Murderer Stiles Is Electrocuted at Ohio Penitentiary
The Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus reports the electrocution of Butler Stiles at 12:01 am after he was marched to the chair. The 24th man executed since 1897, Stiles refused religious comfort and faced the high voltage without protest as guards observed. The case stemmed from a prior murder during a rampage and escape attempt. Also covered are Republican nominations at Central Turner Hall with Judge Samuel W. Smith elected for Circuit Court, after Melville Hayes withdrew.
