Hello path:

Sure, but you'll have to visit the NY State Archives in Albany. Here's what they say they've got:

These volumes contain summary information on inmates who were sentenced to be executed. They include inmate name, sentencing information, place of birth, age, occupation, marital status, physical description, and information on family and background.

B0145. Case files of inmates sentenced to electrocution, 1939-1963. R 15 cu. ft.

These files contain a significant number of records relating to each inmate sentenced to death at Sing Sing. Among other records these files include: warrant of execution; investigation report; notice of appeal; correspondence relating to the inmate; record of past offenses; Sing Sing admission form; receiving blotter; medical examination report; psychologist report; certification of execution; and a post-mortem report.

B1244. Log of actions relating to inmates scheduled for execution, 1915-1967. R .4 cu. ft. (2 volumes)

This log tracks events relating to inmates scheduled for execution at Sing Sing. The volume provides name and inmate number, date received, county of sentencing, the week the execution was scheduled, name and address of family, and name of attorney.
