Merra was executed after an extended legal battle that reached federal courts. The condemned man died in the death chamber shortly after eight o'clock, with counsel arguing habeas corpus appeals through state and federal courts. The case featured recounts of life imprisonment as a potential outcome and involved Judge Runyon and U.S. Circuit Court in the appellate process. A separate incident describes four men fatally wounding a public service pay car crew near Central Avenue Bath Street, fleeing without taking the $6,000 on board.
