Mr. M. Watt Espy
Capital Punishment Research Project
P.O. Box 277
Headland, AL 36345
Dear Watt:
What follows are the details for the new confirmations as gleaned from
the worksheets that you returned. Data on those for which you merely needed
additional information will follow under seperate cover. This aggregates
to nineteen new ones. Not a bad catch!
2-27-1880: JOHN HENRY JOHNSON at Savannah GA. According to the Riehmond
Dispatch issue of 2/28/80 (3:3) he was a negro who in March of 1878 had
murdered a seaman named Daniel McDermott, presumably white. The victim was
a member of the British bark Tekoma which was in the Port of Savannah at
the time of the killing. No details of the crime or motive. Johnson confessed
and said that his sentence was just.
3-12-1880: | JOHN MAYFIELD at Florence AL. According to the Rtechmond Dis-
pateh issue of 3/13/80 (3:3) he murdered one Toby Irvine at Florence on
11-11-78. Both killer and victim were black.
5-28-1880: THOMAS EDMUNDS & L.L. FORD in Arkansas. The following his copied
verbatim from the Atlanta Constttutton of 5/29/80 (1:4). 'Little Rock, ARK,
May 28 - Thomas Edmunds was hanged at Ozark today for the murder of a woman
/ who passed as his wife and his illegitimate son. He denied his guilt to the
' last but met his death calmly. Edmunds had a wife and child living in Kentucky
and committed the crime when his illicit connection was discovered.
L.L. Ford was hanged at Marion for the murder last October of Tim Bradbury,
whom he, aided by several others, attempted to rob and being resisted, shot
Ford, He protested his innocence to the last.'
11-4-1881: TOM BETTS at Jonesboro GA. Betts was a 26 year old negro who
in August of 1880 killed and robbed an old white man named H.J. Moore, a res-
ident of Clayton County. On the fatal day Moore went to Jonesboro to transact
some business and was followed on his way home by Betts. When he got in his
barnyard and was in the act of unhitching his horses, Betts snuck up behind
him and gave him a fatal knock on the head with a rail maul. Then he rifled
his pockets and fled. Betts' gallows was erected at a point outside of Jones-
boro so that the execution cart would have to deliberately follow the same
route as had Betts when he followed his victim. He confessed and said that
his fate was just. The press was extremely hostile to him; the following being
the opening paragraph of the account of his execution as taken from the Atlanta
Constttutton issue of 11/5/81 (1:5) "Jonesboro, twenty miles distant, was yes-
terday the scene of a righteous vindication of the law. Tom Betts, a brutal
and graceless negro scoundrel, expiated upon the gallows his crime of murder.
He enacted a cowardly assasination and died the death of a dog as he deserved."
5-5-1882: WILLIS PETTIT. "Chicago, May 5 - The Evening Journal's Little
Rock Special says that Willis Pettit was hanged at Taplequah, Indian Territory,
at noon today for the murder of Margaret Ford. The execution was private.'
Atlanta Constttutton 5/6/82 (1:4)
2-8-1895: WILL MURRAY at Americus GA. Murray was a negro member of a road crew
that in July of 1894 was working near the plantation of Will Sims in DeSoto village.
Sims had been appointed overseer and upon his reprimanding Murray, received a fatal
knock on the head with a hoe. Said to be first Sumter County execution in 18 years.
Atlanta Constitutton 2/9/95 (3:6)
10-25-1895: GEORGE McCRARY at Greenville GA for murder of Billy Mills in 1894.
No further details provided. Atlanta Constttutton 10/26/95 (3:1)
1-10-1896: JOHN JACKSON at Cuthbert GA. John Jackson, negro, murdered George wil
/ Rawson, negro, in October of 1895. Both were tenants on the plantation of Col.
/ Arthur Hood near Cuthbert. Jackson got angry with Rawson because the latter would
not allow him to bring home a hoe with which he had been working on the fatal day.
Jackson slapped Rawson across the face and chased him until Rawson got caught in
a barbed-wire fence where he then beat him to death with the hoe. Atlanta Consti-
tutton 1/11/96 (3:3)
4-16-1897: LOVETT BROOKINS at Louisville GA. No details whatsoever of culprit
nor crime. Only bare account of execution. Crime was a murder which he confessed
but said was done in a heat of passion. Execution was meticulously photographed.
Atlanta Constitutton 4/17/97 (2:4)
2-4-1898: GUS WACHTIN at Hillsboro, Oregon. Wachtin murdered a Washington Co.
rancher named John Lederock on 3/19/94. Wachtin was 24 years old and had previ-
ously done a stretch in the State Pen. for rustling one of Lederock's cows. Upon
his release he went strait to Lederock's house and bashed his brains out with a
club. Then he buried victim in his own barnyard, robbed his house and rustled his
horses. Wachtin then disappeared for two years but was apprehended in 9/97 in
Mercer County. He made an unsuccessful attempt to blame the crime on an innocent
neighbor of the deceased. Atlanta Constitution 2/5/98 (2:4)
3-24-1899: GRANTVILLE JENKINS at Franklin Texas. ‘At Franklin, Grantville Jen-
kins, negro, was hanged for the murder of Peter Odun, white'. Atlanta Constitutton
3/25/99 (1:4). Note: this notice comes as the tail end of an article entitled
TWO EXECUTIONS IN TEXAS, the greater part of which deals with the execution of one
Pate Burton at Houston.
6-9-1882: TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY LYNCHED. 'Perham, Minnesota, June 9 - John Trib-
betts, the boy who murdered Washington and Fehrback a few days since was brought
here yesterday and examined before a Justice. Towards night the propriety of
/lynching him was freely discussed but no&¥ decision was arrived at. But at about
‘ one o'clock this morning twenty resolute men broke into the jail and with great
difficulty broke open his cell and seized him, the terrified boy saying: "Don't
boys! This is too rough!" The lynchers then carried him to the railroad tracks
a few rods away, rested a ladd$er against a telegraph pole, looped one end of a
rope around his neck, and throwing it over a round of the ladder, hoisted him
away. The lynchers kept the crowd back with drawn revolvers and as soon as the
work was done, scattered in all directions. Tribbitts, who was only 12 years old,
made a full confession last night. He laughed at the crowd that met him yester- wi
day morning but became depressed at night. The lynchers will probably not suffer
for their crime.’ Atlanta Constttutton 6/10/82 (1:6)
7-27-1882: ED BELTON in Louisiana. Upon cross check and double check with New
Orleans newspaper, an editorial error in the Richmond Dispatch is revealed. Yes,
it is the same case as that of 1/27/82. So please disregard this one. The New
Orleans paper adds, however, that Belton's case was the first death sentence in
DeSoto Gowmsse since it was established.

