Innocent Man Hanged?
THE criminal who is tried in "Hang 1 ed by the Neck," by Mr. Frank G. Lnylon. was hanged, bin did he commit flie crime.' Indeed, ill the end someone in a position to know bluntly asserts thill it is a case of " murder by jury.'' Innocent people have been found guilty by juries, but in the case of murder it is the most terrible of mistakes. The publisher's note asserts: "We arc left with more than a lingering suspicion that perhaps an innocent man lias been hanged, . . .
Few people after they have read i! wilf be aide to retain their selfsatisfied pride in our judicial system.''
