John Joseph "Jack" Geoghan (left ) (June 4, 1935 – August 23, 2003)
was an American serial child rapist and Catholic priest assigned to parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston in Massachusetts. He was reassigned to several parish posts involving interaction with
children, even after receiving treatment for pedophilia.

Geoghan was convicted of sexual abuse, laicized, and sentenced in
2002 to nine to ten years in Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center,
a maximum security prison.

Less than a year later, he was murdered there by Joseph Druce

At Auburn Prison in New York, the first execution by electrocution
in history is carried out against William Kemmler, who had been convicted of murdering his lover, Matilda Ziegler, with an axe.

Electrocution as a humane means of execution was first suggested
in 1881 by Dr. Albert Southwick, a dentist.
