Executed
Jimmie Lee Gardner
Jimmie Lee Gardner, a 27-year-old Black man, was held at Georgia State Prison in Reidsville, Tattnall County, Georgia. The Georgia Department of Corrections records that the state executed him in the electric chair there on October 28, 1950. The only source here is the department's execution history, which lists the method and date but gives no further account of his life or of the proceedings. No other sources in this record describe his family, work, or what was disputed.
