Tucker Prison Farm Executed After Reconviction
Wesley Hildreth, 25? year old Lee County Negro, was executed at Tucker prison this morning for killing a white mother in Lee County. He had escaped the chair once before when the Arkansas Supreme Court set aside his conviction, was retried in Phillips County and again convicted, and the high court upheld that conviction. His death leaves five others in Arkansas's death house: Tommy Black, H. J. Needham, Herman Maxwell, Matthew Azell, and Robert L. Smith.
