Philosophy Garries Slayer to Gallows With Smile
Caspar Pastoni was hanged for the murder of a woman and her daughter after a ransom of justice failed. He faced the gallows with a stoic, almost philosophical calm as his attorneys’ appeals to Governor Small were denied. The crime occurred after a dispute tied to a war veteran and a tragic frenzy. A separate report notes a three year old boy killed in his mother’s kitchen in Newark amid a chaotic scene with accidental gunfire.
