- Warden: William Kemmler, you have been found guilty in the state of New York for the murder of Tillie Ziegler and for that you have been sentenced to death for that crime. Have you anything to say to those assembled here?
- William Kemmler: Gentleman, I wish you luck. I'm sure I'll get a good place, and I'm ready. Take it easy and do it properly. I'm in no hurry.
- Harold Pitney Brown: They have the darnest things in here. Would you believe they have a sewing machine? U. S. Mail delivers it right to your door.
- Sarah Brown: How can you look at that at a time like this? It's your big day... unless you are thinking that maybe some day your invention will be gracing those pages.
- Harold Pitney Brown: No. I don't suspect that would ever happen.
