#BotchedExecutions | Roxalana Druse, The Last Woman Hanged In New York
In 1887, Roxalana Druse became the last woman New York ever hanged, on a secondhand gallows that used a falling 213-pound weight to jerk her into the air. Her neck didn’t break, and fifteen minutes passed before the doctors pronounced her dead.
