6th October

Two men died today in the electric chair in Florida in 1941. Their names were Frizzel and Willburn.

In other news ...
You don't mess with Basil II, Holy Roman Emperor. Today in 1014 he trounced the Bulgarian Army of Tsar Samuel and ordered that the prisoners should be blinded. Every hundredth man was to have one eye spared so that they could find their way back to the Tsar. Ah, the good old days.
