Closing scene suggested for any Great Robbery re-enactment CM concurs with this stand Commentary on Who We Are, as a People I know this is a big weekend in Columbia. Did I ever tell you that when the Great Robbery was still being re-enacted, a Certain Unnamed Party and I came this close (thumb and forefinger held microns apart) to adding our own ending to the scene? Our plan was thus: as soon as the murdering thieves made their getaway, a runner would speed like lightning out Burkesville street, pound on door, and breathlessly give the terrible news to "Mrs. Martin," said news to be broadcast over speakers set up (quite surreptitiously of course) on the Square. Those same speakers would carry then have carried Mrs. Martin's (pre-recorded and perhaps overly, even uncmfortably, loud) wailing keen of shock and grief. Shortly thereafter, a funeral carriage of the era would have approached and made a make a half circle around the Square, exiting onto the Campbellsville Pike on the long sad journey to take Mr. Martin's remains home to the cadence of a tolling bell. I tell you this in strictest confidence, knowing you won't rat out Anonymous Kinfolk I & II. - AK I & II. Addresses, known whereabouts, and M.O. on file at CM. - EW This story was posted on 2013-10-11 09:27:01
