      John Lee’s neck: *buffs up really wide* I GOT YOU , BUD !
      Rope: AHHHH *explodes*
      John Lee: *falls down on the floor, and just misses the trapdoor and runs*
      All (except from John Lee) : GET HIM !!!!
      John Lee: You’ll never catch me , you filthy animals !
      Executor: SOMEONE GET THE GUNS OUT ! GREAT JOB, HE’S ALREADY GONE!
      I can imagine this in those 1960s films like the trilogy with A Fistful Of Dollars, a Few Dollars More and the Good ,The bad,And the Ugly . I can imagine it those kind of movies, not cowboys, but that kind of quality and acting style

    In all probability, he probably did murder her IF what the they said he did is true. For example, his behavior before and after the murders is a behavior of a self selfish and uncaring person. He first steals from his employer, then, when she hires him back, instead of showing extreme gratitude, he lashed out at her for wanting to sell her own home. Then, after the murders, he left his wife and two children, full well knowing their fate would be terrible, just so that he could help himself.

      it explains his faith was in god. that never fails a good person. the reason the good die young is because the world can be too harsh to some and our father decides it's better for that young person to be returned to him. when you have absolute faith in our father and you know that he will be there for you and you pray to him, he will deliver you. That's would make difference between him and others, is if he was actually a good hearted person who wouldn't do a thing like that and had absolute faith that his father would be there to stop this. If that was the case, theres no way they could kill him.

      Most women take their children with them, where possible. It is usually the unfit mum who leaves her children behind. She is usually condemned, by outsiders and her own children. Most mums will stay in a terrible marriage for her children. So do many dads. You don't know what happened, so you are assuming as well. The fact that he let his own children go to a workhouse is telling. Nothing says he tried to help his children, but couldn't. Maybe he tried, maybe you are right, maybe I am wrong. Or maybe he just did not care.

    My farther told me of the story of John Lee, his grandfather knew the man that built the gallows that John Lee was to hang from. A childhood friend of John Lee. The way they used to test the trapdoor was with the same weight as the convicted, in a sack, as you know, sack ' s don't have feet, this meant that the weight was distributed in a different manor. The carpenter used this to his advantage, and it allowed him to put a bias on the latch. An equally distributed load (the sack) would allow the latch to open, but a point load (Lee's feet) would apply a presure that would not. John Lee was not saved be "Divine Intervention", but by a talented friend who believed he was innocent. Although, apparently he and the lady of the manor were frequent bed fellows.

    In his autobiography, James Berry who was the executioner, told a subsequent inquest into the event that the reason the trap didnt open was that the whole gallows had recently been moved and that during the assembly the hinges were slightly misaligned. When there was no weight on them they functioned perfectly but when the prisoner stood on the doors the weight caused them to bow slightly and therefore jam. After moving to the US Lee died in 1945 and is buried in Milwaukee.

    Here in Florida there was a man who was due to be hanged in St. Agustine. The doctors in the town wanted to know what it felt like as someone was dying. They stringed him up and pulled the lever, the whole gallows broke and his neck and legs were injured. After a while they fixed the gallows and tried again. They pulled the lever and he hanged, the doctors and professors slowlystepped up and asked him how he felt. He told them for a while, adldlfter an hour at least he finally died.

    i do know another Alcatraz inmate. my great grandfather was Gerard Peabody, a bank robber in the early 1900's who served time in Atlanta, McNeil Island and the Rock. the funny part was that he came from a wealthy family and said he robbed banks for the rush. he inherited part of his parents fotune. he was the son of the man who started the Black Ball Ferry Line in Washington State which was later bought during the depression and renamed the Puget Sound Navigation Company. his last bank robbery was in Carnation, Wa with his original partner Blackie Audette, the getaway driver was a young kid who got scared and fled the bank scene, but they still managed to make off with $170,000. he was in his late 60's or early 70's and it happened in the mid to late 70's. my mom still remembers my grandpa (her dad), opening the door to FBI agents asking him if he knew where Gerard was. he had lived in the basement of my grandpas house several years before but I think he had relocated by that time.

    or the woman that was set for execution by firing squad and survived and was alive at the moraue and then torturingly was tied back up and shot again 15 times is unfair. I think if someone survives then they have gone through the completed process of execution and therefore like this man should be set free. you're telling me that it's more barbaric now days than before ???

      Execution in general is pretty barbaric. (Well, up until lethal injection.)
      You think someone should be set free if they survive though? I don't know, letting a serial killer go doesn't sound wise. Also, I think a person who survives an electric chair zap would probably be brain damaged. It'd be merciful to kill them after that.

I got this from wikipedia " The Home Office ordered an investigation into the failure of the apparatus, and it was discovered that when the gallows was moved from the old infirmary into the coach house, the draw bar was slightly misaligned. As a result the hinges of the trapdoor bound and did not drop cleanly through" I'm talking that over "divine intervention"
