About this Item

12pp. Disbound, untrimmed, foxed. Good+. "Green, twenty-two years old, met his wife, Mary Ann Wyatt, eighteen years old, during some temperance lectures. They had been married less than a week when he poisoned her with arsenic at Berlin, New York. The crime seems to have been induced by his mother's disapproval of his wife" [McDade]. Green makes his confession to Reverend Van Kleeck; he urges other "young men to lead a Christian life." Sentencing him to death, Judge Parker expresses astonishment: "Was it ever known that so interesting and holy a relation as that of man and wife, has been followed thus soon by a result so shocking and painful to all the feelings of our nature?"
