Fort Dodge editor recalls 1949 hanging
Fort Dodge editor emeritus Walt Stevens recalls covering the 1949 execution of Corliss Bruntlett for the Pottawattamie County murder of a cattle buyer. About 100 people attended including 25 official witnesses. Bruntlett showed little emotion, and the trap door dropped him about 10 feet. He died after doctors confirmed death. Stevens remains pro capital punishment under safeguards to prevent wrongful killings.
