At precisely 10:30 A.M. I got a call from a Mr. Machiano saying that while renovating a palace his men found the bones of what seamed to be a human body. When I got to the scene one of his men showed me to the corps. It had dirty, out-of-date clothes draped upon its remains with a piece a rope beside it. I asked Mr. Machiano how the body was discovered.         'My men were knocking …showed first 75 words of 658 total…

…showed last 75 words of 658 total…wife never found out. To make it even better, on that very wall I HUNG a picture my myself. I was hung in a picture, he was hung in a wall."         Montresor was convicted of 1st degree murder and sentenced to death. His final words were, " I'm an old man ready to die but are you a young woman ready to live with killing me? I could kill well and with pride. How about you?"
