HANGED—BUT NOT DEAD
MAN LIVES TO COMMIT ANOTHER MURDER WEIRD GALLOWS STORIES Reed. 1.5 p.m. LONDON, Wednesday. A weird story of a man who underwent capital punishment and committed a murder afterward formed the part of Sir Simon Vonderaa’s evidence before the Capital Punishment Committee. The man was hanged, but not in a direct way. When the executioner came to take him off, he found he had lost his senses, but was alive. He gave him money to escape. The man became a hospital servant, and three years later he killed a hospital patient. Sir Simon recited another case of a man who committed a murder after witnessing an execution two days before.
