dbo:abstract
  • Anthony "Tony" Chebatoris (May 10, 1898 – July 8, 1938) was a Russian-born bank robber and convicted murderer who is the only person to be executed in the U.S. state of Michigan since it gained statehood in 1837. Although Michigan abolished the death penalty for murder in 1847, Chebatoris was tried under the new Federal Bank Robbery Act of 1934, which made bank robbery and its related offenses federal crimes, beyond state jurisdiction. With another new federal law requiring Chebatoris's execution to take place in Michigan, governor Frank Murphy, citing Michigan's longstanding "civilized record" of not inflicting capital punishment, petitioned President Franklin D. Roosevelt to commute Chebatoris's sentence to life in prison. With no legal basis to do so, Roosevelt refused, and Chebatoris was subsequently hanged at Federal Correctional Institution, Milan, a federal prison near Milan, Michigan. (en)
