Executed
Robert Jones
Robert Jones, a Black man, was executed by the State of Alabama in the electric chair at Kilby Prison in Montgomery on August 8, 1941, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections. The department's record gives his name, the date, the place and the method, and it contains nothing about his family, his work or how people remembered him. No other account of the execution was provided, so there is nothing to set against the department's claim.
