On This Date in Minnesota History: July 19

July 19, 1889 - Albert Bulow was hanged at gallows constructed near the Morrison County Courthouse on this date, thus being the only person in Morrison County to have been legally executed.1

Caught in Verndale with Frank Eich’s horses and wagon, Burow confessed to shooting Eich of Buckman, Minn., in the neck on Nov. 24, 1888.1 Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. offered his legal services, but Burrow declined.2 During his March 1889 trial, Bulow pled guilty and was sentenced by Judge D. B. Searle to be hanged.1