3-19-1886: WILLIAM J. WARD at Ozark, Alabama. Ward was a native of Dale County
born in the year 1835. On 9-30-1883 he shot down one Jacob J. Palmer as he was
driving along the road between the villages of Echo and Newton. Palmer was carried
home where he died later the same day. Both killer and victim were white. It was
said that Palmer had purchased some land which Ward had coveted and thereby aroused
the latter's antipathy. Ward's case was twice heard by the Alabama Supreme Court
and his conviction twice affirmed by that court. He was said to be the first white
man to be legally executed in the state since the War. Editorial comments of the
time profess great astonishment that such a thing had happened in such a 'quiet
corner of the state’. Atlanta Constitutton 3/20/86 (5:4)
9-3-1886: DOUBLE EXECUTION IN ARKANSAS. ‘Memphis TN, Sept. 3 - James Simpson
and Patterson Bell, negroes, were hanged today at Marion, Crittenden County, Ark.
They both declared their innocence although they confessed. The drop was sprung
at 1:20 PM and in twelve minutes both were pronounced dead, their necks having
been broken.' Atlanta Constitutton 9/4/86 (2:1)
4-24-1888: BABE MAPARDY at Coweta OK. Confirmation is now elusive but I was
able to locate the following: 'Muskogee I.T., April 20 - Yesterday the Coweta
Court of the Muskogee Nation found Babe Mapardy guilty of larceny and today he
was sentenced to be shot to death on Tuesday next. Mapardy has been convicted of .
Jarceny three times; the first offence being punished with fifty lashes and the c
\ / second with one hundred administered by powerful arms with hickory switches and
laid upon the bare back. The law of this Nation says that death shall be the
punishment for the third offence. But executive interference saved Babe from
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth offences. This time the Chief refuses to
pardon or respite him and as soon as Tuesday arrives, Babe will suffer death.
Mapardy is an old offender also at Fort Smith and is under bond there to appear
to answer several charges.' Atlanta Constttution 4/21/88 (1:4)

12-6-1889 CHARLIE JOHNSON at Gadsden, Alabama. 'Gadsden AL, Dec. 6 - Charlie
Johnson alias Wade Holmes, (colored), was hanged today for the murder of Officer
D.J. Kinney in November of 1888. His neck was broken. He met his death calmly.
He was born in Marietta Georgia in 1864. He made a confession under oath to other
murders and his career as a robber and gambler. His first victim was an old man
on a Georgia railroad train whom he killed by throwing a stone through the window.
This was done when he was thirteen years old. He knocked the guard down on two
occasions and escaped from the Georgia Penitentiary. He cut a mule's throat that
he rode and killed one of his pursuers by throwing him off a railroad trestle.
Through jealousy he killed Tom Green near Big Shanty by cutting his throat. He
threw his body in a creek. He killed a negro woman and man at the Anniston & Cin-
cinnati tunnel before coming to Gadsden. His remains were taken by his brother
to Marietta.’ Atlanta Constitution 12/7/89 (2:2)
10-17-1890 ED MORRISON at Danielsville GA. Morrison was a negro denizon of
a railroad labor camp in Madison County. On 8-16-90 a white drover named Henry
Hunter stopped over at the camp and got into an argument with Morrison. Later
that same night Morrison followed Hunter into the camp commissary and shot him
dead. As the news spread, an angry mob of nearly four hundred armed men arose
at the camp and scoured the countryside for Morrison that night, sparing not a
single negro dwelling in their search. But Morrison gave his pursuers the slip
and was picked up some days later by the sherrif of Clarke County after being
recognized by a passenger on board a train that happened to be crossing the
Appalachee R.R. bridge at the same moment as Morrison was crossing it on foot.

8-26-1892 EDMUND GREEN in Fannin County GA. This miscreant came from a family
of Blue Ridge Mountain trash that had a feud going with one William O. Keener.
On 8-12-90 Edmund Green together with his cousin Ansil Green and the brothers
Bob and Jake Carter, (members of the Green clan), bushwacked Keener as he was
/working in his field and riddled him with bullets. Jake Carter was never caught.
‘ Bob Carter turned State's Evidence. Ansil Green was recommended to mercy. And
Edmund Green was condemned after two trials. His execution was a frightful affair.
The gallows was erected 3/4 of a mile from Fannin Courthouse and since it was to
be the first legal hanging since the incorporation of Fannin County, nearly all
of the district's 4000 residents were attracted by the novelty of the spectacle.
For some time previous to the actual execution a traveling preacher had worked
up the nerves of the crowd with a harangue about the injustice of hanging only
Ed Green despite his three accomplices and promised that God would send a sign
of His displeasure. Then when the critical moment came and the trap was sprung,
the rope broke and Green shot down through the trap and landed upon his waiting
coffin with such force that it shattered on impact. At the sight of this the
negro women gave such a ghastly shriek that panic seized the crowd and all 4000
stampeded in a mad frenzy to escape what they thought to be a manifestation of
Divine wrath. Many dozens of people were trampled or otherwise injured and by
the time that Green was successfully rehanged, more than half the crowd had fled.

