Three-Time Slayer F. Wood Dies in Sing Sing Chair
Frederick C. Wood, a convict known for multiple killings, was executed in Sing Sing Prison’s electric chair after appealing to avoid death. He greeted the proceedings with a grim smile, declaring he wanted to “ride the lightning” and rejecting further life behind bars. His case drew last-ditch appeals from lawyers and civil liberties groups, but the Supreme Court declined relief. Wood had confessed to several slayings linked to a 1969 New York City wine party and other past crimes, and he requested a final meal of fried eggs, bacon, stewed tomatoes, vanilla ice cream, and tea.
