Two Hangings In Jefferson County Jail Yard
Frank Miller and Alonzo Williams were executed in the Jefferson county jail yard in Birmingham Alabama. Miller, condemned for the March 1900 murder of Policeman J W Adams, faced a crowd of about 300 as he maintained innocence and urged that Duncan also be spared. Williams, serving a life term for the Pratt mines murder of Bob Callahan, died amid a religious frenzy after stabbing a fellow convict.
