What is The Six Who Were Hanged about?

This book contains a graphic pictorial and narrative description of the history-making execu¬ tion at Amite, La., May 9, 1924, when six men paid the extreme penalty on the gallows for the murder of one. The three scenes of the actual execution contained in this book are among the most unusual photographs in the world.The author has no apology to offer for this book; it is the unfolding of a story whose “light¬ est word should harrow up the soul and freeze the blood”.It is an impartial narrative, but it bitterly arraigns Society as a Monster of Cruelty, and points to the conclusion that Death by Hanging, as judicial punishment, has no part with civiliza¬ tion.Society must be protected from its undesir¬ able units, yes, but Society has passed the Savage State, and in the application of its system of Crim¬ inal Correction, it should not exercise the Spirit of Vengeance.
