Berry, who was for a number of years, the "hangman" of England,, hanged during that time, 197 criminals and assisted at the ex- ecution of nearly 500. He declares that his experience brought home to him in an unmistakable manner that hanging has failed to prevent crime punishable by death, and he is convinc- ed from personal inquiries both among criminals and those in whose charge such were that ''the infliction of a less severe punishment—imprisonment un- der more suitable conditions than ob- tain—would tend greatly to diminish such crimes," Talking of the chief cause of murder, Berry declared that it was drink that fed the gallows. Among the nearly 500 whom he had hanged or helped to hang there had not been one teetotaler.
