Betty Evelyn Butler was 26 years old when she died in the electric chair. Butler had been found guilty of murdering Evelyn Clark, a woman with whom she and her two children, a daughter, Quo Vadi s and son, Donald, had been living.Clarke had offered to pay Butler and her children to live with her in exchange for sex, an offer Butler accepted being as she was destitute. The couple apparently had numerous domestic disputes, up to and including the murder, when Butler beat Clarke unconscious then drowned her in a lake. According to Butler, she had defended herself against Clarke’s “unwanted advances,” while other testimony suggested that Betty was bisexual and murdered Clarke in a rage over her attentions to another woman.On the 12th June 1954, Betty Butler became the last woman to be executed in Ohio by electrocution.
