Grab the nearest book.
Open the book to page 23.
Find the fifth sentence.

I don't ordinarily do this but it is interesting:
"Some of the wood from the 1916 electric chair had been salvaged from Tennessee's old gallows and used to construct its replacement when hanging went out of fashion."

Its from the "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" by Sharyn McCrumb the Sarnia Library's Book Club pick for December.
Which is a mystery novel. I just love fiction authors who do research.