5-26-1893 NICK NUTTING at Mt. Vernon GA. Nutting was a ‘young negro' who had
murdered a five year old negro girl named Zuilda Neal at Riddle & Ussery's Mill
in Montgomery County. He confessed his guilt and also confessed the murder of
Marshall Harris of Forsyth Co. He was suspected of other murders as well. Atlanta

Case of negro ex. at Columbia SC on 11-13-1797 for attempted murder of
Mr. Robert Maxwell. According to THE OTSEGO HERALD 12/18/97 (2:3) R.M.
died of his wound on 11/12. Slave had already been condemned on charge
of ATTEMPTED murder however.
Case of George Peters, Whitesboro NY, 8-28-1801. BEWARE! BAD ERRORS!
According to The Otsego Herald he was an Indian who killed his squaw.
He was originally sentenced to hang on 8/28/01 but received an indefinite
stay of execution to that the NY State Legislature could study the case.
The deliberations went against him. He was executed at Rome NY on 3-26-1802
The Otsego Herald of 4-8-1802 (2:4) gives a lengthy account of his execution
in which he addressed his fellow Indians in their native tongue.
Case of Negro Cato, Johnstown NY, 4-22-1803. The Otsego Herald 3-3-1803 (3:1)
says that the crime took place at the village of Charleston in Montgomery Co.
and that Cato confessed to rape/murder of Polly Aiken. He was aged 18 and she
aged 13.
Case of David Williams, supposedly ex. in Cayuga Co. NY on 8-27-1804.
According to The Otsego Herald of 3-5-1807 (2:2) he was still alive.
The State Legislature had just approved another indefinite stay for him.
The crime of James McLean, executed at Batavia NY in 1807.
A most diabolical deed was committed at Caledonia, county of Genesee on
Thursday evening last by one James McLean, a Scotchman, who with a number
of his countrymen were drinking together. Being somewhat intoxicated, a
dispute arose about a few pence which McLean was told he ought to pay for
whisky, and on refusing was called a 'sneak', which so enraged him that
he seized an axe and instantly killed one of the disputants by a blow that
nearly cut his head off. On his falling, another of them while stooping to
take him up, received a similar blow from the infuriated ruffian which dis-
patched him also. The names of the men killed are William Orr and Lochlin
McLouthlin. The wicked perpetrator of this shocking butchery made his es-
cape before the inhabitants rallied to take him but was apprehended on
Sunday at Lincoln and is presently lodged in the jail at Canandaigua.
The Otsego Herald 4-23-1807 (2:3)
Case of Rufus Hill, supposedly ex. at Norwich NY on 8-12-1808. ERROR!!!
According to The Otsego Herald of 8-27-1808 (2:4) he had been granted an
indefinite stay of execution by the State Legislature. Evidently he was
not executed because the case is not mentioned afterward. Had first had
suspicion aroused about veracity of this case when I checked Norwich news-
papers. 1879 account of Felix McCann execution said that the only other
one there had been Dennison in 1833.
er,
Augusta GA, July 12: On Saturday the 5th instant a negro man belonging
to Mrs. McCorcle was executed in Lincoln County for the murder of his
mistress. He was tried the Thursday preceeding. It appeared in evidence
that he had been rebuked on Tuesday morning by his mistress for beating
his wife. After which he went to plowing and in about two hours after
returned to the house with a club, went into the kitchen and knocked his
wife into the fire and was proceeding to further acts of violence when
Mrs. McCorcle went into the kitchen to save the negro woman if possible
from further harm, when the fellow immediately knocked her down and beat
her till she was dead. He then ran off but returned in the evening for
the purpose of procuring a horse for to more effectually assure his escape.
But he was discovered and apprehended. He was sentenced to be BURNT at the
stake, which sentence was executed on Saturday last in the presence of
numerous spectators who had assembled to behold the awful and shocking
spectacle. He confessed the murder and prayed with much earnestness for
the Divine forgiveness until the violence of the flames destroyed the
powers of utterance. - The Otsego Herald, 8-14-1806 (2:4)
Bey
| NATHAN TAIT was hanged at Sparta in Georgia for forgery and counterfeiting
, on the 25th of Sept. pursuant to sentence received in February 1801 but
\/ not then executed in consequence of his escaping from gaol till the time
aforesaid. He confessed also the stealing of eighteen different horses.
Ths MONROE, BARNEY PARE and ROBERT CASEY were executed at Hillsborough
in the same state for murder on the day following. - The Otsego Herald 10-15-1806 (3:2)
i
’ JAMES NIXON executed at Savannah GA on 2-9-1816 for murder. No details of crime.
He was a native of Crayton, Surry, England aged 25. The Otsego Herald 3-7-1816 (2:1)
On the 30th ultimo (11-30-1816) HENRY AUGUST was executed at Ravenna, Partage Co.
Ohio, for the murder of Epaphras Mathews, a peddlar from Bristol, Connecticut, on
the 20th of August 1814. He confessed the murder but died with remarkable firmness.
The Otsego Herald, 1-16-1817 (3:2)

"John Bowman, a youth of 11 years, was convicted at the late Court of
Oyer & Terminer in Herkimer Co. (NY) of the murder of Eliza White, a
child of four years of age, and sentenced to be executed on the 4th
of December next. - The Otsego Herald 10-17-1812 (3:2)
NOTE: Evidently not executed but may be youngest known case of where
a white child was legally condemned. Had sent you a case about
an eight year old negro girl in Virginia some days ago.
Case of Margaret Houghtaling. Hudson NY, 1817. Long account of execution
on front page of 10-30-1817 edition of The Otsego Herald. Says that she
was executed for poisoning fifteen month old Lewis Spencer, the child of
another woman who living with her at the house of John M. Crouse of Kin-
derhook. SPECIAL NOTE: She was white and the victim was BLACK.
Note concerning New York:
It is important to bear in mind that prior to 1840 the Governor of
New York had no commutation power. He could only grant a stay in order
to refer a case to further consideration by the State Legislature. A
disturbing number of your New York cases have turned out to be BOGUS.
Evidently your sources have a bad habit of taking tt for granted that
certain people were executed when they really weren't. We bumped heads
over this issue in 1988 when I told you that I believed most of the NYC
listing given by the author of the Yombs was contrived. Now the problem
has flared up again in the early 19th century in New York State.
IT IS MY OPINION THAT NO NEW YORK CASE BE TRUSTED UNLESS IT IS BACKED
UP BY A CONTEMPORARY NEWS ACCOUNT, PAMPHLET OR COMPENSATION RECORD.

