Executed
Adelbert Goheen
According to The Madison Daily Leader, Adelbert Goheen walked to the gallows at the Fergus Falls, Minnesota jail as erect as a soldier. A priest knelt and prayed with him before the sheriff released the trap shortly after midnight on October 24, 1891, in what the paper describes as an execution by hanging. The report says he died of strangulation and that his body hung for about twenty-five minutes before it was cut down.
