Murderer Who Talked Himself To Electric Chair Dies
Cecil W. Yankey, 42, of Highland County, was executed in the Ohio Penitentiary death chamber after proclaiming his innocence to the end. He had been condemned for the 1947 robbery slaying of Leroy Woodland, 71, at Greenfield, and his appeals to higher courts failed. Yankey's last words protested a unfair trial as he received fried chicken, potatoes, salad, rolls, pie, coffee, and smoked nearly a pack of cigarettes before death at 7:57 p.m.
