       Jack Jones & Marcel Williams
       LITTLE ROCK-- Arkansas put to death a convicted killer on Monday
       night with plans to execute a second inmate the same night as
       officials moved to carry out multiple death sentences before the
       expiration of a key lethal-injection drug.
       Jack Harold Jones Jr., 52, was pronounced dead at 7:20 p.m.
       after federal and state courts denied a spate of last-minute
       appeals based on his health and the efficacy of the state’s
       three-drug protocol.
       The second prisoner, 46-year-old Marcel Wayne Williams, was
       slated to die at 8:15 p.m., but initially won a temporary stay
       of execution in federal court late Monday after his attorneys
       argued that Jones appeared to suffer and was “gulping for air.”
       Defense attorneys said the Jones execution “appeared to be
       tortuous and inhumane,” a claim that the Arkansas Attorney
       General’s office dismissed as “utterly baseless.”
       The Associated Press reported that the Jones execution went
       smoothly.
       “There were no apparent signs of complications during the
       execution,” the AP reported. “Jones was pronounced dead at 7:20
       p.m., about 14 minutes after the procedure began. His chest
       stopped moving two minutes after a consciousness check.”
