Execution of Captain Wirtz, the keeper of Andersonville Prison, (adjusting the noose)
From "War Memories" catalog: This view shows the scene on the scaffold at the moment the noose is being adjusted around his neck. These three views, 7752, 7753, 7755 comprise a scene of much historic interest. They were made by having three separate cameras set to photograph the scaffold. When the warrant was being read one camera was used and that view was taken; while the rope was being placed around his neck another camera was used and that scene was taken; then when the drop was sprung the third camera was used, and so the entire scene of such tragic interest was photographed clear and distinct.
