Wyoming to Hang Seng at State Penitentiary
Rawlins, May 14. Joseph Beng Seng will be hanged at the Wyoming state penitentiary at daybreak May 24. It will be the first legal hanging in the state since 1909 and the first under the new law. The hangman uses the same gallows from a previous execution with a water counterweight. Tests with sand bags will simulate Seng’s weight before the scheduled execution. Death watches have been placed as Governor Carey refused commutation.
