Bungling execution shocks Chicago crowd
George E Painter, once from Brooklyn, was hanged at the Chicago County Jail for murdering his wife Alice Martin. The execution misfired as the trap sprang and the rope broke, causing a grisly fall of about eight feet. He struck his head hard, blood streaming, was revived and hanged a second time amid a horrifying scene.
