Description
This book gives the real account of murders that received the death penalty in East Tennessee. The facts of the cases are presented with the correct names of both victim and perpetrator. The first part of the book covers forty years, with twenty-nine men going to the gallows for their crime. The hangings were public, with large crowds attending. Some hangings were single, some double, some triple. One man was hanged on the gallows he had built for another man two years earlier. One man was hanged three times because the rope kept coming loose. The second part of the book covers another forty years after the electric chair was put in place in 1916 and replaced the noose. There are forty-three men listed that faced the electric chair with twenty-three hundred volts of electricity pumped through their bodies until they were dead. Some days there was only one electrocution, some days there were four. But the death by electrocution was over in two to three minutes. I hope this book is a benefit to you
