Pinched with hot irons

On the 3d instant was executed, pursuant to her sentence, Louiza de Jesus, for the murder of thirty-three infants, that were at different times, committed to her care by the directors of the foundling-hospital at Combra, for which (as appears by the sentence published) she had no other inducement but 600 reas in money, a covado of baiz, and a cradle, that she received with each of them. She was but twenty-two, years of age when executed. Going to execution she was pinched with hot irons, and at the gallows, her hands were struck off; she was then strangled, and her body burnt.
