A Double Execution.
Mrs. Isabelle Marsh and VIM. c. Bur
Zeli OF NorthheId Sentenced to Is,
Hanged Feb. 3, 1890.

Hanged Feb. B. 1890.
In the supreme court at Montpelier
Wednesday the indictment in the case of
the State vs.. Mildred Brewster was declared
valid and she will be tried at the coming
term of the Washington county court
The decision was read by Chief Judge
Ross. Exceptions were taken to the in
dictment because stenographer was in
the grand jury room.
The exceptions in the cases of Isabelle
A. Marsh and William c. Buzzell were not
sustained and both were sentenced to be
hanged Friday, Feb B. 1899, between the
hours of ? and in the afternoon.
On Mrs. Marsh being asked if she had
anything to say why the sentence of death
should not be imposed, she replied in a
firm voice, al am not guilty When the
sentence of death was announced, she eX-
pressed no outward emotion, was deathly
pale and involuntarily clutched the railing
in front of her, but no tear came into her
eyes.
Buzzell, who is deaf, stood three feet
from the court while the sentence was
read. Asked if he had anything to say,
he replied, ~ have not received justice;
should have a new trial.
The mysterious death of George Marsh
of Mortified, hard working farmer, and
the investigation which followed, have
brought Mrs. Marsh and William Buzzell
her paramour, within the shadow of the
gallows. Marsh died Jan. 20, 1896, after a
painful, agonizing death, and under pecul'
lar circumstances. The disinterment Of
his body and examination by expert:
showed poisoning. The testimony showed
the disgusting sensuaity of Mrs. Marst
and the immortality of her relations with
Buzzell, even while her husband was expir
ing in agony
