“There was this boy I sent to the gas chamber at Huntsville here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killed a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill ⟳ somebody for about as long as he could remember ⟳. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again.”
