FORT MADISON, Iowa (AP)  The next prisoner scheduled for execution by the federal government is getting far more attention than the last one  a convicted murderer who was quietly hanged 38 years ago in a state prison workshop. Timothy McVeigh, scheduled to die by injection on May 16 for bombing the federal building at Oklahoma City, will be the first federal prisoner executed since Victor Feguer went to the gallows in 1963 at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison.

Federal govt.'s last execution was in Iowa in 1963
