1897–2005 · THE STATE LIST, READ AT BOUNDARY
The checklist orders the execution list read first-hand and every county execution named, and at Walkerton's boundary size the article is short because the finding is an absence. Indiana's execution record, as the Department of Correction's list gives it and as this county's builds have read it, carries three names whose offenses were St. Joseph County's: Harry Jones, hanged on May 7, 1897; John Grzyb, electrocuted on April 10, 1928; and Alan Matheney, executed on September 28, 2005, for a Mishawaka offense. No execution on the list answers to a Walkerton or Lincoln Township offense, and no capital prosecution seated on this ground stands anywhere in the record swept for this build. The leg prints the three county names whole, as the checklist requires, and prints Walkerton's line as it stands: the town and township have no name on the state's list. The nearest the ground ever came to the question is the Pearish sentence of 1975 — three life terms, imposed in an era when Indiana's death penalty stood struck down and in rebuilding — and the Pittman felony-murder conviction of 1987, for which the State's own charge, as the opinion carries it, was murder answered by forty years, not a capital filing.
