11 in the morning
The newspaper clipping contained these words : Nothing , therefore , remains for the Court but to pronounce the sentence which a jury , almost wholly of your own selection , has adjudged your fitting doom . The crime you have committed is the most dreadful known to the law . For it there is but one penalty , the requisition of your life in forfeit for the one you have taken . The sentence of the Court is that you be conducted hence to the prison from which you came , and that you be confined there until Friday , the 18th day of March , following , and that you then , between the hours of 7 and 11 in the morning , be hanged by the neck until you are dead , and may God have mercy on you ! This is all that Billy Warlock knows or cares to know of the circumstances under which Lotchen became his child . He never made the slightest effort to discover more . It did n't interest him , and he did n't wish it to interest her .
