as being the moet most horrible and torturous I 1 might mention that these method methods i administering or iannici ing punishment were practiced until the avei cesi tury the person that wo was accused with ith a crime was kept prisoner and aa a tortured from day to dav day until tie be confessed to the crime or died item from the wounds that had been meted out to him ot of course after the person had made a of hia his crime it was no crift at all 11 to cori condemn derrin M him to death and so on the next big i day at the market place his head would be chopped off it was kind of a one sided affair on the prisoners part it if he confessed he loist his head and it if he kept silent he was tortured to death ih ahe kings in those days had rather aun a tunny sense of humor dint dont you think 7 the spent h donkey dorkey the name given e n to one ofle Ins instrument nt of torture was built something thing like the following A p ece ot of 3 2 inch by 23 22 inch plank 6 feet long was stood upon its end und and supported in thu this up right position by a base attached to the floor the i end of this plank was cut to a sharp angled snap shap this sharp rape was covered with sheet iron so to thit it might have more of a cutting quality the subject who was to be tortured was set astride this sharp edge and on each toot was fastened a abight eight of about SO 50 pounds each one
