Have a friend bring you a narrow round hollow tube, about four inches long, the stoutest hardened steel or stronger. You should be able to breathe through it. Put it in your throat. At the gallows announce to the multitude, “As God is my witness, let the noose not kill me, then as witnesses, set me free, my innocence proven.”

Go far away, seek the best throat doctor around and find out when the pipe can be withdrawn.
