At dawn on January 13, 1923, Jack Bluther, condemned to death by hanging for the murder of thirteen people (including his landlady), was allowed a last request. He asked to learn Mandarin, and was hanged twenty years later, finally speaking the language fluently, though his accent could have used a little more work.
