New Nighttime Hanging Uses Automatic Gallows
Jack Cronin was hanged at 1 a m in Hartrom jail for the 1893 murder in Skinner's yard. The execution used a modified automatic gallows designed to operate from a lever by the sheriff, a departure from standard practice. The device, tested on a dummy, relies on water to raise a weight and stop the prisoner’s heart, then the lever release completes the act. Cronin died instantly, and the method sparked debate over machinery replacing the prisoner’s role.
