WARDEN WEYLER OPPOSES PENTITENTIARY EXECUTIONS
Warden John F Weyler of the Maryland Penitentiary opposes a bill designating the prison as the execution site and substituting electrocution for hanging. He warns it would disrupt discipline, affect long-term inmates, and notes many convicts are African American. He suggests a central site like the House of Correction or the Colored House of Reformation if executions are centralized.
