As the time for Stephen’s execution drew near, Sheriff
Woodworth prepared for the public spectacle. He planned
for the “comfort and entertainment of the expected crowd
of spectators at the execution…Woodworth ordered
wooden grandstands erected on three sides of the scaffolding, uniformed militia to be deployed around the
scaffolding as a guard of honor, a military band to serenade the crowd while it waited for the main event, and
vendors to patrol the grounds hawking food, whiskey, and
rum.” “The North-Western Journal estimated that the
crowd gathered around the scaffold on [the morning of the
execution] exceeded two thousand.”
Though the execution itself went off without a hitch,
some of the spectators found the whole event disturbing
and it was the last execution to take place in the state of
Michigan.
