NOTE: The Espy File lists Shellie McKeithen, who was executed by Pennsylvania on January 7, 1946, as female of other race. McKeithen, however, was a black male. (See Commonwealth v. McKeithen, 353 Pa. 85, 44 A.2d 282 (Pa. 1945); The Daily Banner, January 7, 1946.) Other sources note that McKeithen has been erroneously listed as a female.
