He stated to the Commission: “I have operated on behalf of the state, what I am convinced was the most humane and the most dignified of meting out death to a delinquent – however justified or unjustified the allotment of death may be – and on behalf of humanity I trained other nations to adopt the British system of execution. It is fact which is of no source of pride to me at all – it is simply history – that I carried out the executions of more judicial sentences of death than any executioner in any British record or archive.”This autobiography now offers a documentary record of his experience, which in retrospect he summed up as follows: “I do not now believe that any of the hundreds of executions I carried out has in any way acted as a deterrent against further murder.
