H.L. Mencken, the noted Baltimore author and journalist, witnessed nine hangings, including the 1926 execution of Richard Reese Whittemore, alias “The Candy Kid,” a gangster of some renown who killed a prison guard during an escape from the pen. “Hanging one scoundrel, it appears, does not deter the next,” Mencken later commented. “Well, what of it? The first one is at least disposed of.”
