Joan's article in the
Courier was wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
I own a copy of the original trial transcript, circa 1859. It is one of the raciest things for the times I've ever read, and the Victorian euphemisms for adulty are hilarious. I collect things pertaining to the trial and also own several newspapers,
Harpers, Leslies, etc.
Here's a link for the trial transcript. It's free on Google. You can also download the PDF which is best because it reads on most formats.
