Three pieces on this notorious trial. "When Sarah Cornell was found hanging from the frame of a haystack in Tiverton, Rhode Island, it might easily have been called suicide but for a note she had left in her bandbox saying, 'If I should be missing, enquire of the Rev. Mr. Avery, of Bristol,- he will know where I am.' This was the beginning of the Reverend's troubles and one of the most famous nineteenth-century cases." McDade 33.
Sarah had been five months' pregnant, allegedly by Avery; a 27-day trial resulted in Avery's acquittal.
McDade 52, 34. II Harv. Law Cat 1008. Item #25563
