Executed
Victor Harry Feguer
Victor Harry Feguer spent his last days at the Iowa Penitentiary in Fort Madison, where he talked with his priest and wrote letters. He was hanged there on March 15, 1963, after a federal death sentence, appeals and a one-month stay. President John F. Kennedy declined to commute the sentence, according to a 2013 article in The Gazette (Cedar Rapids). That article describes the execution as the last carried out in Iowa and the last federal execution until 2001.
