Nata Mullick, a 78-year-old hangman, speaks to the media inside his home in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta June 23, 2004. Mullick has hung 24 people in his career and is one of a handful of survivors from the clan of hangmen in India who pass their their skills down from generation to generation. Mallick may hang Dhanonjoy Chatterjee on Friday. Chatterjee is charged with the rape and killing of a 14-year-old girl in December 1989. The communist-ruled West Bengal government may carry out the state's first hanging in decades. REUTERS/Sucheta Das SD/TW