Thomas B. Payne, a rebel guerilla, shot to death by musketry
at Lexington KY on that day.
J.J. Straney, age 18, a rebel guerilla, hanged at Louisville KY
on 4/27/65. Body sent to his mother at Mount Washington, Bullitt

murred when it was learned that Straney had killed his first man
at the age of 15.
Marshall Stewart previously reported as being hanged at Louis-
ville KY on 6/13/65 must be deleted. He Louisville Daily Journal
of 6/14/65 was premature in reporting his execution. According
to 7/7/65 (3:1) he was still alive under an indefinite stay.
Double execution at Ruby Valley, Nevada, on 6/15/65. Names not

South Carolina Executes
Killer Who Wanted to Die
By Kim Curtis, Associated Press,
11/15/96; 01:28
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A man who said
he wanted to die was executed early Friday
for murdering a couple in their home during
a 1983 burglary just two days after he was
paroled.
Doyle Cecil Lucas, 41, had given up appeals
and chose to die by injection instead of the
electric chair.
He was aonvicted of killing Bill Rayfield 65,
and Rayfield's 64-year-old wife, Evelyn, at
their home in Rock Hill, in north-central
South Carolina.
After shooting the couple, Lucas carried out
a blood-spattered pillowcase stuffed with
money and costume jewelry, and drove
away in the couple's silver Chrysler New
Yorker. Lucas, wearing a blood-stained
shirt and Rayfield's watch, was arrested
soon after when the car was spotted.
The Rayfields' grown sons, Mickey and
Steven, found their parents' bodies after
their father failed to arrive for work. Mickey
Rayfield witnessed Lucas' execution.
“I feel by seeing him die, it will provide
some sort of emotional closure," he said
before the execution.
Lucas' lawyer said Lucas was *‘filled with
remorse." ‘He hopes his dying will help the
Rayfields deal in some way with what he did
to them," David Bruck said.
Two days before the killings, Lucas was
paroled after serving one year of a two-year
sentence for truck theft.
Jury Selection Ends After
29 Days for Trial in
Charlotte, N.C., Slayings
Associated Press, / 1/15/96; 10:58
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Jury selection
took 29 days for the trial of a man who was
taped graphically describing the rape and
murder of 10 women.
The last of six alternate jurors was chosen
Thursday, and the trial of Henry Louis
Wallace should begin next Wednesday.
Wallace, 30, is charged with 27 crimes,
including nine counts of first-degree murder
and nine counts of first-degree rape. The
case of a 10th woman is being handled
separately.
Lawyers estimate the trial could last five to
seven weeks.
Wallace told police on March 13, 1994, that
he had killed 10 Charlotte women since
May 1992. The former fast-food worker
knew all the victims, black women age 18 to
35.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty
for Wallace, while defense lawyers, who
have acknowledged Wallace is the killer, are
hoping for second-degree murder verdicts
that will spare his life.
To do so, they must deal with taped
statements Wallace gave to homicide
investigators after his arrest. Defense
attorneys were unable to persuade
Mecklenberg County Superior Court Judge
Robert Johnston to block the tapes from
being admitted as evidence in the trial.
Wallace describes the killings in graphic
detail on the tapes, which were played in
open court during pretrial hearings. One
woman fell to her knees and prayed as she
was being killed, Wallace said, and in
another case, he poured rum on a victim's
body and set it afire.
Georgia Executes Killer
Who Wanted to Donate
Kidney to Cop
By Elliott Minor, Associated Press,
11/14/96; 00:43
JACKSON, Ga. (AP) - A killer who had
wanted to donate a kidney to the retired
detective who helped put him on death row
was executed early Thursday for murdering
three people over a $10,000 gambling debt.
Larry Grant Lonchar, 45, was electrocuted
at 12:39 a.m. despite a flurry of last-minute
appeals.
Twice earlier, he had won reprieves
minutes or hours before going to the
electric chair, most recently by offering to
donate his organs. He wanted to give his
kidney to Melvin Ferguson, who helped tie
him to the triple slaying.
The retired detective, whose kidneys had
been damaged during heart surgery,
contacted Lonchar's attorney, saying he
knew Lonchar's blood type from the
murder investigation and that it matched
his.
DAULAS
Mohn MEWS
-14 ~ 9
THAIRS.
But the state refused to allow the necessary
tests, saying it didn't want Ferguson to be
disappointed and that Lonchar was too
dangerous to be taken out of prison.
Lonchar, who spent more than 31 years of
his life behind bars, had changed his mind
often over the years on whether he wanted
to be executed.
The U.S. Supreme Court set aside an
earlier execution date in April when it
refused to set a time limit for state
death-row inmates to file their first federal
appeals.
Lonchar filed his first federal appeal in June
1995, saying he hoped the state would
change its execution method to lethal
injection because electrocution ruins organs

NEGRO IS HANGED
In Washington fordssaulting Fourteen-Year-Old Negro Girl
Washington, August 26, 1904 - John Burley, a negro forty years of age, was
hanged at the district jail here today for assault on a fourteen-year-old Negro
girl committed in July 1904. It was the first time the death penalty had been
inflicted in the District of Columbia for this offense.
An appeal to President Roosevelt recently for clemency resulted not only
in a refusal, but coupled with it a scathing arrainment of the prisoner and the
crime for which he was convicted.

TWO HANGED
Negroes Executed at Same Time in Pennsylvania
Murdered JamesiIpbnnelly, Whose Son Saw Execution - Juryman and
Spectators Faint at Sight
Pittsburg. July 14, 1904 - Tow Negroes, Frank Cusley and John Johnston, were
hanged together shortly after 10 o'clock today in the county jail yard. Both men
marched to the scaffold and with one pull of the lever were dropped to their death.
The execution was witnessed by a son of James Donnelly, whom the Negroes
murdered. Just as the trap was sprung by sheriff Dickson a member of the jury and
two spectators fell to the ground in a faint. Today's action was the first double
hanging to occur in this county in fifteen years.

