Chapter 7 the warden of sing sing prison
Back in sing sing prison Walter and his fiancée are both walking down the corridor and are having a conversation (and at the moment she is talking to him) at the same time as they are walking.
Out of interest are you here alone?
No I am not I am here with a new recruit to the newspaper who name is George but I don't know his last name because I have only just met him.
Where is he at the moment?
He is outside in the car.
Why is he outside in the car?
He is outside because me and 1 of the prison guards are friends and I got my friend the prison guard who is called Jimmy to make sure he doesn't come in and bothered me and you when we talk especially when I talk to you about how much I love you and about how me and you will soon be married because we love each other and we will talk about how much we love each other.
You are so romantic.
Then they both stopped walking and she kissed him.
Then she stopped kissing him.
You are so romantic and I love you and stuff she said at the same time as she was picking her nose.
Thank you I love you to.
Then she pulled her finger out of her nose and kissed him again.
Then she stopped kissing him again.
You are so romantic.
Then she kissed him again.
Then she stopped kissing him again.
Out of interest I am very happy about the matter that we will soon be married.
You are so romantic.
Then she kissed him again.
Then she stopped kissing him again.
Then they continue walking down the corridor and they both stopped outside of the execution room.
Then Walter's fiancée looked at Walter and continue talking to him.
This is the room where I work in and it is the room where the prisoner who are about to be executed stayed for his/her last night before they are taken to the room with the electric chair which is called the execution room and at the moment the criminal is in his cell but obviously you would know that because you have already spoken to him and at the moment the people you want to interview are in different places.
What do you mean different places?
Well the warden is in his office and the executioner it in the execution room getting it ready and the other people to do with the execution who work with the executioner are also in the execution room and out of interest which 1 would you like to interview 1st?
I would like to interview the warden 1st.
Okay let's go to his office and interview him.
Okay.
Then they both walked down the hallway.
Walter and his fiancée both stopped at the warden office.
Then they both walked in.
In the office of the warden of Sing Sing prison the warden of Sing Sing prison is sitting at his desk doing paperwork and to go into more detail the office of the warden of Sing Sing prison is very big and is filled up with over 20 years worth of stuff and most of it is unrecognisable and there are a bunch of cupboards and filing cabinets and the warden of Sing Sing prison is very fat and is wearing a black suit that is very ugly and he has short black hair and his desk is giant and old and is brown and is covered with paperwork to do with criminals at Sing Sing prison currently and paperwork to do with criminals at Sing Sing prison in the last 20 years and the paperwork he is doing at the moment is to do with the poet Lord Byron and he does not know that Walter and his fiancée are watching him.
Out of interest Lord Byron was a poet from the early part of the 1800s and he was a very creepy man and that is because he lived in a completely dark castle and he kept a wolf as a pet and he drunk out of human skulls and just in general people was creeping out by him and out of interest apart from the matter that he was very creepy you would imagine that he had tons of friends including a woman called Mary Shelley especially because he had a child with her half-sister Claire Clairmont and he was invited to a number of parties and social events and many other things that rich people go to and in general was considered the life and soul of the party and out of interest it was too bad that I never met him especially because he died in 1824 when he was 36-years-old.
Then the warden of Sing Sing prison look at a picture of the poet Lord Byron that is next to a number of other pictures on his desk that includes a picture of his recently dead wife and started talking to it.
Out of interest you had a very interesting life and that is because you lived in a great moment in time and it is because of that matter why whenever I think about your life I established to myself that I was born too late especially because you was alive and died in the beginning part of the 1800s and I was born near the end part of the 1800s.
Then the warden of Sing Sing prison continue doing his paperwork.
Out of interest later this week I should go to Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Hucknall in Nottinghamshire in England to visit the grave of the poet Lord Byron like I have done on many of occasions and right now I have finished establishing information about the poet Lord Byron and I will now begin establishing information about Pope Alexander VI and his reign from the 11th of August 1492 to the 18th of August 1503 and his life in general and when I have finished doing that I might establish information about other popes such as the homosexual 1 Pope Julius III and his reign from the 7th of February 1550 to the 23rd of March 1555 and his life in general and the longest reigning 1 Pope Pius IX and his reign from the 16th of June 1846 to the 7th of February 1878 and his life in general and the shortest reigning 1 Pope Urban VII and his reign for 13 calendar days and he died in 1590 before his coronation and his life in general and the 1 at the moment Pope Pius XII and his reign that has been going since the 2nd of March last year.
