Executed
Name not reported
A man whose name is garbled in the scan was hanged as a condemned prisoner, according to a dispatch datelined Springfield, Mo., published in The Houston Daily Post on June 16, 1899. The report says that while he was being pinioned he broke away from the sheriff, was recaptured, and was then hanged. Because the scan is garbled, the exact date, the facility and the man's name cannot be confirmed from this account.
