A copy of the letter that Robert Paul Prager wrote to his parents shortly before he was hanged. Leaders of the street mob had let him write it on the fender of a car, then took him a few steps to the tree. Written in German, the note says, Dear parents, I must on this the 4th day of April, 1918, die. Please pray for me, my dear parents. This is my last letter and testament. Your dear son and brother, Robert Paul. The alleged mob leader gave the letter to the Collinsville Herald. (Post-Dispatch)

Post-Dispatch reporter Paul Y. Anderson, who interviewed the boastful Joseph Riegel a few days after the hanging of Robert Paul Prager. Riegel told Anderson that he had been the ringleader and was having second thoughts about his actions. But he denied it all in court. Anderson took the stand to confirm the accuracy of his interview with Riegel. In 1929, Anderson received a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the Teapot Dome Scandal. (Post-Dispatch)
