Choctaw Execution Story of William Goings
A Choctaw court sentenced William Goings to death for murder and a federal stay delayed the firing. Sheriff Wat son prepared the execution at Alikehi South McAlester while Goings proclaimed innocence. The bullet failed to pierce the heart after an extended struggle, and the crowd witnessed a grim, unresolved death proceeding. A separate Vinita anecdote reports Tulsa boys offering help to a lady with meat and a judge solving a jealous-husband worry.
