According to a timeline on the HistoryNet, in 1630, John Billington, one of the original Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower, became the first person in the American colonies hanged for murder. TheHistoryNet: Today In History: September 30 http://www.thehistorynet.com/today/0930.htm.990908160937_old You might check your library for a book called, Murder in America, by Roger Lane. It is a history of murder in America going back to colonial times.

What was the relationship between hang till death and quaid-e-azam practicing as a lawyer?

Quaid-e-Azam was an amazing lawyer. He never lost any of his cases. He was hired to defend a young man but the man was sentenced "To be hanged" anyways. On the day of the hanging, after they'd tied the rope around his neck, Quaid-e-Azam asked them to release him as the sentence stated that he should be hanged, and he had been hanged. After that, the courts never sentenced anyone "To be hanged" but "To be hanged till death" so that the same thing never occurred again. :P
