The Town of Bedlam: Scene 68
[Yanlin] Thank you for coming. The Queen is holding court. Wait in the back and she'll be with you shortly.
[Chunshan] Yesterday we spoke with your accuser. He told this court that you ran out of his store carrying a 50 pound bag of rice without paying for it. He brought two witnesses who both claimed they saw you do it. He showed us video footage of your crime. How do you plead?
[Hung] I beg the Queen for mercy.
[Queen Ming] Mercy you ask for? Have I not already done so twice before? The first time I gave you a warning by taking one of your hands. Last time I took your other hand for stealing also. I have shown you mercy but you continuously throw it right back at me. My goodness has it's limits, and we must set an example for everyone to follow.
[Fang] *slice* I love how this sword slices through flesh like butter.
[Heng] My Queen, Tex has arrived.
[Tex] That feller was as yellow as mustard but without the bite.
[Queen Ming] Just the person I wanted to see. Are you hungry? Let's go next door and enjoy our Chinese New Year's feast. I prefer to talk business while eating.
Registan (a sandy place): this public square was the centre of Samarkand and the site of a large market. It came to be used as the place where royal proclamations were made, public executions held, and trade & commerce conducted. In the 15th and 17th centuries, madrasas were built on three sides of the square. This design, madrasas facing each other across a square or street, is called a kosh, a "double, pair", as the building of madrasas are opposite each other on the sides of the street or square.

DDB UK present their latest print campaign for financial spread betting company, IG Index.
The executions take the form of three ‘event maps’ - graphical representations of the major chains of cause and effect that dominates the financial news today, including:
1)The Government’s spending cuts – a detailed illustration also showcases the financial spread betting opportunities along this chain which you can take advantage of with IG Index.
2)The Price of Gold – in these turbulent times, investors flee to the safe haven of gold – this map shows the political and industrial impacts on gold prices
3)The BP Oil spill and subsequent price of oil – following the aftermath of the spill, there we a huge amount of knock-on effects to company shares and the oil price in general.
For those experienced in financial spread betting, it’s an engrossingly intricate summary of all the twists and turns of the financial markets. For those less experienced, it provides an intriguing, educational tool which builds awareness of the category and suggests the ways in which they might get involved.
The ad follows the successful ‘David Cameron’ execution that DBB UK created after the May election, which asked “If you’re thinking … ‘Which way will Cameron send sterling?’ contact us.”
The Event Mapping campaign will launch across the London Underground network on Monday 28th March. Cross-track 48$ posters will appear at specific stations throughout the heart of the city commute. It will also appear in broadsheet media, The Times and The Telegraph and in financial press including City AM.
The ad will run in press until the end of the year and is the first in a series of event mapping executions to promote IG Index.
In the recent 2010 ‘Britain’s Most Admired Companies Awards’ run by Management Today, IG Group were ranked no.1 for ‘Quality of Marketing’.

