Execution of Ira Stout in Rochester
Ira Stout, convicted of murdering his brother in law, was executed in Rochester. At 2:15 pm deputies and a military escort completed the process, with Stout displaying firm composure and delivering a dying man's remark. The scene included a prayer, a final blessing, and a lengthy postmortem note on the petition for clemency. Governor King was reportedly considering the petition as Stout’s mother sought news in Albany.
