Roscoe Jackson

So that was done in order to do that.

And so then the other case is in 1937, Roscoe Jackson, who was a white man, was publicly hanged in Galena, Missouri for the robbery and murder of a traveling salesman named Pearl Bozarth.

I loved it that the guy was named Pearl.

But it was also one of those stories that if you look it up on Wikipedia, which I did.

And then that led me to another newspaper article.

Pearl Bozarth was like this hair tonic salesman guy who was like driving around the Midwest and Upper South.

And he just picked up Roscoe Jackson as a hitchhiker.

And Jackson robbed him and killed him and stole his car.

Well, it's a satanic ritual, isn't it, on Saturnalia.

It would be the first public execution since 1937 when convicted murderer Roscoe Jackson was hanged in Missouri.

Hassan said he launched the terror attack at Fort Hood because he was angry American troops were deployed to Afghanistan and wanted to protect Islamic and Taliban leaders.

So it's a war that these guys started that he reacted to that they're now hanging him for.

That, that was on one part of Wikipedia.

Elsewhere on Wikipedia, it says that a man named Roscoe Jackson was the last one to die.

Okay, but before we move on from Rainey Bethea-

Mm-hmm
