Man Convicted in ’88 Death Executed
From Times Wire Reports
Adolph Gil Hernandez, who was convicted of fatally beating a 69-year-old woman with a baseball bat during a robbery, was executed by injection in Huntsville. Hernandez, 50, was the fourth condemned killer to be executed this year in Texas, where 40 executions were carried out last year.
Hernandez, who had an extensive criminal record, insisted he was not the man who bashed Elizabeth Alvarado eight times in the head with a bat and ran from her house with her purse containing $350 in September 1988.
