Abstract
The following pages contain the report of one of the most extraordinary murders ever committed in New England. No trial since the celebrated trial of the Rev. Eprahim K. Avery for the murder of Miss Cornell has created such extreme interest or produced such intense excitement in this State as the present. With all the Incidental Questions raised in the Trial carefully preserved—the Testimony of the Witnesses nearly verbatim—and the Arguments of Counsel and a Correct Plat of all the Localities described in the Testimony, prepared expressly for this Report.