Then Walter and his fiancée walked over and sat down in 2 chairs in front of the desk of the warden of Sing Sing prison.
Then the warden of Sing Sing prison looked up from his paperwork and said hello miss disease.

Okay Lewis this is the reporter who is here to interview you to do with executed the serial killer.

In a flashback it is the 1st of January 1920 and Lewis Edward Lawes is walking down the corridor of Sing Sing prison carrying a giant cardboard box and at the moment he is thinking to himself about his new job as the warden of Sing Sing prison.
Out of interest today is going to be a good day for me especially because today I have a job that is much better than all the rest of my jobs.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes walked into his office carrying the giant cardboard box.
Inside of his new office Lewis Edward Lawes walk through his new office which at the moment is nearly completely empty apart from a desk and some filing cabinets on the other side of the room and some chairs next to the desk and Lewis Edward Lawes is carrying the giant cardboard box still.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes sat down at his new desk which is the same desk that he is sitting at in 1940 which at the moment is completely empty and Lewis Edward Lawes is carrying the giant cardboard box still.

Today is the 1st day of the rest of my life and me and my wife will go far in life because of this job and it will be much betters than my old jobs because those ones was good jobs but this 1 will be better.

Out of interest all of these objects will make my office look even better than it does right now especially because at the moment this place is nearer about completely empty.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes started doing paperwork to do with his job as the warden of Sing Sing prison.
Out of interest the job of the warden of Sing Sing prison has been going for nearly 100 years since 1825 when Elam Lynds became the 1st warden of Sing Sing prison and out of interest I am very happy about this new job and because of that matter I am hoping very much that I do this job for a very long time and out of interest my predecessor Daniel J. Grant was only the acting warden of Sing Sing prison for about a year from nearly end part of last year to today and out of interest none of my predecessors did the job for very long apart from my predecessor Augustus A. Brush who was the warden of Sing Sing prison from 1880 to 1891.
Later in the day warden Lawes is walking around the prison and is talking to some female secretary who is unimportant.
Out of interest young lady can you tell me about my schedule?
Okay Warden Lawes the schedule for today is in 10 minutes it will be 9.00 AM which is when we wake up the prisoners and also today you have a board meeting and a bunch of other stuff.
It is tough to be the warden.
Yes it is but it is really rewarding and to go into more detail when you are doing your job you are going to get lots of money and people who fear you and people who respect you and you will be famous and you will be invited to a bunch of rich people houses for dinner and you will be invited to a bunch of parties run by a bunch of rich people and you will be interviewed in a bunch of magazines and newspapers to do with a bunch of stuff that you have done and because you are the boss if you say something a load of people will do it because they will have to because you are the boss.
It all sounds good.
Yes it does.
Back in 1940 and that was my 1st day as the warden of Sing Sing prison in 1920 and out of interest those 45 objects that I mentioned are still around my office and there are even more objects that are from the past around my office.
That is interesting and out of interest what was your jobs before you was the warden of Sing Sing prison?
I have had a number of jobs before I was the warden of Sing Sing prison.
Can you go into more detail about them?
Yes I can and out of interest when I was a boy my father was a prison guard at the New York State Reformatory and he took me to work with him a number of times of a number of years but I do not care about that because I never liked my father and because of that I ran away from home at the age of 17 and joined the United States Coast Artillery and later I worked at an insurance company before beginning my prison career as a Prison guard at Clinton Prison in Dannemora in New York on the 1st of March 1905.
In a flashback it is the 1st of March 1905 in a corridor in Clinton Prison in Dannemora in New York that is completely white and completely empty Lewis Edward Lawes is talking to a prison guard friend of his who is unimportant.
Out of interest I cannot wait to start this job because this will probably be a very good job.
