Would news articles articles of the hangings in Genesee County be
suitable? I have finally made the assumption that not to many got broken
necks. But actually strangled to death. They gave a minute by minute
account of pulse and movement. Pretty harsh.
The Holland Land Office Museum in Batavia also has its last gibbet ever
used. Would you like a phograph?
