Executioner awaits Hauptmann job by 1920s killer Elliott
Robert Elliott, 61, the states’ longtime executioner, fears not the guilt of condemned men but sees capital punishment as vengeance not deterrence. He has carried out over 200 electrocutions across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, including Ruth Snyder, Sacco and Vanzetti, and Irene Schroeder. He insists on being called an electrician and notes his address is secret after his 1928 bombing. He earns about 150 dollars per execution plus travel costs, with total New York State earnings between 1800 and 3000 dollars in some years.
