Wife Murderer Electrocuted
Dannemora, N.Y., Aug. 11. – Frank C. Conroy, the Ogdensburg wife murderer, was executed by electricity at Clinton prison yesterday. Conroy was pronounced dead four and a half minutes after the first shock. He met his fate calmly. On the morning of May 20, 1896, Frank Conroy returned to his home in Ogdensburg from Montreal. Walking into the house, he accused his wife of unfaithfulness. Angered at her denials, he snatched up a carving knife and hacked her head and throat until she was dead.