You are correct because this job properly has good money and we can beat people to death especially if they attack us 1st or if we feel like it and we just make it look like they try to attack us.
That is completely correct and hopefully that will happen because the prisoners in this prison all deserved to die because prisoners deserve to die because they broke the law and they got caught and because of that they deserve to die because if you are stupid enough to be captured breaking the law you deserve to die.
That is completely correct and because of that we will begin murdering people later today.
That sounds very good.
That is the right idea.
Back in 1940 and on the 30th of September 1905 I married my wife Katherine.
Can you go into more detail about that?
What do you want me to go in more detail about?
You and Your wife.
Okay then and out of interest I met her in 1905.
In a flashback it is somewhere after the 1st of March 1905 sometime in the early hours of the morning and Lewis Edward Lawes is in a completely dark room guarding some prisoner that cannot be seen in the shadows and Lewis Edward Lawes is standard some distance away from the prisoner and it is because that why Lewis Edward Lawes cannot see him.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes looked out of a window that was not there a moment ago.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes saw a woman walking in the grounds.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes ran out of the room.
Outside of the room Lewis Edward Lawes ran down the corridor and out of the building.
Outside of the building Lewis Edward Lawes ran across the grounds.
Then in the middle of the grounds Lewis Edward Lawes stops running and started looking around the grounds for the woman but he cannot see the woman at all.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes woke up in his bed in the place where the prison guards sleep in the prison.
The next day in a corridor in Clinton Prison in Dannemora in New York that is completely white and completely empty Lewis Edward Lawes is talking to the prison guard friend of his.
I saw her in 1 of my dreams again.
How many nights has it been now?
I have seen her in my dreams every night for 2 weeks in the same way.
Remind me again what is the way?
I am in a room guarding some prisoner with no identity that I cannot see and who I do not talk to and then I look out of the window and see her the girl of my dreams in the grounds of this prison and then I run out of the room and down the corridor of the prison and then I run out of the prison and I run to the middle of the grounds of this prison and when I get to in the middle of the grounds of this prison I do not see her again and every night it has been like that I see the girl of my dreams and when I go down there she is no longer there and it just makes me think that I will never have the girl of my dreams.
Don't talk stupid of course you will find the girl of your dreams.
Do you really think so?
I know so.
How many more dreams do you think I must go through 1st before I find the girl of my dreams?
I do not know but probably a load but hopefully you will find her.
The next day Lewis Edward Lawes is walking down a corridor in the prison.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes stop walking and looked out of the window and saw the girl from his dreams.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes ran down the corridor and out of the building.
Outside of the building Lewis Edward Lawes ran across the grounds.
Then in the middle of the grounds Lewis Edward Lawes walked up to her and said hello my name is Lewis Edward Lawes.
Then the girl from his dreams looked at him and started talking to him.
Hello Lewis my name is Katherine Stanley.
Hello Katherine.
Then he kissed her.
Back in 1940 and we was married from 1905 to when she died in 1937.
Then Lewis Edward Lawes looked at her picture on his desk.
Then Warden Lawes continued talking at the same time and he was looking at the picture of his deceased wife.
Me and my wife was married for over 30 years and I loved her.
Then Warden Lawes pauses for a minute and thought about her for a minute.
Then Warden Lawes put the picture of his deceased wife down and continues talking to Walter and his fiancée.
I will now go back to talking about my career and like I was saying I was a guard at Clinton Prison in Dannemora in New York and that started the 1st of March 1905 and I married the girl of my dreams the 30th of September 1905 and later I worked at the 1st Auburn Prison and then I worked at Elmira Reformatory and later in March 1915 I was named Superintendent of the City Reformatory on Hart Island in New York City and later I became warden of the Massachusetts State Prison in 1918.
In a flashback it is 1918 and Warden Lawes is sitting at his desk looking around his new office and to go into more detail the office is very small and very grey and just has a small desk and a chair behind the desk and piles of paperwork everywhere and nothing else.
Then Warden Lawes started thinking to himself about his office.
By the look of it this job will be much betters than my old jobs.
Then he started to do his paperwork.
Out of interest I do not like the look of this office but like I establish a moment ago this job will be much betters than my old jobs.
