FOR “THE CHAIR”
REPRIEVED TEN TIMES Texas's “most reprieved” prisoner is awaiting death in the electric chair, but he is further from death now than he was several times last year. Juan Flores has received ten stays of execution by Governor Dan Moody. Twice the electric chair in the State Penitentiary has been rewired to receive the Mexican before the Governor issued a reprieve. Rewiring was necessary because Flores’s left leg is artificial. He was sentenced in connection with the killing of a 15-year-old hoy in San Antonio.
