dbo:abstract
  • Andriza (or Andrew) Mircovich (Serbian: Андрија Мирковић / Andrija Mirković, c. 1879 – May 14, 1913) was an Austro-Hungarian national of Serb descent. He was the only prisoner ever to be executed by shooting in the US state of Nevada. He had been sentenced to death for the premeditated murder of John Gregovich in Tonopah, Nevada. Mircovich felt that he was owed more money from Gregovich's administration of his late cousin's estate and resorted to settling the matter by stabbing Gregovich to death. A 1911 statute was passed by the Nevada Legislature that allowed a death row inmate to opt to die by shooting or hanging; that statute was repealed in 1921. Mircovich was insistent on shooting, claiming that hanging often took too long. After the Nevada State Prison warden, George W. Cowing, was unable to find five men to form a firing squad, a shooting machine was requisitioned and built to carry out the execution. (en)
  • Andriza (ou Andrew) Mircovich (c. 1879 - 14 mai 1913) est un criminel austro-hongrois de descendance monténégrine. Il est le seul prisonnier à jamais avoir été exécuté par balles dans l'État du Nevada. Il avait été condamné à mort pour le meurtre prémédité de John Gregovich à Tonopah, Nevada. Mircovich pensait que Gregovich lui devait plus d'argent à la suite de la liquidation de la succession de son cousin, et décida de régler la question en poignardant Gregovich à mort. Un statut fut adopté en 1911 par l'assemblée législative du Nevada qui permis au condamné à mort de choisir de mourir par balle ou par pendaison ; cette loi a été annulée en 1921. Mircovich insista pour la mort par balle, affirmant que la pendaison prenait souvent trop de temps. Après que le directeur de la prison d'État du Nevada, George W. Cowing, n'a pas été capable de trouver les cinq hommes pour former un peloton d'exécution, une machine de tir automatique a été réquisitionnée et construite pour procéder à l'exécution. (fr)
