the veil collapsed； all was gone； and his place was empty。
The Murderer； being asked by the Judge； according to usage； whether
he had anything to say before sentence of Death should be passed
upon him； indistinctly muttered something which was described in the
leading newspapers of the following day as 〃a few rambling；
incoherent； and half…audible words； in which he was understood to
complain that he had not had a fair trial； because the Foreman of
the Jury was prepossessed against him。〃 The remarkable declaration
that he really made was this： 〃MY LORD； I KNEW I WAS A DOOMED MAN；
WHEN THE FOREMAN OF MY JURY CAME INTO THE BOX。 MY LORD； I KNEW HE
WOULD NEVER LET ME OFF； BECAUSE； BEFORE I WAS TAKEN； HE SOMEHOW GOT
TO MY BEDSIDE IN THE NIGHT； WOKE ME； AND PUT A ROPE ROUND MY NECK。〃
