Marie Kappen Porter was executed in the electric chair after hiring a hit man to kill her brother, William Kappen on the morning of his wedding day, so she still would be the beneficiary of his life insurance, as her Candy Store was going under...
She weighed 250 lbs, a Prison Tailor made a specially tailored denim overall, to allow easier attachment of straps & electrodes, than a dress would permit.
She went to the chair 10 minutes after her 22 year old hit man boyfriend, Angelo Giancola.
