I think people would gossip even if it is legal, and not everyone passing through morrowind is not going to carry that news around. And someone could mention it in a letter to a friend or family member. It's not as though every Dark Elf is in Morrowind, or Every imperial is in Cyrodiil, or every Breton is in High Rock etc.

Hmm, didn't take gossiping into consideration, I guess it is inevitable that the news of executions would eventually reach the Empire. :arghfist
