Walking limply, Lovett was assisted into the death chamber by a guard. A stubborn, set grimace was on his face as he walked to the chair. When asked if he had any final words, Lovett made no answer. Reading of a telegram from a sister and a niece in Oklahoma City failed to bring from him any sign of emotion. As he was being strapped in the chair, Lovett clenched his hands, but made no other movement. The current was turned on at 12:06 am and three minutes later he was pronounced dead."
