J.T. Harris Sentenced to Electric Chair, Nov. 26, 1920

J.T. Harris, the Ridge Crest merchant who killed F.W. Monnish of Tuscaloosa, Ala., at Ridge Crest on September 3, was sentenced in Buncombe superior court yesterday to die in the electric chair on Friday morning, January 28. The jury did not believe the defendant’s story, evidently regarding him as a surly individual who had no respect for other people. (From the editorial page of the Hickory Daily Record, Nov. 26, 1920)
