Powerfully influenced by William S. Borroughs, who John Upton had met in Morocco, John Upton experimented with LSD and likely with mushrooms in magical ritual contexts, both entering and then evoking for us the faery-realms and witch-transformations spoken of by Isobel Gowdie and others ==

HERE BE INSTANT CUT-OUTS
WSB’s work “THE LAST WORDS OF DUTCH SCHULTZ” is based on the last words uttered by the jew gangster/numbers-racketeer Arthur Flegenheimer, 33-year-old, after he was killed in a bungled hit by either an unknown rival gangster or by a hit man paid for by his wife …. in the can of the Palace Chop House in Newark NY … at 10.30 pm on Wednesday October 23th 1935 …
In the Cape Goliard Press edition in 1970 , there is a transcript (pages 75-81) based on what the “police stenographer (F. J. Lang) at his bedside took down everything Dutch said, about 1,200 words.”
In “KILL THE DUTCHMAN!” by Paul Sann (1971, Arlington House) there is a full transcript. (see pics) and in later reprint (1991) the preface mentions WSB. (p.s. Bill explains that “Kim” is a reference to the book by Kipling….)
In “DUTCH SCHULTZ” by Ted Addy (1962) there is a summary (pages 162 – 167 Belmont Tower Books edition 1973) ) of that in which there are more details including that the trigger man was in fact Charley “The Bug” Workman … and that Dutch (a bad Jew) was given a death-bed baptism conversion into the Roman Catholic faith as “he needed all the luck he could get.”

note: i have not cross-checked this stuff with any of the bio’s or web-sites …
nor have i done a word count between the full transcript by Paul Sann and the abridged (it seems to me) version by WSB ….
