Oct.11 1877 Bill Longley, is hung.....twice

==============================================

Thereby making the Fabianski twins very happy girls.

[Piquaboy]

Being hung once has been a pain at times for me.

[Syco]

"Sheriff! They said you wuz hung!"

"They was right!"

[Chickensoup]

I sincerely hope he was hanged, not hung.

[dighton]

As the poets have mournfully sung,
Death takes the innocent young,
The rolling-in-money,
The screamingly funny,
And those who are very well hung.

-- W.H. Auden.

[GATOR NAVY]

One bullet hit Longley in the face and broke a tooth, while another frayed the rope from which he was hanging. The rope weakened with the weight of Longley's body and broke saving his life.

A bad man with amazingly good luck.

[The Great RJ]

The first legal hanging in Minnehaha County, South Dakota took three attempts. The rope broke on the first attempt, on the second attempt the trapdoor failed to open and only on the third attempt was the execution successful. It also turned out the victim, who was accused of bludgeoning his wife to death, was innocent. His daughter later confessed to commiting the crime.

William Preston Longley went by several names during his 27 years as one of the most vicious murderers and racists of the American West.

Who wrote this steaming pile? Can a man be able to read one single solitary damned thing without all the Leftist propaganda sloganeering thrown in?

[wildbill]

As you can see from my alias, I'm his namesake, so nobody better be flaming wildbill.

[Old Professer]

The way I count it, he was hanged three times; twice in 1878, not 1877.
