  If. the full details of executions could be
vividly told; if men and women could visu-
alize the horror coming from the fear and
dread of this shameful and cruel death; if
people could feel the agony of the days of
waiting; if they could grasp every detail-
all normal human  beings would be so
shocked to think of their part in the hor-
rible deed as to get rid of the barbarism
that inspires the desire to have some un-
fortunate killed by the state.
