As Hickman's thin lips formed
the refrain, his jailers recalled that
this was the song record found on

Bellevue Arms Apartment where
Hickman confessed he held his
little captive and put her to death.
Hickman presented an appearance
today entirely changed from that

say that he was crazy and did not
