Henry Spencer
(died 1914)

What I got to say is that I'm innocent of the murder of Allison Rexroat! I never killed her! It's a lie! You're all dirty bastards! You got no right! I never touched her! So help me, God, I never harmed a hair on her head! So help me God!

The night before, Spencer confessed newsmenWallace Smith and Ben Hecht that he had, indeed, killed her.
