1706358337 在儿子被处决的前一天晚上,利奥·埃默里和弗洛伦斯·埃默里去旺兹沃斯监狱探望了他。“你们给了我最后一次欢送。”[32]约翰对他们说。第二天早上,在预定的行刑时间9点前不久,利奥·埃默里把佣人们叫到伊顿广场的家里。利奥·埃默里读了一首他写的关于约翰的诗,在场的每个人都背诵了主祷文。几乎与此同时,英国著名的刽子手阿尔伯特·皮埃尔波因特(Albert Pierrepoint)进入了约翰·埃默里在旺兹沃斯的牢房。囚犯伸出手来,“皮埃尔波因特先生,”他说,“我一直想见你,当然不是在这种情况下。”[33]吃惊的皮埃尔波因特握了握约翰的手,然后轻轻地把他转过来,把他的两臂捆在背后,领他上了绞刑架。在旺兹沃斯外,朱利安·埃默里坐在一辆车里等着。上午9点08分,一名监狱长在监狱外墙钉了一块布告牌:“今天对约翰·埃默里执行了死刑。”[34]
