Frank DuPre Hangs Friday in Atlanta Trial on Dec 165
Frank B Dupre known as Peachtree bandit was hanged at Fulton county jail for the December murder of private detective Irby C Walker who tried to stop him after a jewelry store theft. He confessed after arrest in Detroit. A second execution, for a separate killing, occurred an hour earlier on the same scaffold as dozens of Atlanta women prayed for him. Attorneys investigated a juror relation report to Mrs Walker but the governor declined action. The execution proceeded between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. under orders of the superior court.
