Noted Case Of Hanging Near Close
Washington Jan 25 The strange case of Will Purvis the man who was hanged but who outlived the jurors who condemned him neared its close here. All connected with the case are dead but the hangman 81 year old J O McGee who is ill. Purvis was convicted of murder forty five years ago and proclaimed his innocence in court. The noose slipped when he was hanged and he survived the trap. The case led to commutation to life and later a juror died. Purvis died four days after the last juror. Sheriff McGee moved to Washington in 1926 and lived quietly. His son Rex recalled the bare knuckle fight between Sullivan and Kilrain. McGee said he did not stop it, but he did not want to outline Will Purvis either.
