© The Chickasha Daily Express Chickasha, Oklahoma Friday, September 25, 1931 Henry Walter Lovett LOVETT DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Shows No Sign of Emotion and Refuses to Talk As Led to Death Chamber McAlester, Oklahoma, September 25, (AP) Showing no sign of emotion, and without breaking the silence that he had maintained for several days, Henry Lovett, 38-year-old farmer, was put to death in the state penitentiary early today for the killing of Dee Foliart, El Reno high school coach, during a bank robbery last November. Walking limply, Lovett was assisted into the death chamber by a guard. A stubborn, set grimace was on his face as he walked to the chair. When asked if he had any final words, Lovett made no answer. Reading of a telegram from a sister and a niece in Oklahoma City failed to bring from him any sign of emotion. As he was being strapped in the chair, Lovett clenched his hands, but made no other movement. The current was turned on at 12:06 am and three minutes later he was pronounced dead." "Lovett Services To Be Conducted Sunday Afternoon Last rites for Henry Lovett, age 42, who paid the supreme penalty for murder when he went to his death in the electric chair at the state penitentiary in McAlester shortly after midnight Thursday, are to be conducted from the Hawkins cemetery southeast of the city Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services are to be conducted by Rev. H.P. Haley, assisted by Rev. H.E. Cook.

He is survived by his widow, two sons, his father, John Lovett, of Grady county, four brother, Frank of Oklahoma City, Barney, Alvia and Elmer of Chickasha and a sister, Mamie Lovett of Oklahoma City.
