[

Note :
This mode of torture is said to have been first employed in Germany ,
in the fourteenth century .
The criminal was laid on a cart wheel with his legs and arms extended ,
and his limbs in that posture were fractured with an iron bar .
In France ,
where its use was restricted to the most atrocious crimes ,
the criminal was first laid on a frame of wood in the form of a St .
Andrew '
s cross ,
with grooves cut transversely in it above and below the knees and elbows ,
and the executioner struck eight blows with an iron bar ,
so as to break the limbs in those places ,
sometimes finishing by two or three blows on the chest or stomach ,
which usually put an end to the life of the criminal ,
and were hence called coups -
de -
grace --
blows of mercy .
The criminal was then unbound ,
and laid on a small wheel ,
with his face upward ,
and his arms and legs doubled under him ,
there to expire ,
if he had survived the previous treatment . --
Brande .