RE: South Carolina
Colleton District, Dec. 7; Yesterday was executed at Jacksonborough pursuant
to his sentence JAMES HARVEY for the murder of Richard Johnson. We have really
to congradulate the public on the sword of the law having reached this culprit.
He was the overseer of Mr. Johnson and in the most wanton, coldblooded manner
without being even able to allege any injury received or cause of enmity, did
he decoy him out of his bed to his door where he was laying in wait to shoot
him. It is to be lamented that a wretch so destitute as he appears to have
been of all moral sense could be reared in a civilized society. He however
unexpectedly confessed his guilt. Charleston Courter 12-11-1804 (8:1)
Charleston; JOSHUA NETTLES and RICHARD DENNIS the Younger, who were convicted
of murder at the last Court of Sessions, were executed yesterday between the
hours of 12 and 2 o'clock agreeably to their sentences near the jail in this
city. Charleston Courier 2-9-1805 (8:1)
Note: According to C.C. 1-28-05 (2:1) Nettles conspired with a woman named
Elizabeth Cannon to murder her husband, John Cannon. It was a love triangle.
On 10/24/05 Nettles dragged Cannon out of his house in the middle of the
night, called him a 'son of a bitch' and strangled him with his bare hands.
The principal evidence was 12 year old Dorothy Cannon, a daughter of the
deceased. Mrs. Cannon was acquitted. When Nettles was hanged the rope slipped
so that its tautness came flush up against his face. At that point he managed
to free one of his hands with which he manually hoisted himself upwards enough
to slacken the rope so to twist the knot around to the back of his neck in-
stead of under his chin whereupon he was promptly strangled.
Note: According to C.C. 8-21-1804 (8:2) Dennis was an extremely young person
(exact age unspecified) who was associated with his father in the proprietor-
ship of the Carolina Coffee House in Charleston. On 8/21/04 a brawl broke out
in the place which was only subdued by Dennis Jr. shooting the ringleader dead
on the spot. According to C.C. 1-21-05 the name of the deceased was James Shaw,
a merchant of Charleston. Shaw was smashing up the Coffee House and had dared
Dennis to shoot him. The jury in the Dennis case recommended him to mercy as
did also the judge. However this is a rare case of where such recommendation
went unheeded.
Georgetown SC; On the 17th instant was executed pursuant to his sentence near
the public burial ground a negro fellow named 'Anthony' for a most daring assault
upon two young ladies of this place, from one of whom, (by threatening to murder
her), he extorted a gold watch. Previous to execution he confessed his guilt and
acknowledged that his punishment was just. We trust that this example will deter
others from similar attempts. Charleston Courter 1-23-1806 (3:1) (Highway Robbery)
South Carolina; On Thursday the 23rd instant was executed on Bellinger's Hill in
St. Andrew's Parish a negro fellow named 'Joe' alias 'Tom', supposedly belonging
to Thomas Pinckney Esq. of Ashepoo, found guilty at a Court of Magistrates and
Freeholders held in said Parish on the 2lst instant, of robbing a wagon on the
high road and battery with intent to murder on the body of Walter Carson Dixon,
one of the good citizens of this state. Charleston Courter 1-29-1806 (Highway Robbery)

Dear Watt:
Here ts a new one:
'Coffee', negro servant of Hezektah Taleott of Durham CT.
j Shot to death an Indian named 'Nasco' at Stratford CT
\ on January 7th 1719/20. Tried & convicted at Fairfield
County Assizes on March 1st 1719/20. Sentenced to death.
Executed by hanging at Fatrfteld CT on March 16th 1720.
naw tlt
Mareh 16th 1720: Sherrif John Stone allowed charges of
8-16-06 (pounds-shillings-pence) for costs tn this case.
The source I used for this case was the ortgtonal court documents
tn the Connecticut State Library; Fatrfield County Supertor Court. I
might add that thts case is extremely obscure. There is no mentton of
tt by netther contemporary newspapers nor local historians.
On another matter, there was a case among the newspaper extracts I
sent you some time ago whtch menttoned a hanging at a place called
"Horse Neck". I cannot recall the name of the executed person but do
recall that he was a renegade during the revolution. To get to the
point, "Horse Neck", (of hitherto undetermined locale), was definitely
somewhere in Connecticut. It was NOT in Westchester County NY. There-
fore, would you kindly fish out thts case and classtfy it as a Conn.
case. Also, I'll need the details myself because I'll have to put it
with my New England list. Thanx.
Oh yes, lest I forget. THOMAS WATERS, hanged at Boston for larceny
tn 1687. The unduly harsh sentence he drew almost certainly had some-
thing to do with a past record on hts part. I find that in 1679 he was
bantshed from Massachusetts followtng an acquittal for rape.

Sam Barrow, (an Indian), executed at Taunton Mass. on August 7th 1676.
Based on the following excerpt from DIARY OF KING PHILIP'S WAR by Col.
Benjamin Church. (Original 17th century manuscript reprinted by the
Little Compton R.I. Historical Society, 1975. page 148:
But Sam Barrow, as noted a rogue as any among the enemy, fell tnto the
hands of the English at this time. Captain Church told him that because
of his tnhuman murders and barbarittes the Court had allowed him no
quarter and that he was to be forthwith put to death and that therefore
he was to prepare for it. Barrow replied that the sentence of death
against him was just and that indeed he was ashamed to live any longer
and desired no more favor than to smoke a whtff of tobacco before his
execution. When he had taken a few whiffs he satd that he was ready.
Upon whtch one of Capt. Church's Indians sunk hts hatchet into his bratn.

Indian 'Canonchet' executed at Stonington CT on 4-4-1676. He was the son
of 'Miantonimoh', high chief of the Narraganset Indians, who had been
given up as a political sacrifice in 1643 by the Connecticut authorities
to his tribe's mortal enemies the Mohegans and put to death by them.
Because of this Canonchet had always had a fearsome vendetta against the
whites. He was captured by a force of Connecticut troops and brought back
to their camp at Stonington where he was condemned by military tribunal.
Allied Indians were allowed to carry out death sentence. A firing squad
was composed of Pequot Indians. Mohegan Indians then quartered his body.
Afterward his head was sent to the Governor of Connecticut as a trophy.

