RE: Gallows
Was going through all of my newspaper reports of the trial and execution pursuant to working on my other book when I found a statement that the gallows was only "20 feet" from the door that the prisoners came out of! -

Like Laurie had said, they could have stumbled out of the door and hit the darn thing! Only 20 feet....I keep thinking of that "long mile" that Redford filmed in The Conspirator! So much for historic license and dramatic effect!
