Synopsis "Death Penalty "

This book gives the accurate account of murderers who received the death penalty in East Tennessee, USA. The facts of the cases are presented with the correct names of both victim and perpetrator. The name of the judge, law enforcement, and attorneys who worked the case are also mentioned. The first part of the book covers forty years, with twenty-nine men going to the gallows. The hangings were public in those days with large crowds attending. Some hangings were single, some double, and some triple. One man was hanged on the gallows he had built for another man two years earlier. One of the men 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 implemented in 1916 and replaced the gallows. There are forty-three men listed here that faced the chair where twenty-three hundred volts of electricity were pumped through their bodies. Some days there was only one electrocution, some days four or more.
