Executed
Parsons
Albert Parsons was executed in Chicago on November 11, 1887, together with three other men, after the Illinois state courts and the United States Supreme Court declined to halt the sentence. The source names him only in a summary, so his age, background and the circumstances of his final days are not given in it. The account does not record any objection to the execution beyond the courts' refusals to intervene.
