Carl Panzram was hanged on September 5, 1930. When they put the noose around his neck, he allegedly spat in his executioner’s face and declared, “I wish all mankind had one neck so I could choke it!”
When asked by the executioner if he had any last words, Panzram barked, “Yes, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill ten men while you’re fooling around!”
