Executioner
An executioner, also known as a hangman or headsman, is an official who effects a sentence of capital punishment on a condemned person. Scope and job The executioner was usually presented with a warrant authorizing or ordering him to ''execute'' the sentence. The warrant protects the executioner from the charge of murder. Common terms for executioners derived from forms of capital punishment—though they often also performed other physical punishments—include hangman (hanging) and headsman ( beheading). In the military, the role of executioner was performed by a soldier, such as the ''provost''. A common stereotype of an executioner is a hooded medieval or absolutist executioner. Symbolic or real, executioners were rarely hooded, and not robed in all black; hoods were only used if an executioner's identity and anonymity were to be preserved from the public. As Hilary Mantel noted in her 2018 Reith Lectures, "Why would an executioner wear a mask? Everybody knew who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Peter Adler Alberti
Peter Adler Alberti (10 June 1851 – 14 June 1932) was a Danish politician and swindler, known for the Alberti scandal of 1908. Career Alberti was a solicitor, the son of a liberal politician who had been a pioneer of the Danish savings bank system. The family background led to his own career as the leader of '' Den sjællandske Bondestands Sparekasse'' from 1890 but very early he was also involved in speculations and doubtful economic transactions partly due to his ludomania. Later on, it has become clear that he had been guilty of severe embezzlement from a very early stage. Perhaps in order to neutralise further attacks, he entered politics in 1892 representing the right wing of the liberal movement. However, he joined the united Venstre Reform Party in 1895, making himself the right hand of J. C. Christensen. From 1901 to 1908, Alberti was the first Venstre justice minister.
