The Hangman

A man due to die on the gallows was asked if he had any last words.

Yes, he said, I just want to say that I hate Masons. The man I killed was a Mason. 
Both the Crown attorny and the Judge at my trial were Masons and eight out of 
the twelve jurers were masons.

Is that all you have to say said the hangman.

The man stated, yes, that's it.

The hangman then said to the man, you will 
now take three paces commenceing with the left foot.
