Pritchett Dies In Chair For Slaying
Fred S. Pritchett, 41, died in the electric chair after failed Supreme Court stays. Convicted in January 1950 for the fatal shooting of Clyde L. King at Eckington Yards in Washington in July 1949, witnesses said a quarrel over escorting Mrs. King prompted the killing. Attorneys sought a stay, but Chief Justice Vinson and Associate Justice Minton declined. Truman offered clemency efforts were also unsuccessful. Pritchett awaited death in DC jail, passing up a special breakfast in favor of jail fare.
