Thanks for the information about Adams. William Rye's method
of dealing with a blackmailer early in "Dig Me a Grave" was a
bit brutal: he meets the blackmailer at the man's apartment,
beats him up and kicks him while he is on the floor, then
sets fire to the apartment in order to burn up all of the
blackmailer's materials. Rye acts like this is nothing
unusual, and shows no emotion. Adams must have been a fan of
Race Williams.
