As Calcraft and Evans took hold of the noose around the neck of Mary Ann,  she was lifted slightly and the noose was untied from around her neck, she  was then lowered onto the wooden planks of the gallows. Calcraft slipped the  blood stained white hood from her head, Mary Ann’s face was swollen and  contorted with her eyes slightly opened, her right eye was slightly protruding  from its orbit, her nose and mouth had been bleeding, her mouth was agape  and her lips were swollen, congealed blood being deposited to the insides of  the white hood.
