Charles Justice

In 1898, Columbus prison inmate Charles Justice helped build and install Ohio's only electric chair.

Justice finished his sentence and returned to society, but irony caught up with him. Thirteen years later he was back in prison, and on Nov. 9, 1911, he was executed in the same electric chair he had helped to build.
