WOLTER ELECTROCUTED
Convicted Of Murder, Went to Chair
Protesting Innocence.

Albert w. Wolter was put to death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison for the murder of 15-year old
Ruth Wheeler nearly two years ago.
The girl came to VOTERS fiat in
New York in search of employment
and he killed her after she had been
mistreated. Wolter left a statement
with Warden Kennedy denying that
he had committed the crime.
The execution was without fea-
ture and Wolter was declared dead
after one contact OF 1850 volts.
The state electrician said that
Wolter showed less resistance to the
electric current than any murderer
put TO death by electricity at Sing
Sing prison.
The murderer spent his last night
quietly, resting only part of the time.
Wolter wrote his denial on single
sheet, and so even and clear were
the letters formed that the writing
had the appearance OF copper plate.