By United Press International
Two years after the Supreme Court ruled
the death penalty ‘“‘cruel and unusual punish-
ment” as generally applied in America, at
least 156 persons await execution in American
prisons.
A total of 17 states hold prisoners under
capital sentence. North Carolina alone has 50.
In Florida, the first state to reimpose the
death penalty after the 1972 Supreme Court
decision, 30 persons await execution.
Georgia and Massachusetts each have 20
inmates on their death rows.
A UPI survey of all 50 states shows Death
Row or its equivalent is occupied in in New
Mexico (5), Alabama (1), Mississippi (1),
North Carolina (50), Ohio (3), Wyoming (4),
California (4), Georgia (20), Massachusetts
(20), Arizona (4), Indiana (2), Oklahoma (4),
Louisiana (5), South Carolina (1), Utah (1),
Texas (1) and Florida (30).
Last Person To Die Was In 1967
156 Persons Await Execution In American Prisons
The survey was made following the
Saturday sentencing of two young men in
Wyoming to die in the gas chamber for the
slaying of a couple of ‘Good Samaritans”’
who gave them a ridv on a snowy December
night last year.
Whether those two convicted men and the
154 other prisoners will eventually be
executed is uncertain.
The last man executed in the United States
was Luis Monge, 48, of Denver, who was put
to death in Colorado’s gas chamber June 2,
1967, for killing his wife and three of his 10
children on June 29, 1963,
States have held off carrying out capital
punishment since then because of the national
debate and legal appeals which culminated in
the landmark decision of the Supreme Court
of June 29, 1972, striking down the death
penalty.
The vote was 5-4, but only two of the nine
justices wanted the death penalty abolished
for all crimes.
As aresult of the decision, Sirhan B. Sirhan,
convicted killer of Senator Robert F. Ken-
nedy, and hippie cult leader Charles Manson,
covicted for the Tate-Labianca slayings, were
among those to escape death in California’s
apple green gas chamber at San Quentin.
Chief Justice Warren E. Burger dissented
from the majority, but suggested guidelines
which state legislatures might use in
fashioning new statutes.
Many states revised their law in an attempt
to meet the Supreme Court’s central points —
that the death penalty was not applied
equally. The new laws generally make it
mandatory and restrict it to certain crimes,
such as the kiling of a law enforcement of-
ticer, kidnaping and the like.
The first of the new state laws that will be
put to the high court test will be North
Carolina’s, The Supreme Court is expected to
hear appeals against the state’s new law in its
first session after the summer vacation.
Numerous other states have similarly -
rewritten their laws to meet the Chief
Justice’s guidelines, as had Wyoming which
Saturday sentenced Billy J. Cloman, 19, and
Julian P. Turner, 25, both of Portland, Ore., to
be executed Oct. 10.
As with other states, the sentences are
automatically appealed and many of the new
state laws eventually will face the scrutiny of
the Supreme Court for a ruling on their
constitutionality. y
Former President Nixon proposed rein-
stitution of the death penalty for certain
violations of federal statutes, including
skyjacking. The bill has been passed in the
Senate but has not yet been acted on by the
House.

