      Yeah, this story Is absolute nonsense. There Is no way that he could have got anywhere near Pierrpoint or the condemned cell.
      My great gran was good friends with Albert's wife, and so knew him as well. As a result I've done some research on Pierrpoint and the whole process, and I've never come across this account - which should be Infamous If true.

      @tophatanimation8748 A sick prisoner cannot be confined to a cell unless a doctor says so. It's possible the doctor had two simultaneous commitments and asked to see the sick men near to the condemned cell before sending them to their cells. The prison would have wanted to clear the hospital, because sick prisoners are able to move about and the body would have been taken to the hospital mortuary. You are guessing that, Pierrepoint would have mentioned being slapped in the course of his duty.

    My father was a journalist reporting crime in South London at the time of Craig and Bentley. He became friends with Derek Bentley's mum and dad during the court case and was at their home when the telegram was delivered telling them that the then Home Secretary, David Maxwell Fyfe, had rejected their plea for mercy. That was Derek's last chance of a reprieve.
    My dad remained in contact with Derek's sister Iris Bentley for many years as she fought for his conviction to be quashed. Sadly she died the year before it was finally overturned in 1998.

    My dad was on that execution in 1953. I don't ever recall him telling me about this. Furthermore, The Chief Officer would have been there and the governor, not just the hangmen.
    What I do know though is that all the prison was on lockdown when an execution was in progress. No exceptions...ever!
    In those days they had metal/enamelled cups, My dad said that no matter what was tried the trapdoor could always be heard all over the prison when it fell, upon which, all of the prisoners would hammer on their cell door with their cup.
    My dad was quite affected by Bentley and told us about it when I was just young. The assistant executioner was Harry Allen and his wife told me that when he got home, he said, "We should never have hanged that lad."
