Death Penalty for Murder Set for Two Atlan ta Slayers
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 17 Two Atlanta slayers will die in the electric chair on Sept. 4 in a double execution ordered by Superior Court Judge G. H Howard. Fred Fair and S. W. Sisk were resentenced to death after the Supreme Court denied a rehearing for Fair following his 1980 Fulton Tower escape. Sisk has a 30 day respite while a plea for clemency is decided. Fair killed a policeman J. E. McDaniel in 1928 and Sisk helped kill FEIRA worker David A. Lord in 1983 at Center Hill. Attorneys for both say they will seek clemency from the state prison commission.
