Woman Calmly Faces California Gas Chamber Death
Barbara Graham died in San Quentin's gas chamber after brief stays by the governor and courts. Convicted of six slayings, she was third woman executed in California, in a plot to recover hidden money that yielded nothing. Jack Santo and Emmett Perkins, executed with her, had murdered in 1952 and 1953, torturing victims and seeking a $100,000 haul. The delay stretched to moments before the 10:42 am threats, with Graham asking why she was being tortured as officials denied new evidence and stayed the sentence.
