Execution at Lebanon County Jail of Crommell for Murder

Condemned murderer Thomas Crommell faced the gallows at Lebanon County Jail. The 1903 execution proceeded without incident after a final hour of spiritual counsel with Rev. Page. Crommell declared his readiness to die and thanked the attending physicians and sheriff before the drop fell at 10 11. Death was by strangulation as a crowd watched from the yard and corridor.

Appalling murder case at Colebrook furnaces Lebanon

A detailed report from Lebanon County describes the May 1901 murder of Jacob Schmidt in a shanty near the Colebrook furnaces. The incident, between 4:15 and 3 o'clock on a Saturday morning, involved blunt force blows with a hammer and a pick handle, and the attacker was captured after a pursuit through Hillchurch and Cleona. Witnesses recount the grisly scene and the swift police response, including the arrest of a colored suspect and the subsequent coronial viewing and funeral of Schmidt, a German immigrant who had lived in Lebanon since 1895 and worked at the furnaces.
