Someone needs to double-check me on this, but I believe that there was a famous murder case going on about the same time where another woman named Mary was on trial for having killed her lover because he jilted her. Laurie & Gene, This was a very interesting case; it is amazing that a temporary insanity plea, was used at the time, considering the defendant was a woman, and an Irish Immigrant. The trial took place before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia (sitting as a criminal court). http://www.nytimes.com/1865/07/09/news/t...-jury.html http://books.google.com/books?id=MJM8AAA...&q&f=false [font=Verdana][/font] |
