If ho kills ten or n dozen and the peoplo finally decide that he ought to be put out of the way he Is hanged. But ho is not hanged as they hang men In this, country. He Is hanged by the feet nnd u heavy weight Is tied to his head. Then he Is allowed to die. If the ac cused prisoner Is a woman her hair is shorn from her her.il, provided the of fense Is a trivial one. If it Is a serious one sho may bo turned Into n room filled with nind cats and be scratched to death. "Persian jails aro dailc cellars and contain no furniture whatever. Tho govt niiient doesn't feed prisoners, this being left to friends of tho accused. If he happens to have no frieuds ho will starve to death. Oftentimes when food Is bt ought by friends the keepers of tho prison and the other otiiclnls ap propriate It, so the prisoners have to go hungry."
