West Trenton, New Jersey - NJ State Museum

Fate of the late Joe Baranyi's collection at the Capital Punishment Museum, Trenton, NJ: According to a NJ Dept. of Corrections official, "Joe's collection was sent to the NJ State Museum. The electric chair went too, and then the State Police Museum in West Trenton got it from the State Museum. The State-ies wanted The Chair for years, as the Lindbergh Kidnapping Case was one of the biggest in the history of the NJ State Police, and their museum has a theme exhibit on the case. Old Joe, bless him, would not part with The Chair, and he had enough juice in the Department to get his way." [anon., 08/26/1997]

[RA: The chair is now at the NJ State Police Museum.]
