be hanged for "felony and burglary," becoming the first
person executed in Frederick County. He was hanged
the day he was sentenced, which was the day after his
arrest.
On December 13, 1939, Challedon was named "Horse of
The Year" after winning $184,353 for Glade Valley Farms
near Walkersville during the year.
