“Raymond Hamilton,' the Judge decreed, 'you are here now to be sentenced, friendless and without money. Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed?'
'Yes, I have,' answered Raymond. 'People,' he began, 'I hope I have a few friends among you I want you to know I never killed anyone. . . . Crowson was going to be killed no matter what I did. . . . and I want to tell you that whenever Simmons and the others get after you together, you don't get fairness. . . . They're afraid they can't hold me, that I'll breakout and call more attention to them, so they get me 'the chair'. . . . I don't know if there's anything like 'haunts' but if there are, I sure do want to come back and kick this whole bunch out of bed every night.'

“[From Raymond Hamilton's pre-execution interview]
'What about Mary O'Dare?' came another question.
'That girl "ratted"on me to save her own neck," Raymond said bitterly.
'How about Bergie and the two sisters?' another newsman inquired. 'I'm not squealing on any women,' Hamilton mused. 'Women have enough trouble without men heaping more on them.”
