Dead Ends (27 page)

Gregory, his lawyer, had been with him in his cell until fifteen minutes before the execution. Mantha died “a very brave man,” the defence lawyer said.

The last two executions in Canada took place in December 1962. Beginning in 1963, the law remained in place but governments commuted all death sentences until 1976, when capital punishment was abolished.

McKenzie believed Gregory never fully recovered from the experience of unsuccessfully defending Mantha and witnessing the hanging. Gregory was appointed a British Columbia Supreme Court justice in 1964. He took his own life in 1973.
