Perry doesn't want to be hanged so he starves himself so that he can be taken to the hospital, which is also a pretty good idea. This makes the workers at the hospital force feed him and makes him postpone the hanging a little longer. While at the hospital, he starts to get really weird dreams. Perry then gets a letter from his dad but doesn't seem to care about it and just rips it up on the spot. When he became stable, he was moved back to the prison, where he stayed for another two years. People were somehow able to postpone his hanging. They get a new prisoners, one eighteen and the other nineteen. They killed seventeen people. Dick sends letters to the Kentucky Bar association so that he and Perry would get a retrial that was more fair. And they get one. The verdict was that they were able postpone the hanging a lot longer. Andrews gets sent to the gallows because he was still considered guilty. Another three years go by and Dick and Perry finally get hung.
