Condemned Woman Faces June Electric Chair
Mrs Lena Cusumano, condemned to die in the electric chair the week of June 2 for the Hull murder of her husband Frank, remains calm and hopeful her Boston attorney Thomas Grady and Abington lawyer William Coughlin will win a commutation to life. She kept to routine, sang hymns, and waited for visitors as Enrico Masciola, also condemned that week, prepared for possible execution. The exact move to Charlestown for the pair has not yet been decided, with a likely date after Wednesday.
