Legal Hanging
There were a few hangings in the Minot area in the very early days but Hans Thorpe will go down in history as the
only person to be legally hanged in Minot. Thorpe drifted into Minot in 1898
and was reported to be quite a handsome guy and quite a lady’s man. Shortly
after arriving in town he met and married a Minot girl…. Then his trouble
began. Thorpe and his wife got into a
terrible argument one evening at the dinner table. In her room, the house
keeper heard shots and when she ran into the dining room found Mrs. Thorpe dead
of gunshot wounds. She also found Thorpe lying in his own blood as he had then
turned the gun on himself. He did not do a very good job of shooting himself as
he recovered and had to face his trial for murder. He was found guilty and
sentenced to be hanged which happened on September 14, 1900. The gallows was
just east of Minot on Valley Street, (about at the intersection of Valker Road,
or at the bottom of the truck stop hill). Reports state that Thorpe was taken to Rosehill
Cemetary and placed in an unmarked grave…..
