WITTICISMS OF 7 CONDEMNED CRIMINALS.
1. GEORGE APPEL. (Electrocuted in 1952.)
As he was being strapped into the electric chair Appel quipped - "Well,
folks, you`ll soon see a baked Appel."
2. GUY CLARK. (Hanged in 1832.)
On the way to the gallows the sheriff asked Clark to speed up the pace.
Clark replied, "Nothing will happen until I get there."
3. JAMES DONALD FRENCH. (Electrocuted in 1966.)
Turning to a newsman on his way to the chair, French helpfully suggested.
"I have a terrific headline for you in the morning - French Fries!"
4. WILLIAM PALMER. (Hanged in 1856.)
As he stepped onto the gallows Palmer looked at the trapdoor and
exclaimed, "Are you sure it`s safe?"
5. SIR WALTER RALEIGH. (Beheaded in 1618.)
Feeling the edge of the axe soon to be used on him, Raleigh said, "Tis
asharp remedy but a sure one for all ills."
6. JAMES W RODGERS. (Shot in 1960.)
Asked if he had a last request, Rodgers stated, "Why yes - a bulletproof
vest."
7. FREDERICK CHARLES WOOD (Electrocuted in 1963.)
Sitting down in the electric chair Woods said, "Gentlemen, you are about
to see the effect of electricity upon Wood."
