Born in 1896, Sue Logue was a teacher and farmer’s wife who lived in South Carolina.Logue’s husband, Wallace, was killed by a neighbour, Davis Timmerman, after an argument they had involving money. Sue wanted revenge for the death of her husband and arranged for an acquaintance named Clarence Bagwell to kill Timmerman. Unfortunately for her, Bagwell wasn’t able to keep quiet about his involvement in the murder and told the story to a third party. When the police heard what had happened they went to arrest Logue. Initially she refused to give herself up, until the local judge, Strom Thurmond arrived. He entered her house unarmed and persuaded her to hand herself in.Logue was executed in the Electric Chair on the 15th January 1943.Bagwell was also sentenced to death for his part in the crime.
