Hanged
Spring continues, confusingly. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. We�re about to kill McVeigh�then we�re not about to. He might not appeal but may.
Grim death, what a holiday when you�re expected. They were ready for you in Oklahoma City this time, they were panting and feverish. You were approaching�now there you go, spinning away like a vampire from garlic; grim death, legal error defeats you.
Spring continues, alarmingly fair. Drought-glazed, the lilacs broiled on the branch.
Grim death, what a coincidence. Waco, Texas, 1916: A crowd of men, women, and children are reportedly seen cheering �the mutilation and burning alive of a Negro already convicted and sentenced to death for murder, and carrying away collops of his flesh as souvenirs.�
Quotation from Samuel Eliot Morrison, The Oxford History of the American People, 1965.
