Nevada was the first US state to use the gas chamber, followed by 8 other states, Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Wyoming and California.

Originally designed with 2 chairs for double executions, one of the most memorable was the 'double header' of kidnapper and murderer Bonnie Heady and Carl Austin Hall in Missouri's death chamber. As they were being strapped into the chairs she requested the straps on Hall's chair be kept loose. She had to make sure he had plenty of room. His reply, 'Yes, Mama'.

How did the first gas chamber come about?

I don't know but it was a very agonizingly painful, disturbing, and stupid time. ---------------------------------------- Strictly speaking the first gas chamber would be the room that the first test were conducted in: In the basement of Block 11 (Auschwitz) there were 'suffocation cells' where there were only very small gaps to allow a minimal amount of air in, (so as to prolong the suffocation) one of these cells was adapted to allow no air to enter. Of course there were problems with this. So the mortuary in the crematorium was thence used as a gas chamber.
