Monday, June 5, 1944
The steno pool at MI6 was quite jealous over the attention the stenographer Dorothy Brown received from the American soldiers. Over the months leading up to Operation Overlord her jealous co-workers conspired to frame her as spy. Wearing gloves they would retrieve her used carbon papers from her trash and type over the work she had done to make it appear she was a German spy!
Dorothy was arrest before dawn and a fast trial was held. Due to the war there was a shortage of defense barristers and a crotchety old American defense attorney named T. H. Tree. He felt the deck was stacked against him when Dorothy was brought bound and naked into the courtroom before the military Tribunal. Things did not look any better after the first question asked by the tribunal was “Is there any reason the spy Dorothy Brown should not be shot at noon?”
Tree shot back “What, and perforate those perfect tits? Why don’t you hang her?”
Dorothy looked down at Tree and asked “What kind of defense is that?”
“Listen, kid, I am not real familiar with English law but I have a feeling their minds are already made up!”
One of the tribunal said “Mr. Tree, that is not an option as the trapdoor is broken.
“Just hang the rope through the open trap, put her on a bench, noose her, and kick the bench away” Tree replied.
The tribunal was aghast and said “She could take minutes for her to die! We could never find a hangman to do such a cruel thing!”
“I would hope not- if the hangman couldn’t make her last kicking for at least 10 minutes he ought to be on the dole instead of working for you! By the way, I am a Certified Hangman (Local 2, St. Louis Hangman Union, AFL-CIO). I would be glad to hang her if I can fuck her first” Tree replied.
“Tree, whose side are you on” Dorothy asked.
“Oh, come on, Dorothy, you know you would like to fuck.”
“Yeah, but you damn better be really good!!!”
She did not seem to have any objections as she finished her last morning on earth…
… though she saw no need for the handcuffs… she would have willing given herself to him!
At ten minutes before noon she was brought deep into the bowels of the MI6 bunker. She was helped onto a stool and a noose was placed around her neck.
She protested that it was not an ‘English-style’ noose that would instantly close around her neck. It was explained that no English hangman could be found due to the war effort and the only hangman that could be found was an American named T. H. Tree- none other than her defense attorney- and he was only certified to use a ‘western-style’ noose!
“But aren’t I to be dropped
through the trapdoor” Dorothy asked as she looked up.
“The pins have been used to make bullets to kill your comrades, the Nazis!” the MI6 security officer growled. “I hope this Tree is true to his word and you kick for more than a quarter hour, you fucking spy!”
“I may be a slut but never a spy!” Dorothy protested just before Tree kicked the stool from beneath her feet. Tree was rather please that it was more than twenty minutes before she twitched her last!
Meanwhile one of the stenographers sends a coded message to a Gestapo Commander Herr Gruber telling him about the five women known as the ‘Purple Orchid’ and an address of a Paris apartment!!!
Tree
(Ed. note - Tree realizes this is the first time anyone has been executed twice in one thread but if you go to the 1944 London phonebook there has to be at least three dozen ‘D. Brown’s’ or ‘Dorothy Browns’ in it… Tree would never hang the same Dorothy Brown twice in one thread!!!)
