First legal execution in Posey County Mt Vernon
Mt Vernon Indiana hosted the January hanging of Anderson and Snyder after a crowded eventful day. Saloons were closed by proclamation, and a police detail kept the crowd back while ministers presided over prayers before the execution. Both prisoners offered brief prayers, were strapped, and the drop occurred at 11 46 with Anderson dying quickly and Snyder showing no life. Bodies were viewed by a large audience before being moved to Wesingers and then Belleville for parental homes. An extreme cold snap in New Brunswick was noted as season’s event.