Visit to Museum of London Docklands to see the 'Executions' exhibition. The first publicly recorded executions at Tyburn was in 1196; the last public execution in 1868. By the end of the 18th century over 200 crimes were punishable by death.
This was in Block 11 of Auschwitz 1. This wall was where prisoners were stripped naked and forced to stand until they were shot to death. While the brick wall is original, the execution wall was taken down and replaced with a replica.
On the evening of July 24, 1856, the Vigilance Committee had another case on their hands which called for immediate action.
Joseph Hetherington, a well-known desperate character with a previous record, picked a quarrel with Dr. Randal in the lobby of the St. Nicholas Hotel. They both drew their revolvers and shot; after the second report the doctor dropped and Hetherington, stooping, shot again, striking the prostrate form in the head, rendering the victim almost unconscious. He died the next morning.
The shooting was brought about through Randal's inability to repay money borrowed from Hetherington on a mortgage on real estate.
Hetherington, who was captured by the police, had been turned over to the Committee by whom he was tried, the Committee going into session immediately after the shooting, found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to be hanged.Photo of company of Committee of Vigilance sharpshooters
We were again called out on the 29th and were stationed so as to command the situation. This time a gallows was erected on Davis street, between Sacramento and Commercial.
Another man, Philander Brace by name, was also to be hanged at the same time, and at about 5:30 in the afternoon of July 29th they were both conveyed in carriages, strongly guarded, to the execution grounds. Hetherington had previously proclaimed his innocence, claiming that the Doctor had shot first and he had simply shot in self-defense, but his previous record was bad, he having killed a Doctor Baldwin in 1853 and had run a gambling joint on Long Wharf, and eye witnesses claimed that he not only provoked but shot first.
Brace was of a different nature, he was a hardened criminal of a low type. The charge against him being the killing of Captain J. B. West about a year previous, out in the Mission, and of murdering his accomplice. He had also confessed to numerous other crimes.
HANGING OF HETHERINGTON AND BRACE.
Thousands of people were on the house-tops and in windows and on every available spot from which a view of the gallows was to be had. The prisoners mounted the scaffold, being accompanied by three Vigilance Committee officers who acted as executioners and a Rev. Mr. Thomas. After the noose had been adjusted, Hetherington addressed the crowd, claiming to be innocent and ready to meet his Maker. Brace, every once in a while, interrupted him, using terrible and vulgar language. The caps were adjusted, the ropes cut and the two dropped into eternity. They were left hanging 40 minutes, after which the bodies were removed by the Committee to their rooms and afterwards turned over to the Coroner. They were both young men—Hetherington 35, a native of England, had been in California since 1850, while Brace was but 21, a native of Onandaigua County, N. Y.
On the other hand, "Strafford led to Execution," when Laud stretches his lawn-covered arms out of the small high window of his cell to give him a blessing as he passes along the corridor, is perfect; and the splendid scene of Richelieu in his gorgeous barge, preceding the boat containing Cinq-Mars and De Thou carried to execution by their guards, is perhaps the most dramatic semi-historical work ever done. His 1835 "Assassination of the duc de Guise at Blois" is an exacting historical study was well a dramatic insight into human nature. Other important Delaroche works include "The Princes in the Tower" and the "La Jeune Martyr" (Young female Martyr floating dead on the Tiber).
The judges who had upheld Charles's financial exactions in the Courts were arrested and imprisoned, and so was Archbishop Laud, who was beheaded in 1645. But the principal victim was Strafford. He was charged with having tried to 'subvert the fundamental laws and government of England and Ireland, and instead thereof to introduce an in March arbitrary and tyrannical government against law'. 1641 he was brought to Westminster Hall to be tried for high treason. But his accusers were at once faced with a difficult point. Strafford may have tried to 'subvert the laws'; but treason meant treason to the king, and had Strafford been a traitor to Charles? It was difficult to prove that he had, and as the trial proceeded it became clear that the verdict would be Not Guilty. But the Puritan majority in the House was determined that Strafford should die. Parliament therefore passed a special Bill of Attainder, condemning the minister to death without trial.
The Lords passed the Bill of Attainder, and it remained for the king to give or to withhold his consent. Some may think that it was Charles's duty to risk his life to defend Strafford. But the mob raged round Whitehall, howling for blood. Charles feared for the safety of the queen and his children, and he gave way. ' If my own person only were in danger', he told the Council, with tears in his eyes, 'I would gladly venture it to save Lord Strafford's life.' Three days later the earl was led to his execution in May 1641 in the presence of a crowd of 200000 people who had come to witness the end of 'Black Tom Tyrant'. No man ever died more bravely. 'I thank my God', he said, as he prepared to die, 'I am not afraid of death, but do as cheerfully put off my doublet at this time as ever I did when I went to bed.' The executioner offered to cover his eyes with a handkerchief. 'Thou shall not bind my eyes.' said Strafford, 'for I will see it done.' And so he placed his head upon the block.

medievalpoc: Unknown Japanese Artist Christian Martyrs of Nagasaki Japan (1622) unknown media, unknown dimensions Chiesa del Gesù (Rome, Italy) This incredible painting depicts the execution of Christian converts and missionaries after the Tokagawa shogunate banned Catholicism in Japan in the mid-1600s. Visible in the enormous crowd of spectators are of course many Japanese people, as well as Black and White Europeans. There are two main groups of Christians being executed; the largest of whom are being burned at the stake toward the center of the painting, and another group being beheaded “below” them.
