Shakespeare purported that we “…are made of sterner stuff.”  In this, story, two men were forced, by circumstances, to prove just that.  The first hanging in Washington State happened in 1892 in Cowlitz County.  The man that was executed for murder was Robert Day, a farmer near the Lewis River.  The victim was Clint Beebe, a local logger.
