Side of Campus) Ph. 696-1726 executed in the United States — 6,600 more than criminal justice experts have' always believed. Watt Espy, who has been re searching legal executions dur ing the past 11 years as part of the Capital Punishment Re search Project at the university law school, said he expects the total to reach 20,000 before he finishes his work. The university released Espy’s findings during the weekend. Before Espy began his pro ject, it was believed that about 7,000 people had been legally executed in this country. Espy, doing the research “so that human beings legally put to death in America are at least given names,” only includes ex ecutions carried out under court order in his study. He does not list lynchings or military execu tions. He averages confirming about three previously unre corded executions each day. Espy usually begins with a list of executions from a state or county agency or old newspaper clippings. He collects additional information from local or coun ty historians, court records, law or other libraries, or old news papers. “I record the available de mographic information relating to the executed person,” Espy said. “Often the details are sketchy, especially when the per son executed was a slave or in the colonial era. “In this case, we often have the slave’s dollar value at the time, but not the person’s age. We attempt to get all the infor mation we can, though,” he said. Espy’s chronicle of legal ex ecutions begins with the 1622 hanging of Daniel Frank in Jamestown, Va., for the theft of a hog and cow, and runs through 1982. One entry is on the June 13, 1893, hangings of four black men — Buck Brooks, Moses Brown, Frisbie Comegys and Fletcher Williams — in Chester- town, Md., for the murder of a Dr. James Hill. An account of the hangings in the Columbus, Ga., Enquirer Sun noted that a struggling Comegys was conscious at least five minutes and that Brooks’ “determined efforts to get the handcuffs off pleased the crowd greatly.” Musicians!!
