| Publisher Description: This is the true story of two Irish American families and a community rocked by the poisonings of spouses in a small Pennsylvania town in the 1850s. Accusations of a "strange familiarity" between the man and woman arrested had the townspeople in an uproar. The judge presiding over the trial of the woman condemned to hang questioned the jury's verdict. The man convicted of murder accused his secret enemies of using the cloak of the law to cover his innocence. |
