Samuel Watters hanged in Norfolk Virginia for murder

Samuel Watters, a negro, was hanged today in Norfolk Virginia after being convicted January 19 for the murder of an unknown white man found with his common law wife Mayme Harris. Mayme Harris was acquitted and later jailed at Newport News for another offense. Watters maintained innocence and claimed Mayme Harris struck the fatal blow. The execution drew spectators including Rev. H. Benmodhe, who became trapped attempting to leave as the trap was sprung. Watters displayed nerve on the scaffold as his neck was broken.
