“An execution carried out in secrecy is no better than lynching from a dry branch.”
Loren D. Estleman, The Branch and the Scaffold: The True Story of the West's Hanging Judge

“In 1914, Franz Ferdinand, the Austrian imperial heir, was shot and killed by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo. Do you know the motive behind the act?

It was in retaliation for the subjugation of the Sebs in Austria.

It was not.Franz Ferdinand had stated his intention to introduce reforms favorable to the Serbs in his empire. Had he survived to ascend the throne, he would have made a revolution unnecessary. In plain terms, he was killed because he was going to give the rebels what they were shouting for. They needed a despot in the palace in order to seize it.

What's good for reform is bad for the reformers”
Loren D. Estleman, Gas City

“Without question, his picture did not do him justice, but again, he was dead when it was taken”
Loren D. Estleman, The Branch and the Scaffold: The True Story of the West's Hanging Judge
