Why? Hanging was probably quicker and more humane then other methods.
Lethal injection has had its problems.
Electrocution isn't perfect.
Gassing showed to be inefficient
Firing squad wasn't perfect and it lead to psychological problems for the executioners.
Beheading isn't instant death. the last thing you see is probably your body fighting the restraints and then the bottom of a basket.
At least they didn't roll out the Brass Bull, or use a neck screw.
