...quarter of a century Sir Horace Edmund Avory has been "The Hanging Judge" to terrified British criminals who also called him "Acid Drop." Scrawny-necked, thin-lipped, slit-eyed and fearsome on his high bench in Old Bailey, Sir Horace sent to the gallows a yearly grist of sordid British murderers and that misguided Irish patriot Sir Roger Casement. The Acid Drop also corroded Clarence Hatry, greatest of British swindlers, whose gigantic frauds unsettled confidence in The City and hastened Depression (TIME, Oct. 21, 1929).

It is true that his position is difficult, that he is forced into a stand which may easily lead to a war, and to a fatal war from the angle that Germany cannot afford war and could not, in all probability, find outside support...
