There's a noose in the rope, with a knot which, it is ex pected, will make the woman's neck bones crack iperiative mercy of the Law in that knot! The Law mercifully intends that knot to break her neck. Ven geance of the Law against this woman, through constable, ex amining court, grand jury, higher court, judge, trial jury and sheriff, and then this knot which may mercifully break a woman’s neck and prevent horrible torture through strangula tion! MERCY SUBLIME! Humanity’s last blessing, Civiliza st comforting touch as a woman is pushed out into the eternal darkness! Here she comes, this victim of the Vengeance of the Law! See! strong men have to carry, drag her along! She is young and weak. Deal gently with her, ye manly hangers of women! She understands not well the language or the customs and feels only that she is to die in that noose, according to the Law! The Law! Did she know the Law? Did she lave any part in sa the Law? No. Men alone have capacity to understand w. MEN ALONE MAKE THE LAWS FOR THE HANG- ING OF WOMEN. All that Angelina Napolitano understands is that she slew the lazy, avaricious wretch who would have forced her to become the vile plaything of promiscous lust, and now the Law will have her life for it. They assist her up the steps, and now the noose dangles be fore her face. The awful thing takes on the shape of a serpent The strands of the swinging rope appear as scales on a writhing body. That knot is a head, a coil from which a devilish mouth will spring, with fangs to pierce her bosom. She fancies a fetid breath scorching her face. She is staring in stony horror as the Serpentine noose swings nearer and nearer. Her arms and legs are bound. A brief prayer Is spoken “God have mercy on this mother of five children, Man hasn't!"

Now, gentlemen of the Law’s Vengeance, put the noose around this girl's neck. See to it that the knot pinches a bit under her left ear, please. All read: he cry of a baby is heard. Her baby, newly born! Her moans under that black mask cannot reach it. She cannot, with bound arms, reach out for it, yearn for it, clasp it to her bursting heart, as your wives would clasp your babies, gentlemen of the gallows, makers of laws to hang mothers. Spring the trap! On ith Vengeance of the Law! Choke her! Smother her moans! rush her heart! There are four other children of hers hack somewhere in the city—in an institution in which Society is going to play mother for the mother it hangs. Four little innocent, fatherless, motherless children, who are to go through life pointed at, jeered at, scorned, shamed, avoided, SURELY YYENCED TO LIVES OF HELL-FIRE! For God's sake, gentlemen of Ven- geance, spring the trap, lest the cries of the whole brood of orphans ring in your ears and make you ashamed that you are men strangling a mother! She falls! Three feet, four feet--a jerk! The rope holds Come, Society; come, Civilization; come, men, ye sole makers of laws to hang mothers; come, gather closer around and feast yoar Christian souls on this Vengeance of ine Law of Civiliza- tion! See! her knees draw up to her chin, her body twists and @rithes and turns, and turns and writhes again. Hear her teeth grinding. Listen! she’s choking and moaning and trying to scream and-— please stop that baby’s crying, back there! Let’s lift the black cap! See! her eyes are bursting from her head with the pain and fright, her cheeks are trembling and turning gray, her lips are already black. Behold the purple, swollen tongue hanging from her mouth, dripping with froth! SPLENDID AGONY! SPLENDID VENGEANCE OF THE LAW! Ha! the doctors, to cxamine the subject! Science com as aide to the Law.
