Summary edit
| Description |
English: On December 25, 1903, Frank Rose (upper left) of Salt Lake City shot his wife in the head, claiming that she had agreed it was the appropriate punishment for her infidelity. He then placed their 3-year-old son Elmer (upper right) in her arms, and left on a two-day drinking binge, after which he turned himself in to police.
Rose said that he did not want to commit suicide, but would rather be executed. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, and then offered the choice of being hanged or shot. He chose to be shot. On April 22, 1904, Frank Rose was executed by firing squad in the Salt Lake City prison yard (below). Elmer Rose was remanded to an orphanage on the city's east side. |
