The Chair

This is the story of the first electric chair execution. It followed the rivalry of Edison and Westinghouse to provide electricity to America. Edison volunteered his rival's system to power the first-ever electric chair, ensuring Westinghouse would field the negative publicity. The Chair has since become the symbol of America's death penalty, including the debate over how to execute the condemned.
