He also directed the Milwaukee Handicraft Program sponsored by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Thomas made his first visit to the South in 1941 and never left. In 1942 he became chair of the art department of the College for Women, University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Soon after, he relocated to Decatur, Georgia, to teach at Agnes Scott College.

Thomas Howard, Execution of Ruth Snyder, 1928
Est: $800 - $1,000
Thomas Howard, Execution of Ruth Snyder, 1928, Gelatin silver print, 10" x 8". Matted. Typed captions affixed to verso. Date stamp on verso. Ruth Brown Snyder (March 27, 1895 – January 12, 1928) was an American murderer. Her execution in the electric chair at New York's Sing Sing Prison in 1928 for the murder of her husband, Albert Snyder, was recorded in a well-publicized photograph. Ruth Brown Snyder was a housewife from Queens, a borough of New York City, who began an affair with Henry Judd Gray, a married corset salesman, in 1925. She began to plan the murder of her husband Albert, enlisting Gray's help, though he appeared to be very reluctant. Ruth's distaste for her husband apparently began when he insisted on hanging a picture of his late fiancee Jessie Guischard on the wall of their first home, and named his boat after her. Guischard, whom Albert described to Ruth as "the finest woman I have ever met," had been dead for ten years. Ruth first persuaded Albert to purchase insurance, and, with the assistance of an insurance agent (who was subsequently fired and sent to prison for forgery) "signed" a $48,000 life insurance policy that paid extra if an unexpected act of violence killed the victim. According to Gray, Ruth had made at least seven attempts to kill Albert, all of which he survived. On March 20, 1927, the couple garrotted Albert and stuffed his nose full of chloroform-soaked rags, then staged his death as part of a burglary. Detectives at the scene noted that the burglar left little evidence of breaking into the house. Moreover, Ruth's behavior was inconsistent with her story of a terrorized wife's witnessing her husband being killed. Police discovered that the property Ruth had claimed had been stolen was still in the house, but hidden. A breakthrough came when a detective found a paper with the letters "J.G." on it (it was a memento Albert had kept from former lover Guischard), and asked Ruth about it. A flustered Ruth's mind immediately turned to Gray, whose initials were also "J.G.," and she asked the detective what Gray had to do with the murder. It was the first time Gray had been mentioned, and the police instantly became suspicious. Gray was found upstate in Syracuse. He claimed he had been there all night, but it was eventually found out a friend of his had set up Gray's room at a hotel to support his alibi. Gray proved far more forthcoming than Ruth about his actions. He was caught and returned to Queens and charged along with Ruth. Dorothy Parker told Oscar Levant that Gray tried to escape the police by taking a taxi from Long Island to Manhattan, which Levant noted was "quite a long trip." According to Parker, in order "not to attract attention, he gave the driver a ten-cent tip." Ruth and Gray turned on each other, contending the other was responsible for killing Albert; both were convicted and sentenced to death. Ruth was imprisoned at Sing Sing in Ossining, New York, located thirty miles north of New York City. On January 12, 1928, she became the first woman to be executed at Sing Sing since Martha Place in 1899. She went to the electric chair ten minutes before Judd Gray, her former lover. Her execution (by New York State Electrician Robert G. Elliott) was caught on film, at the moment electricity was running through her body, with the aid of a miniature plate camera strapped to the ankle of Tom Howard, a Chicago Tribune photographer working in cooperation with the Tribune-owned Daily News. Howard's camera was later owned by inventor Miller Reese Hutchison[7] and later became part of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. Ruth was interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. Her footstone simply reads "May R." with her date of death. (Wikipedia)
