August 14, 1936 — the last public hanging in the United States.

Not every case is famous. The public record still matters.

Eva Dugan (1878–1930) was convicted of the 1927 murder of her employer, A.J. Mathis, in Pinal County, Arizona. She was sentenced to death and hanged at the Arizona State Prison in Florence on February 21, 1930 — the only woman executed by hanging in Arizona history. The botched execution led the state to abandon hanging for the gas chamber.
