Colonial period

The following persons were executed under British rule (1763–1783):

Hanging (1822–1923)

In 1822, the Legislative Council declared murder, rape, and arson to be capital crimes. During this period, executions were carried out by hanging locally in the county where the defendants were convicted. From 1847 to 1872, executions were required to be public, but were mostly moved to jail facilities afterwards. County sheriffs were also required to act as executioners. [6]

Electrocution (1924–1972)

In 1923, the state legislature passed a new law, written by Fred H. Davis, [291] switching the official execution method from hanging to electrocution. This new method required executions to be moved from local jails to a permanent execution chamber in state prison facilities. [292] Despite an early challenge in July 1929 by the circuit court of Union County over the prison superintendent being named a secondary executioner (as he was not elected or appointed), the electrocution law was held up by the state supreme court in November 1930. [293] Sheriffs were still required to perform as primary executioners during this period until 1941, when a new law designated the state prison's first assistant engineer as the executioner. [6]

Although hanging had been abolished as an execution method, two more executions by hanging would occur during this period:
