27 EXT. PRISON YARD - DAY 27
MONTAGE:
SUPERIMPOSE: JANUARY 19TH, 1877.
A large crowd of people are assembled to witness the
execution of Joseph LePage for the murder of Josie A.
Langmaid. Mrs. Langmaid, standing with Mr. Langmaid, is
holding a newborn baby; a symbolic sign that life for the
Langmaid's will continue to move forward. There is almost a
carnival like atmosphere surrounding the event. A noose is
placed around LePage's neck. A single flower grows from a
clump of nearby weeds.
The Langmaid's burst into tears as Officer Hildreth is seen
presenting them with Josie's necklace and handkerchief.
A Drum roll is heard and all eyes are upon LePage who remains
cool and collected. At a signal from the Warden, the fatal
drop occurs. The Langmaid's are seen as the drop takes place
and then LePage's boots are seen swinging in the air.
