Executioner’s cry goes unanswered in Sing Sing firing
Ossining N Y Jan 29 Gordon Fawcett Hamby a bank robber and train bandit known from coast to coast and linked to the 1918 murder of two Brooklyn bank employees was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison. He maintained his composure to the end and rejected chaplains joining him to the chair. He spoke to wardens and media, saying victims had a chance against his gun and that those who faced him had luck. He died after two electric shocks as authorities carried out the sentence. Hamby had insisted his name was Jay B Allen and spent his last day writing letters, reading quotes, and enjoying lobster salad before death. He asked a Catholic priest not to accompany him and gave a final message to the country’s youth about avoiding crime.
