Executed
Charles Drews
Charles Drews was hanged on November 14, 1879, at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, on the same gallows used for another man. The record we have is a single short newspaper item, so it gives no details of his family, work, or life before his death. It does not describe any objections to the execution or any account of the proceedings. The only fact it states about his death is the method and the date and place.
