If I remember correctly from what I’ve learned about him is that the warden, Roy Best, gave him the trains, he was beloved by inmates and guards, the warden was said to have cared after him like he was his own son. He didn’t even understand he was being executed, asking that the remainder of his his bowl of ice cream(his last meal) be put in the fridge for when he gets back. He smiled as he entered the gas chamber and Best reportedly weeped during his execution, and pleaded with the governor to commute his sentence. He was Pardoned on January 7th, 2011, 72 years after he was wrongly executed.

He was posthumously pardoned… he was mentally disabled and gave a false confession after being tricked by the police… his story is absolutely heartbreaking.

The craziest part is another man was executed before him for the same crime.

Its pretty clear the courts had no idea who was guilty and were just executing everyone. May they all rot for enternity.
