No.32 斬首:我らの名人は、その瞬間を捉えた。阿片のせいで半分朦朧としている罪人は、刑場まで運び入れられてきた檻、あるいは籠からはすでに出されている。彼の弁髪は一人の男に固くつかまれ頭上に引っ張られており、それを強く引っ張ることで、首は刃に対して伸びた状態に保たれているのである。死刑執行人は通常、任務をきわめて巧みに遂行するため、広刃の短剣か短刀の第二撃が必要とされることは滅多とない。判事は証人を委任して処刑執行を報告し、死亡証明書の置かれた机の後ろに坐っている。No.32 DECAPITATION. Our artist has seized the moment when the culprit, half stupefied with opium, having been shot out of the cage or basket in which he has reaches the ground, has his queue firmly grasped and pulled over his head by a man who will, by tightening his hold, keep the neck steadily stretched for the knife. The executioner usually performs his duty very dexterously, a second blow from the short broad sword or knife being hardly ever reqired. The magistrate deputed to witness and report the execution, sits behind a desk upon which is laid the death warrant. |
