The execution of Teresa Lewis by the Commonwealth of Virginia -- the second 
woman to be executed by the state --  will take place this month barring 
intervention by the courts or the governor. This prompted LVA archivist Roger 
Christman to look back at the case of Virginia Christian the first woman 
executed by the state in 1912. Christman’s entry in this week’s Out of the Box 
blog presents 51 documents from the archives that tell the story from several 
different perspectives. http://www.virginiamemory.com/blogs/out_of_the_box/
