To the world in general, and particularly on that bit of it known as the death warrant, he was Alfred Spangler.Īnd he took a more positive approach to the situation and had concentrated his mind on the prospect of not being hanged in the morning, and, most particularly, on the prospect of removing all the crumbling mortar from around a stone in his cell wall with a spoon.
