Murderer King Executed at Platteburg for First Degree Death
Henry King, 31, formerly a New York book-keeper turned embezzler, was executed at Clinton prison for murder in the first degree. After killing Michael Hamilton in a feud with his brother, the condemned man cited premeditation, proclaimed his guilt, and died at 11 43 a.m. from strangulation under the drop amid quiet final farewells. His life of crime, temper, and a controversial late confession framed the grim episode.