Back in 1940 and it was better than any of my other jobs apart from being the warden of Sing Sing prison and like I have already established in late 1919 I was offered the job as the warden of Sing Sing prison by the Governor of New York Al Smith and in 1920 I became the warden of Sing Sing prison and I have been the warden of Sing Sing prison since 1920.
Can you think of any of the prisoners that was here during your 20 years as warden of Sing Sing Prison?
Yes I can think of some.
Out of interest what do you remember of the years that you was warden of Sing Sing Prison?
I remember every single day for the past 20 years and I remember all the prisoners which was locked up in this prison and out of interest I used to have dinner in the canteen when it was empty at night time and out of interest I have lunch there with 2 guards guarding me and I have certain prisoners taken out of the cells and when they was taking out of their cell and brought to the empty canteen I would have a conversation with them at the same time as I was eating my dinner and the prisoners eat nothing because I only put them out of their cell and had them brought to the empty canteen because I wanted to say something to the prisoner and to go into more detail when I say I wanted to say something to the prisoner I actually mean I told them what to do and they did it or I would have made their sentences longer and then I have the guard throw the prisoner back into their cell and then continue eating my dinner.
Makes sense you was the warden.
Yes it does.
In a flashback it is 1921 at 12.30 AM and Warden Lawes is sitting at a table that prisoners usually eat there dinner at and he is eating dinner in the empty canteen what is completely empty apart from him and 2 guards who are guarding him when he is eating.
Then a guard pushed a prisoner on the floor of the empty canteen and to go into more detail the prisoner is a middle-aged man with long hair and a long beard wearing a prisoner uniform and mostly he looks like a tramp.
Then Warden Lawes looked at him and said what is your name prisoner?
Then the prisoner looked at Warden Lawes and started talking to him.
My name is Paul Geidel sir. How long have you been in Sing Sing prison prisoner?
I have been in Sing Sing prison since 1911 sir.
What was your crime prisoner?
Murder Sir.
What was the details of the murder prisoner?
The details was I committed a crime in 1911 at the Iroquois Hotel on West 44th Street in New York City when I was working as a bellhop sir.
In a flashback in a flashback it is late July 1911 and Paul Geidel is working as a bellhop and because of that he is holding a load suitcases and is walking into the room of a man named William H. Jackson who is a 73-year-old wealthy broker.
Inside of the hotel room Paul Geidel put the suitcases down.
Then Paul Geidel looked round at the fancy room that is filled up with very expensive furniture that Paul Geidel could never afford in 1 million years or 1 million lifetimes.
Then Paul Geidel saw some money on a very expensive table next to him.
Then Paul Geidel was about to steal the money but then William H. Jackson walked out of the bathroom and to go into more detail William H. Jackson is an old man wearing a very expensive suit and he has short brown hair and a long brown beard.
Then William H. Jackson looked at Paul Geidel and started talking to him.
Hello young man.
Hello Sir.
Thank you for bringing my bags in.
You are welcome Sir.
Then he gave Paul Geidel a small tip and William H. Jackson said to him tell the front desk I want a wakeup call for 8.00 AM because I have a meeting for tomorrow so I will go to bed early tonight.
Okay sir.
Then Paul Geidel walked out of the room.
Outside of the room Paul Geidel walked down a corridor that is nicer then anything Paul Geidel could ever own in 1 million years or 1 million lifetimes and he is thinking to himself about his situation.
That man has money and to go into more detail that man has more money than I have had my whole 17 year life and because of that matter I will rob him and maybe I will kill him but only if I have to because I do not want to be arrested for murder and I do not want to stay in prison to when I am in my 80s because I have my whole life in front of me and I do not want to spend the whole of my life in prison.
Later at night-time Paul Geidel walked into the hotel room.
Inside of the hotel room the hotel room is empty apart from the matter that William H. Jackson is laying on the bed fast asleep.
Then Paul Geidel snuck over to the bed which has money next to it.
After he snuck over to the bed Paul Geidel reached over for the money without even thinking about it.
Then suddenly William H. Jackson woke up and saw Paul Geidel trying to steal his money and because of that matter William H. Jackson started talking to Paul Geidel.
