Man About To Die in Chair Denies Murder Charge
Frederick W. Heisler was executed in the electric chair in Santa Fe shortly after midnight for the 1951 slaying of Ohio steelworker John Gunnish. Heisler, defiant to the end, denounced the murder charge and told the warden God have mercy on your soul. He insisted the shooting was self defense and said he never saw his wife. His wife had attempted to intervene for two weeks. Heisler was arrested in California in November while using Gunnish’s name. He walked to the chair briskly after a final message to onlookers.
