Ruth Snyder was a Queens woman who murdered her husband with the help of her lover, Judd Gray, in March 1927. Their sensational murder trial started on April 18 and lasted 21 days. On May 10, 1927, The Times front page carried the overcome: "Mrs. Snyder and Gray Found Guilty in the First Degree in Swift Verdict; Both to Get Death Sentence Monday."

The case gained further infamy when Ruth Snyder was executed in Sing Sing Prison, Jan. 11, 1928. A New York Daily News photographer with a hidden camera strapped to his leg photographed Snyder dying in the electric chair. The shocking photo ran on the Daily News front page the next day.
