| Abstract | "On Thursday morning, November 14, 1850, the High Sheriff of Cumberland County, North Carolina brought a beautiful young woman before the Superior Court. Her devoted mother stood by her side as a jury was selected to serve in what would be the first murder trial of a woman in Cumberland County, North Carolina. Twelve men, most of whom were farmers or common laborers, would decide the fate of a wife who was accused of killing her prosperous, older husband."--Introduction. |
