AMERICAN EXECUTIONS
WHITE WOMAN HANGED.
SAME FATE’ FOR SON.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) New York, June 7.
Two grim executions of murderers occurred in the United States to-day. The first was the electrocution of two brothers and their companion who were responsible for the Needham (Massachusetts) bank robbery, in which a policeman was killed and three others were injured. A mother and her son were hanged in Delaware for the murder seven years ago of the woman’s brother for 2000 dollars insurance. She was- the first white woman hanged in the United States. Another son was sentenced to life imprisonment for the same crime.
