The decapitated woman who was the last person in Arizona to be executed by hanging


Eva Dugan gained notoriety by being the only woman executed and the last person in Arizona to be executed by hanging. She was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death for the murder of an elderly chicken rancher, Andrew J. Mathis, and was ordered to be hung for the killing. Eva claimed innocence until her time ran out but accepted her fate nonetheless. She seemed composed as she mounted the steps towards the gallows, telling the guards, "Don't hold my arms so tight, the people will think I'm afraid." She swayed slightly as the noose was placed around her neck and tightened. As the trapdoor below her feet gave way, her head was decapitated from her body. It rolled to a corner of the platform by spectators' feet. The crowd that gathered gasped. The gas chamber replaced the gallows after that incident.

Here is the story in detail

Mrs. Eva Dugan, the first woman to be legally executed in Arizona, paid with her life on the gallows shortly before dawn today for the slaying in 1927 of A. P. Mathis, Tucson rancher. The trap was sprung at 5:02 a. m. As the trap clanged and she dropped more than six feet, the noose tightened, severing her head, and the body catapulted to the floor. Dr. L. A. Love, prison physician, pronounced her dead immediately.

Love, prison physician, pronounced her dead immediately. attempting to sell a cow and some chickens on the ranch, left in a coupe owned by Mathis, in company with “Jack.” It is believed that this young man, whose last name has never been learned, was employed by Mrs. Dugan to drive the car. Mrs. Dugan and the boy first went to Amarillo, Tex. where she sold the coupe for $600, signing the papers “Eva Mathis.” The boy signed “A. J. Mathis.” There Mrs. Dugan bought tickets to Kansas City. After discovery of the body of Mathis on December 11, 1927 by J.F. Nash, an Oklahoma machinist, who had selected the precise spot where the body was buried to drive a tent stake, Mrs. Dugan was arrested at White Plains, N. Y., returned to Tucson and convicted of first degree murder. She was originally sentenced to be hanged June 1, 1928, but obtained a stay of execution upon appeal to the state supreme court Dec. 1929. The supreme court affirmed the judgment of conviction and resentenced her to be hanged Feb. 21, 1920, exactly two years from the date her trial began. Last month an application was made to the board of pardons and paroles for commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment. Following a hearing, by a vote of two to one, the board declined to recommend commutation. After a jury found Mrs. Dugan sane, the board was asked for a reprieve, which was refused.

German agencies on a recent case with Gisele Pelicot, revealed a Telegram group with up to 70,000 members sharing methods of sexual assault. 70,000 members

German agencies on a recent case with Gisele Pelicot, revealed a Telegram group with up to 70,000 members sharing methods of sexual assault. 70,000 members. And these are just the people who know about it and are open to join it. If anyone is curious about the dark web but is too afraid to go there, Telegram is a good alternative. I was chatting with people in a Telegram group when some psychopath shared a link to another Telegram group. I clicked the link out of curiosity, and there was an endless feed of child porn videos shared by over 10,000 people. I was never exposed to child porn before and I almost vomited because of what I saw. The world is a dark and disgusting place when you look beneath the surface. Edit: I live in a 3rd world country. The police here can't do anything if it's something outside our country. Edit 2: Thank you everyone for letting me know that I can contact organizations outside my country regarding cases like these. I'll do my research and b...

did mystique really have to walk home naked after she lost her powers in last stand

So did mystique really have to walk home naked after she lost her powers in last stand? Her feelings would be really really hurt at the moment and she would feel very vulnerable as a human looking like one but as he literally left her there I don’t think she would take too long into weaponizing this shame into looking like an innocent victim “could you please take me to civilization, oh a sweater? Thank you you are a kind soul 😇 “ Unless the feds arrived really, really fast she would be out of that place in 20 minutes tops and only if not much cars are passing by. Though she might contact the feds herself if there is some deals to be won. All the dirt and location of magneto resources in exchange of a blank slate and a promise of not doing any activities that could be considered criminal She would be charged. They know her identity despite her ability to shapeshifter including her fingerprints. She will not be off the hook like the last person said. They know who she is and power...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
