Kwang Tung, a Chinese desperado, who confessed to sixty murders, was crucified in the province of Cheefu a few days ago. It was decided that decapitation was too lenient a punishment and he was crucified. He was nailed by his hands to a wooden cross and placed in a public place as a warning to malefactors. He lingered for three days before he succumbed to his terrible suffering.
