He never chewed a hand off, but it is reported that in his last days in prison, he gazed out the bars toward home. Some accounts have him diving out of a prison hospital window. I believe the guards sympathized with him because of his broken spirit. For decades he was buried in the prison cemetery a few hundred yards from where he jumped into eternity.
