Bishop Put to Death by State Dale Bishop was executed at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman for his role in the 1998 claw hammer killing of Marcus James Gentry near Saltillo. Mississippi Corrections spokeswoman Tara Booth says Bishop died by lethal injection at 6:14 pm Wednesday. Bishop had hoped the US Supreme Court or Mississippi's governor might spare him, but both denied his requests to set aside the execution. Bishop's attorneys said his life should have been spared because he did not swing the hammer that killed Gentry.
	Amory Man Dies after Monday Night Fire A man died Wednesday afternoon at a Georgia burn center two days after being burned in a restaurant fire in Amory. It's a fire police say he accidentally started. Authorities say the explosion occurred after 57-year-old Robert H. Davis of Amory broke into the Gilleylen Dairy Bar restaurant late Monday night and allegedly tried to cook something but in the process set the business on fire. Davis then ran more than eight blocks to his house and jumped in the shower to put out the fire. Emergency responders took Davis to a burn center in Atlanta where he died. Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley says Davis died from third degree burns which covered 95 percent of his body.
