They took tin-type photos of Jesse James and other notorious bank robbers in their coffins to discourage other would-be bank robbers.

There was also a time that they performed capital punishment in the town square with families with children in attendance.

Nothing is new under the sun....and people have always been interested in death as that is what lies ahead for us all.