So try to steal my money will you I will now tell the front desk to call for a police officer and for that police officer to arrest you for the dirty thief that you are.
Then William H. Jackson reached for the phone.
Then Paul Geidel stabbed him in the hand.
Then Paul Geidel punched him over and over again.
Then Paul Geidel suffocated him to death with a rag filled with chloroform.
After he was dead Paul Geidel looked at the dead body of William H. Jackson for a moment without doing anything.
Then Paul Geidel took the money which is only a few dollars.
Then Paul Geidel walked out of the hotel room.
Outside of the hotel room Paul Geidel walked down the corridor and started thinking to himself about his situation.
I just stole an old man's money and I murdered him and obviously no 1 know that I did it because I am only a bellhop and who would suspect a bellhop of stealing and murdering and because of that I will never be captured by the police and because of that I will continue to rob and murder all over this hotel because once you kill someone you can never stop killing people until you are captured by the police or kills by the police and lucky for me both of those things will not happen to me.
The next day at 10:30 AM some business friends of William H. Jackson are wondering because William H. Jackson didn't turn up to a business meeting so because of that William H. Jackson's business friends told some police officers to break down the door of his hotel room.
After the police officers broke down the door William H. Jackson's business friends and the police officer saw the dead body of William H. Jackson laying on the bed.
Back in 1921 and the police hunted for the killer and because of that the police captured me 2 days later and I was arrested and I was charged with 2nd-degree murder and I was sent to prison for 20 years to life.
Out of interest you are never leave prison because of the stupid crime that you committed and also because at prisons they established once a criminal always a criminal and do you agree with that prisoner?
I don't know about that sir.
Is that a fact prisoner?
Then Warden Lawes clapped his hand and 1 of the guards punched Paul Geidel in the left kidney.
I said do you agree with that prisoner?
Paul Geidel was unclear how to answer the question so Warden Lawes clapped his hand again.
Then the guards punched Paul Geidel over and over again and Warden Lawes said do you agree with me prisoner?
Then Paul Geidel said yes.
Good.
Then Warden Lawes looked at the guards and started talking to them.
Throw the prisoner back in to his prison cell and make sure he stays there for the rest of the month and make sure he only gets half rations.
Then the guards dragged Paul Geidel away.
After the guards dragged Paul Geidel away the warden said I love my job and then continue eating his dinner.
Back in 1940 and that was me talking to 1 of the prisoners in the 20 years that I have been the warden of Sing Sing Prison.
Then Warden Lawes's female secretary walked into the room and to go into more detail she is a different female secretary to the 1 he had in 1920 but she is unimportant as well as that secretary from 1920.
Then Warden Lawes's female secretary walked up to Warden Lawes and started talking to him.
You must get ready for a meeting in 10 minutes.
Then Warden Lawes's female secretary walked out of the room.
Then Warden Lawes looked at Walter and his fiancée and continue talking to them.
I must continue working now so I might finish this interview later.
Then Walter looked at Warden Lawes and continue talking to him.
Okay Warden Lawes we will do the interview later.
Okay if I am not busy.
Then Walter and his fiancée both walked out of the office of the warden of Sing Sing prison.
Outside of the office of the warden of Sing Sing prison in the corridor Walter's fiancé said to him that is why I think of him as being a good boss.
Really a good boss.
Yes.
Walter and his fiancée both walked down the corridor talking at the same time and at the moment his fiancé is talking to Walter.
Out of interest if you said you will do the interview later by yourself he will say no but if he knows I am going to be there he will say yes because he loves me.
Really he does.
Yes I have always known that.
How long has this been going on for?
Since 3 years ago but he would never do anything about it because he is still in love with the memory of his dead wife.
Makes sense and out of interest where are we going next he said changing the subject.
Next you will interview the electrician who is executed the serial killer.
What is his name?
His name is Joseph Francel.
Where did you say he was again?
I said that the executioner was in the execution room.
Okay then we will go there and interview the electrician Joseph Francel.
Then they both walked over to the execution room of the electrician Joseph Francel.
Walter and his fiancée both stopped at the execution room.
Then they both walked into the execution room.