NEWMAN (NORMAN), Eli, white hanged Huntsville, Madison Co., December 19, 1812.
Newman (aka Norman), a Tennessean, had worked on a flatboat taking a load of produce
to New Orleans. He and the other workers were returning home on foot after having been paid
when he and one of his companions decided to remain behind the others for a night. Newman cut
the throat of the other worker as he slept and robbed him. When he caught up with the others
and could give no satisfactory explanation for the missing man’s absence, they had him arrested
and taken back to where he and his victim had camped. They found the dead man’s body and
Newman was taken to Huntsville to await trial. Future Governor and U. S. Senator C. C. Clay
served as the prosecutor at the trail which began on the second Monday in December. Newman
was sentenced on Friday and hanged from a gallows erected on the edge of town and hanged the
next day. At the time of the crime and execution, Alabama was a part of the Mississippi
Territory.-Williams’ Huntsville Directory, City Guide and Business Mirror, Vol. 1, 1859-1860;
Huntsville: Cotart & Son, 1859, page 11; Northern Alabama - Historical and Biographical,
Birmingham: Smith & DeLand, 1888, page 250..
WOODS, John, white, shot (Military) Fort Strother, Talladega Co., February 8, 1814.
Woods, 17, was a Tennessean who had served in the militia for less than one month when
he marched off as a part of General Andrew Jackson’s expedition to subdue the Creek Indians in
the Mississippi Territory. On February 6, 1814, they were encamped at Fort Strother and Woods
had served on guard duty all night. He got into a dispute with the officer of the day while he
was eating breakfast and when the officer ordered him arrested, Woods grabbed his gun and
threatened to kill the first man to lay hands on him. He surrendered when Jackson himself de-
manded it and he was tried by court martial and condemned for mutiny. Jackson pondered the
boy’s fate for two days before deciding to approve the tribunal’s sentence, deciding that it
might help to restore discipline. Woods was executed by a firing squad composed of Army
Regulars in the presence of his fellow militiamen.-O/d Hickory: A Life of Andrew Jackson, by
Burke Davis; New York: Dial Press, 1913, pp 88-89; The Raven, by Marquis James;. New York:
Grossett & Dunl,ap, 1929, pp 31-32.
HARRIS, John; HUNT, David; LEWIS, Henry; LINSEY, Edward; MORROW, David &
WEBB, James, whites, shot (Military), Mobile, Mobile Co., February 21, 1815.
Harris, Hunt, Lewis, Linsey, Morrow & Webb were members of General Andrew
Jackson’s Tennessee militia engaged in the defense of Mobile against the British. The mistakenly
believed that their terms of enlistment had expired and started home. All had proven themselves
in battle as brave and courageous men and, after their arrest, conceded that they were in error.
They were condemned by court martial to be shot for mutiny and conspiracy, and even though
other officers interceded for clemency, Jackson ordered the executions to take place (these exe-
cutions were subsequently used against him politically). They were shot in the presence of the
entire contingent of 1,400 militiamen and a large crowd of civilians by a firing squad composed
of 36 riflemen. Alabama was a part of the Mississippi Territory at this time.-Life of Andrew
Jackson, by James Parton; Boston: Ticknor & Fields Co., 1866, Vol. 2, Chapter 22.
LUKE, Slave, black, hanged Huntsville, Madison Co., March 5, 1819.
Luke, a slave of Uriah Bass, was condemned for an assault with intent to kill Edmund
Blankenship, white.-Minutes of the Madison County Circuit Court, 1818-1819, pp168-70;
was hung at Tuscaloosa on Oct. 11, 1822, and his lieutenant, John Reed, escaped the same fate to
which he was condemned by dying the prison before the day.”-Niles Register, 11/9/1822.
“.. Thomas Davis, who was convicted of making counterfeit banknotes at the late Circuit
Court, was executed on Oct. 11 agreeably to his sentence. He was upwards of 60 years of age,
33 of which he had spent in counterfeiting. Previous to his death, he had unburthened his mind by
writing an epitome of the dangers, escapes and viscitudes of his eventful life... John Reed escaped
the execution of his sentence by dying of fever the preceeding Wednesday...”-Cahawba Press and
Alabama Intelligencer, Cahawba, AL, 10/26/1832.
WILSON, Horatio, white, hanged Jackson Co., November 15, 1822.
“On Friday, the 15th inst., Horatio Wilson, who was condemned at the last circuit court of
Jackson County for the murder of Gregg,m was executed agreeably to the sentence of the court.
We understand that he was convicted from strong circumstantial evidence only, and that he per-
sisted in his innocence even under the gallows, declaring that he killed Gregg in self-defense.-
Huntsville Republican, 11/22/1822.”-Mobile Commercial Register, Mobile, AL, 12/12/1822
(2/4).
DAVY, Slave, black, hanged Cahawba, Dallas Co., May 2, 1823.
“Yesterday, being the day appointed for the execution of Davy, a negro man slave con-
victed at the last term of the Circuit Court of this county, the awful sentence of the law was
enforced. We understand that an application was made to the Governor for a plardon, which was
refused.”-Cahawba Press and Alabama Intelligencer, Cahawba, AL, 5/3/1823 (3/1).
BRIDWELL, William, white, hanged Moulton, Lawrence Co., October 24, 1823.
“The Florence (Alabama) Gazette states that Mr. Rhea, one of the most skillful and
experienced pilots through the Muscle Shoals, was recently murdered by a man whose name is not
given. The parites entertained an old animosity towards each other, and the perpetrator of this
horrid deed - an old man and a stranger in the country, embrced the opportunity when Rhea was
asleep of severing his head from his body with an axe. The murderer is in confinement.”-Daily
National Intelligencer, Washington, DC, 5/29/1822 (3/1).
“Execution-William Bridwell, who was some time ago convicted in Lawrence County,
Ala., of the murder of Mr. Rhea, was executed at Moulton on Friday, 24th ult.”-Mobile Commer-
cial Register, Mobile, AL, 11/29/1823 (2/1).
LESTER, Edmund W., white, hanged Huntsville, Madison Co., January 2, 1824.
“Huntsville, Nov. 28.-On Monday last, the trial of Lester for the murder of his wife came
on before the court now sitting in this place, and continued until near 12 o’clock on Tuesday,
when, after a very impartial and lucid charge by his honor, Judge Clay, the jury retired; And after
an absence of a short time returned with a verdict of guilty! The testimony was for the most part
circumstantial, as to the murder, it attended with such strong aggravating and appalling circum-
stances as to leave no reasonable doubt on the mind ef an intelligent and candid jury. We do
not at present feel at liberty to detail circumstances, no knowing what efforts may yet be made
in behalf of the prisoner...Alabamian. ”-Cakhawba Press and Alabama Intgelligencer, 12/13/1823
(2/5);
from her horse, carried about thirty places from the public road, and there inhumanly butchered by
him. For several days after the murder was committed, it was general thought she was killed by
the horse. A few days after, it was ascertained that a fellow beoning to a gentleman in the upper
part of the country, of uncommonly bad character, was lying out. From the manner in which he
acted while in the settlement, together with his previous bad standing, suspicion began to fall on
him. On Saturday evening, having learned he had the night before gone in, a party of gentlemen
(one of whom was a deputy sheriff), immediately repaired to his master’s home where he was
confined and took him into custody. He then went with them to his place of deposite, where he
had a number of articles concealed, among which was a handkerchief that belonged to the young
lady, besmeared with blood. On their return with him, he showed the very spot where the foul
deed was done and the body found. Her throat was cut and the bone dislocated and from all
appearance every drop of blood in her body discharged. The nego alledges that the murder was
committed by another fellow in his presence with a cutlass, but there is no doubt the diabolical act
was committed by himself. The deceased was about 15-years-of-age, in the full bloom of youth
and beauty; and has left a disconsolate mother and brother to lament her untimely fate. Since
the above Oparticulars, we have learned that this monster in human shape has confessed the foul
deed with circumstances too horrible to relate.-Alabama Whig.”-Southern Advocate, Huntsville,
AL, 10/19/1827.
According to Slavery In Alabama, by James P. Seller; Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama
Press, page 253, “...He was subsequently convicted and executed...”.
BOB, Slave, black, hanged Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa Co., April 21, 1827.
“..Bob, a negro who killed his master named Williams in the old Inge house, below the
same that is now occupied by Mrs. C. D. Connor below NewTown (in 1880), by shooting him
through a window at night...”-7he History of Tuscaloosa, 1816-1880, by Archibald McEachin;.
University: Confederate Publishing Co., 1977, page 29.
“On Saturday last, negro Bob was hanged at Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the murder of his
master, Capt. Williams, as mentioned in the Chronicle a few weeks ago. His confinement having
been but short, he exhibited no signs of having suffered from that cause, and maintained a bold
indifference, or rather insensitivity, to his impending fate until the closing scene. It is more than
suspected that he had been promised a rescue and never believed that he would be hung till the
morning of his last day. To say no more, the negroes, in groups, had been heard to swear that he
should not be hung, and a large number of them, we are told, was collected round the jail on the
preceding Sunday. Connected with this subject, it is supposed, was the firing of Mr. Comegy’s
house, as mentioned in our last, which, if wrapt in flames, might have served as a beacon light and
signal to collect the desperadoes from the surrounding country. So firmly were our citizens con-
vinced of this, that a strong armed guard was voluntarily turned out, as well to patrol our streets
as to defend the jail - and this was continued until Saturday. The sheriff, too, was on the alert,
and any scheme that could have devised for a rescue, must have failed.-7usaloosa Chronicle.”-
Southern Advocate, Huntsville, AL, 5/4/1827.

