OXFORD PUBLIC: LEDGER, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 24, 1911. 8 Women Who Were Hanged in North Carolina. The Winston. Republican asserted that no womam was ever hanged in North Carolina. The Landmark cor rected the statement by calling at tention to the fact that a white wo man was hanged in Burke county many years ago for the murder of her husband. Her name if memory serves us was "Frankie or Prances, Silvers." The papers have published in recent years a lot of barbarous staff she wrote (called poetry) while she was in jail awaiting execution. In mentioning the; Burk case the ' Observer that a negro woman was hanged in Rockingham county as late as 1882, and Mr. G. H. A- Lilly mentions the hanging of a negro wo man in Montgomery county a short time before the beginning of the civil war. In fact in the old days, when the people '"believed in hell, hanging and calomel" womeru who committed capital offenses not infre qunetJy paid the penalty the same as men. But later there came a feeling that to put a woman to death was barbarous, and following this it became a custom to excuse men so .often that now it is al most impossible to inflict the death! penalty on anybody save a negro, or a mighty ordinary white man.
