They would secure him hamd and foot. carry him before a mock tribunal, and there try him for some high crime with which they leharged him. He would be convicted. }of course. and sentenced to be led te + the block and decapitated. A student student named William Patterson came along in time and was put through the court and sentenced in the usual solemn and impressive man- ner. He was blindfolded and led to block and his neck placed in position. The executioneer swung his axe and buried it in the block of wood on which the victim's head rested. allow- ing it, to be sure. to go nowhere near Patterson's head.
