410, 7. ana%jing¢e, a kind of torture practised among the Pawnees, when they 
took captives that they wished to sacrifice to the deity. Two upright posts were 
_ planted in the ground, about three feet apart. Transverse poles were fastened to 
these at the top and bottom; but the lower one was about a foot or two above the 
ground, so as to allow room for a fire to be kindled under it. The captive was fastened 
within this frame, in a standing attitude, but with his hands and legs stretched out. 
The fire was made under him, and he was roasted to death.
