In Austria criminals are put to death by strangling or shooting, according to the sen- tence of the court. Tho gibbet is used at executions of the former kind, and I 'ml. Steineck, as he is called, the most noted of Austrian executioners, has been detected in practices very much resembling cruelty. A few years ago he used to put an iron gag in the mouths of prisoners to prevent them from utterance. The practice had for a long tun' passed unobserved until at length il was discovered by the local press. The "Professor" excused himself on the ground of necessity ; but he did not do it again. The shooting of criminals would have , '[together substituted for strangling, but for the objections oil the part of the sol- diersto b<: detailed for any such purpose.
