The execution was ordered to be carried out by hanging between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 1782 in Easton, Pa. The minutes of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania published in the Colonial records of Pennsylvania, shed little light on the affair. The day before the execution, Charles Werkheiser petitioned the council for a stay of execution. The stay was dismissed and the hanging occurred the following day. It is not known whether he was hanged in the circle at Easton near the court house, or on Gallows Hill.
