Two young boys were playing under the Puente Nuevo of Ronda, from the top of which the Christian armies used to throw prisoners into the river of Tajo, flowing hundreds of feet below.
On December 13, 1861, the first execution of a deserter in the Army of the Potomac was carried out in a field just outside Alexandria near the Fairfax Seminary, now known as the Virginia Theological Seminary.
The drumhead court-martial and execution of Private William H. Johnson, of the First New York Cavalry ("Lincoln Cavalry"), received widespread press coverage and served as a stern warning to the potential, though relatively rare, fate that awaited deserters.
While desertion plagued both armies throughout the war, the actual number of executions for this crime were relatively low. The total number of such executions on both sides during the war is estimated at about 500. President Lincoln, knowing that the public would not tolerate large numbers of executions, showed leniency in pardoning many condemned deserters. Only 147 Union deserters are known to have been executed during the war.
The first in the Army of the Potomac was Pvt. William H. Johnson. William H. Johnson enlisted as a private in Company D. of the New York First Cavalry in New York City on August 25, 1861 at the age of 23. Although a native of New Orleans, Johnson had been living for a number of years in New York where he was employed as a clerk when war broke out. Once the regiment reached Washington, Johnson displayed an aversion to military obedience and was absent from camp several times without a pass. A regimental historian recalled in 1902 that Johnson "was a peculiar man whose actions at different times had proved him unreliable."
On the evening of December 4, 1861, Pvt. Johnson was on picket duty near Benton's Tavern, located on the south side of the intersection of the Little River and Columbia turnpikes, approximately seven miles west of Alexandria. After dinner, Johnson mounted his horse and started down Braddock Road towards Centreville, ostensibly to water his horse, but with the real intention of making it to the rebel lines. After riding several miles, he encountered a group of horsemen whom he presumed to be rebels. He identified himself to them as a Union deserter and offered to provide them the locations of his regiment's pickets. Unfortunately for Johnson, he had actually ran into a returning reconnaissance patrol from the 1st New Jersey Cavalry. A Colonel Taylor promptly placed Johnson under arrest and delivered him to the Provost Marshal.
A general court martial was convened at the camp of Franklin's Division, located near Fairfax Seminary. In his defense, Johnson claimed that he had "not the slightest intention of deserting up to a few minutes before I started in the direction of the enemy's lines." He added that his desertion was motivated by a desire to visit his mother in New Orleans, spend a few weeks in the South and then return to his regiment, "perhaps with some valuable information." The Court was not buying this and believed Johnson had long contemplated desertion. Johnson was found guilty of desertion and sentenced to be shot by a firing squad.
Major-General George B. McClellan approved the sentence on December 11th, noting in his special orders that "for simple desertion, the penalty is death; for desertion coupled with such treachery, there can be no mercy." The published order was read to troops throughout the Army of the Potomac in order to make a strong and lasting impression.
Franklin's entire division, numbering approximately 10,000 men, was ordered to watch the execution, which was held on a wide plain just north of the Fairfax Seminary on the afternoon of December 13th. Lieutenant Colonel Robert McAllister of the First New Jersey volunteers wrote home to his wife describing his mixed emotions regarding witnessing the execution:
"I feel sad this evening from the fact that an order has come down for us, and the whole Division ... to turn out tomorrow afternoon to witness the execution of a poor soldier. He has been condemned to be shot ... no doubt the sentence is all proper and right. But I do not wish to be a witness at his execution.... I feel for him, yes, and pray for him... Gladly would I be far away from these sad and solemn scenes which we are ordered to witness."
Johnson's request to make a final statement was granted and in a low voice, he stated, " "Boys,—I ask forgiveness from Almighty God and from my fellow-men for what I have done. I did not know what I was doing. May God forgive me, and may the Almighty keep all of you from all such sin!"
The eight-man firing squad "fired when Johnson fell on his coffin, but life not being extinct, the other four in reserve fired with the required effect," according to a newspaper account of the execution.
This backed up a slide about arbitrary code execution--which is the web security version of being Force-lightninged by Ewoks.

This was a disturbing death for me, and you don't want to know how it actually died.
The art community in Second Life is a varied one. Fine art, outsider art, underground art, performance art and music are all mixed in with the technical aspects of programming and scripting.
Second Life is one of the first places to combine right and left brain thinkers into one fantastic execution of art and builds in a virtual reality.
The sophistication of the artist is apparent at several places on the SL grid. There are many places that rival my favorites, but these are my personal choices based on my reaction or how long it stayed with me.
The Apollo sim will always be my very favorite place, but here are two that just captured my head and heart. La Reve and pteron are included on my "to die for" list and of course, The A List!
Both are fantastic. Both are fabulously done with a flair that most of us who build, will never achieve. I also included a few stand-outs from Esperance, Nebulous's ArtHole installation, and also, the conceptual Muzik Haus.
Muzik Haus is included, not because of the build itself. That part is simple, but the concept itself is one that stays with me. Mr Widget is the dj and his party making mash-ups create a total ambiance that drives the performance itself.
He is my current favorite dj. He is a mash-up king. And he shares his knowledge with us so generously.
All these places and all these people... standing before you and your art, sometimes overwhelms me to a point of tears. The emotional connection I feel when I explore or listen is the reason why I believe that art equals life. For without art... life is a dreary place and that is no life for anyone.
This warning on the electric chair controls was the scariest part for me. Why do you need this?! Who is going to be operating these that they might not have been properly taught how to use them? If this is so important, why not print the instructions right on the control box itself--it has an enormous amount of white space.
