The unhappy event made a most powerful impression upon my youthful mind, but I httle thought of the mental rehearsal of the awful scene that was in store for me. ''Standing out in bold relief from the rest of the picture of my past Ufe that was displayed before my mental vision as the mob completed its preparations for hanging me, was the fright- ful scene enacted on the gallows at the execution of the wife murderer in the jail yard of C — . '...The most pecuHar feature of it all was that it was I, and not that wife murderer whose death throes I saw in my mind's eye. Horrible beyond conception were that awful choking, the agonized struggle for breath, the tumultuous spasms of the diaphragm, the tmtchings of the muscles and the frightful roaring in the ears which I experienced as the murderer slowly died of strangulation.
