“You know that I spent several years in one of those places [reform school] when I was a boy and the so-called Training that I received while there is mainly the cause of my being the degenerate beast that I am today. I have thought about that system of Training young boys for all of my life and I know that the whole system is wrong. That system of beating goodness, religion and Jesus into boys in the 99 times out of 100 has the direct opposite effect of taking all of the goodness, kindness and love out of them and then replacing those with hate, envy deciete, [sic] tyrany [sic]and every other kind of meaness [sic] there is.”

“If you or any one [sic] else will take the trouble and have the inteligence [sic] and paitince [sic] to follow and examine every one of my crimes and actions you will find that I have consistently followed one idea thru all my life. I preyed upon the weak the harmless or unsuspecting. Those I have harmed were all either weaklings either mentaly [sic] or phisicaly [sic]. Those who were strong in either mind or body I first lied to and led into a trap where they were either asleep or drunk or helpless in some way. I always had all the best of it, because I knew ahead of time just what to expect and the others did not. I therefore was strong in my knolledge [sic] and stronger in body than those preyed upon. This lesson I was taught by others. Might makes right.”

“After serving about 2 years there I was pronounced by the parole board to be a nice, clean boy of good morals, as pure as lily and a credit to those in authority in the istatution [sic] where I had been sent to be reformed. Yes sure I was reformed all right, dam good and reformed too. When I got out of there I knew all about Jesus and the bible so much so that I knew it was all a lot of hot air. But that wasn’t all I knew. I had been taught by christians [sic] how to be a hypocrite and I had learned more about stealing, lying, hating, burning and killing. I had learned that a boys [sic] penis could be use [sic] for something besides to urinate with and that a rectum could be use [sic] for other purposes than crepitating. Oh yes I had learned a hell of a lot, from my expert instructors furnished to me free of charge by society in general and the state of Minnesota in particular. From the treatment I recieved [sic] while there and the lessons I learned from it, I had fully desided [sic] when I left there just how I would live my life. I made up my mind that I would rob, burn, destroy and kill every where [sic] I went and everybody I could as long as I lived. That’s the way I was reformed in the Minnesota State Training School. Thats [sic] the reasons why.”

“So if I succeed in my effort at suicide tonight then this will sure be the last I’ll ever say or write on this earth. The choice is mine and I fully realize just what I am doing. I would like to have it known just why I do this. I had no choice about coming into this world and nearly all of my 38 years in it I have had very little to say or do about how I should live my life. People have driven me into doing everything I have ever done. Now the time has come when I refuse to be driven any further. Tonight I die and tomorrow I go to the grave farther than that no man can drive me I am sure glad to leave this lousy world and the lousier people that live in it. But of all the lousy people in this world I believe that I am the lousiest of them all. Today I am dirty but tomorrow I’ll be just DIRT.”
