was burned at Oxford for becoming a Jew so that he could marry a Jewess. Many who slept with Jewesses were sentenced to death for committing “an unnatural offense:” The leading brains of the Mid
