[GSCole]

In the U. of M. MOA database, an instance of "Chinese water torture" at:

In an article in the Overland Monthly and Out West magazine, vol. 20,
iss. 115, p. 82 (col. 1), July 1892.

Not sure of the context, but "is to taste the water-torture itself" is
mentioned at:

which is on p. 357, col. 3, of The Clymenestra, by Albert Webster, Jr.,
in  Appleton's Journal: a magazine of general literature, vol. 9, iss.
208, March 15, 1873.

I have not followed the 'water torture' discussion closely.  Please
excuse any of the above which is repetitious to the list.
