A federal court has ordered a stay, but an appeal has been filed. If the

appeal is upheld, Berry would be transferred Monday (today) or early Tuesday

from a prison hospital in Columbus Ohio to the Southern Ohio Correctional

Facility in Lucasville Ohio.

The execution is set for 9 pm Tuesday.

There are two cells in the Death House, which is in the middle of the prison

yard at the maximum-security prison. Each cell has a bed, table, chair,

toilet, and sink. There's a Bible on the table, along with a tooth brush,

tooth paste, and soap.

Wilford will receive his last meal about six hours before the execution.

An execution team of at least 10 members is in charge of security in the Death

House. The lethal injection table is in front of two witness rooms, which are

divided by opaque glass.

Witnesses are limited to three chosen by the victim's family and three

Picked by Wilford. The condemned would be able to see the witnesses but not

speak to them.

Wilford has chosen his mother, Jennie Franklin, his older sister Elaine

Quigley, and Cynthia Yost, an assistant public defender he likes.

The family of the victim, Charles Mitroff has chosen Charles Vorhees, the

Kentucky police office who arrested Wilford, Duane Rolfsen who got Wilfords

confession, and William Florio, a Cleveland area private investigator,

who was hired by the family to probe Mr. Mitroff's disappearance from his bakery.

A small group of reporters would watch.

At about 8:45, Wilford would be moved from his cell in the Death House to

The execution chamber, a distance of no more than 25 paces. The walls are

Tranquil beige, the floor is tiled, and a red telephone is the open line to the

governor in case of a last minute stay of execution.

Wilford would be placed on the lethal injection bed, which is next to the

electric chair, and strapped down on his back.

A separate five member IV team of medically trained prison employees

Would insert needles in each of Wilford's arms, and a saline solution would be

started. The final call would be made to the warden's office to check for a

reprieve, then the warden would nod to the execution team members. They

control the flow of lethal chemicals from an adjacent room.

Three drugs then would be administered, sodium pentothal, pancurium

Bromide and potassium chloride.

Sodium pentothal is a sedative, pancurium bromide halts a person's breathing,

and potassium chloride stops the heart.

The process, from the time the condemned enters the death chamber until he is

pronounced dead is expected to take about 30 minutes.

After the execution, Warden Stephen Huffman would read Wilford's final

statement if it;s not regarded as inflammatory or derogatory. Otherwise the

statement drafted in advance would be available to the witness and the media

in written form, Said Rhonda Millhouse, assistant to the warden.
