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.
