Cleveland actually bears the nickname “The Buffalo Hangman” because he personally performed multiple executions while serving as the sheriff of Erie County, New York in the 1870s. He was in his 30s at the time, and the first fateful event took place in September 1872 when a man named Patrick Morrissey was convicted of killing his mother.
And he was a fellow democrat.
He also spanked a young Abe Simpson on two non-consecutive occasions.
Who deserved it. Grover Cleveland, the last good Democrat.
