From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Getter's Island previously known as Abel's Island is a small island in the Delaware River in Easton Pennsylvania in the United States. It is best known as the location of the execution of Charles Getter the last person to be publicly executed in Pennsylvania. History edit Execution of Charles Getter edit The island is named after Charles Getter a farm hand who was hanged on the island in 1833 for the murder of Margaret Lawall a woman he married to avoid prosecution for impregnating her outside of wedlock. Getter's execution was initially scheduled to take place at Center Square in Easton but it was moved to the island - then known as Abel's Island - to accommodate the crowds.<br /> An estimated 15000 to 20000 people some of whom traveled hundreds of miles gathered in the town to view the execution. 12 An initial attempt to hang him failed forcing a second attempt which resulted in his death. A reporter who witnessed the scene was horrified at how little the crowd was affected by the execution and called on lawmakers to take action. 2 Governor George Wolf agreed with the reporter and signed a law banning public execution on April 10 1834. As a result Getter was the last person in Pennsylvania to be publicly executed. 2. Printed at Alexander's General Printing Office hardcover