Double execution at Montgomery AL in 1855:
REVOLTING SPECTACLE - Two negroes were executed in Montgomery Alabama
on Friday last, one of them for ktlling his wtfe and the other for
attempting to kill his master. The Journal says:
One of the prisoners dted at once and eastly. Of the other, owing
to some defect in the arrangements, the neck was not dtslocated; the
knot of the rope catching under his chin did not slip. Hts arms not
being suffictently pintoned, he was enabled to reach the rope wtth
his hands, holding himself up and yelling vocetferously. It requtred
some short time to disengage him. About a thousand persons attended
the revolting spectacle. THE SOUTHERN BANNER, (Athens GA), 2-8-55 (3:2)
Triple execution at Macon GA in 1868:
According to THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION issue of 10-13-1868 (1:5) they were
all negroes who had murdered a white man named Jonathan Sheffield on 8-25-68.
Case of Stephen Dunston & Kinney Burns at Jefferson GA in 1873:
, Both were negroes executed for raping white women. But their crimes were
“/
seperate. Burns aged 22 and Dunstan aged 24. Dunstan participated in the
gang-rape of the widow Hood whereas Burns acted alone in raping the widow
Wilson. Burns cried innocence, saying that the Klan had tortured him into
making a false confession. But he was not believed on the rationale that
had the Klan really gotten ahold of him, he would not have lived to face a
court of law.

Shot by a firing squad composed of allied Indians and his head set on a spike
protruding from the gallows. Condemned for ambush slayings of Capt. Edward
Hutchinson and a party of men under his command on 8-2-1675 near Brookfield
Mass. He had also been a leader of the appalling Mendon raid of 7-14-1675.
NOTE WELL: His head was set next to that of his son, ‘Young Matoonas' who
had been executed in July of 1671 for murdering a white man named Zachary
Smith. His head was still on the spike five years later when his father came
to be executed. WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS YOUNG MATOONAS. Court records are
lost for 1671.

SYLVESTER COLSON executed at Boston Mass. on January 25th 1827 for
piracy & murder. A Federal case. Co-defendant Charles Marchant hung
himself in jail the previous night. Both of their hides were given
to the Harvard Medical School where a public exhibition was held and
gruesome galvanic experiments performed. Per The Troy (NY) Sentinel,
2-9-1827 (3:6)
PETER CRINE, New York, 1835. Crime committed on February 11th 1835.
He was a millwright who lived at the town of Minisink with his wife,
Ruth Mead Crine and their five children. A drunken wife-abuser. Came
home shit-faced on the fatal evening and lashed into his wife in a
manner that was brutal in the extreme. In front of the children, he
tore his wife's clothes off and whipped the living hell out of her
with fully a dozen willow switches and did not stop until every single
switch had broken from use. Then he beat her to a pulp with his fists,
stomped her with spiked boots and bashed her head against the stone
fireplace. Then he dragged her out into the winter night naked and
dumped her into a potato cellar like a load of coal. After about an
hour more he dragged her barely conscious out of the potato cellar
and tried to run her body through a cotton-seed linting machine. Then
he dragged her back into the house and threw her onto their bed only
to kick her out of the bed and onto the floor when she groaned in pain.
Finally the victim died in the act of trying to crawl to the children's
bed. Transcript of children's testimony literally moves one to tears.
Per The Newburgh (NY) Telegraph, 2/26/35 and 10/1/35
NERO GRANT executed at Bath NY on January 18th 1847. Crime committed
on April 13th 1846. Negro who killed a white man named James Pease at
the town of Urbanna by braining him with an axe. Motive unknown. Per
original trial record in 'Court Minutes of Steuben County' record book,
Steuben County Records Center, Bath NY. This case was previously vague.
JOHN WESLEY PINE, New York, 1848. Crime committed on January 9, 1848.
Murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell at Pleasant Valley. Pine was bartender
at the Pleasant Valley Hotel. He had previously been engaged to marry
the victim but had been jilted because he was poor. Victim then married
Mr. Benjamin Russell and added insult to injury by pestering the jilted
swain with lawsuits. This was her way of getting even with him for mis-
representing himself as a man of substance during their courtship. Pine
finally boiled over on the fatal day, purchased a pistol and went to
the Russell house where he blasted the materialistic bitch to kingdom come.
He was 36 years old. Per The Poughkeepsie Eagle 1/15/48 (2:7) and The
Poughkeepsie Telegram 4/19/48 (2:1), 5/24/48 (3:1) and 5/31/48 (3:1)
Correct date of execution is May 26th 1848.
MATTHEW WOOD, New York, 1849. Killed his wife with poisoned pancakes.
Per The New York Herald, 7/21/49 page 3
Nhe ON CTHER SIPE —
ALBERT BAHAM, white, age 22, executed at Auburn NY on January 24, 1851.
Crime committed on November 6th 1849. Baham lived on his father's farm
at Venice Centre. A yankee peddler named Nathan Adler happened by with
a merchandise consisting of watches and jewelry. Albert Baham and his
younger brother, John Baham, age 19, had their cupidity aroused and
bushwacked the peddler at a point down the road from their house. Albert
bashed the victim's head in with a pump handle. Then they concealed
Adler's body in the woods and plundered his wares. The victim's family
traced him to the Baham house and a clairvoyant led searchers to the
body. Suspicion was aroused against the Baham brothers about a month
after the peddlar's disappearance when they suddenly began trading off
an inordinate amount of watches and related items which no country lads
would have ordinarily had in such quantity. Both were sentenced to death
but the younger Baham managed to wrangle a commutation.
Per The Cayuga Chief, 12/4/49 and 1/28/51
JOHN FITZGERALD, New York, 1856. He was aged 18. Crime committed on
August 29th 1855. Slaughtered his parents and younger brother with an
axe because they had objected to his marrying outside the Catholic faith.
Victims were Mark Fitzgerald, age 45, Mary Fitzgerald, age 52 and James
Fitzgerald, age 15. They were massacred in their sleep. Lived at Sterling NY.
Per The Auburn Daily American, 8/31/55 page 2 and 3/28/56 page 2
WILLIAM FEE, New York, 1860. He was an Erie canal bargeman aged 25.
Crime committed on September 18th 1859. While on the road six miles east
of Clyde he and a companion named Thomas Muldoon encountered a woman of
about thirty years of age, (she was never identified), who was going from
door to door in search of employment. Fee demanded that she have sex with
him on the spot. She refused. So he overpowered her, dragged her into
the woods, raped and strangled her. He was later caught in NYC. Muldoon
was released for lack of evidence.
