Death in Chair for Kidnapper LaMarca in Ossining Prison
John Angelo LaMarca, 33, condemned kidnapper of infant Pete Weinberger, was executed in Sung Sing Prison's electric chair at 11 p.m. He had pleaded for saving via radio appeals to Gov. Harriman, but 400 to 500 telegrams failed to avert his death three minutes after the chair was strapped on. He spoke little, then whimpered, as family and a Catholic chaplain attended. Also included is a public notice appointing Donald M. Gose as administrator of Tony Trimble's estate in Middletown Ohio with four months to file claims.
