ANYTHING as TO her identity was about a

She was sent to Sing Sing in 1885, trans

Henrietta Robinson was known as the

veil during her trial for the murder Of
Timothy Lannigan and Catharine Luby,
by putting poison into their beer which
ahs had them drink in the grocery store OF
IAnniRan, on the corner Of Nanderheyden
and River streets in Troy. The crime was
committed o. May 25, 1883. Mrs Robinson
lived in cottage opposite the store. Why
she poisoned these two persons was never
clearly developed.
The trial was a celebrated one because
Of the mystery surrounding the prisoner
and the array Of legal talent. II was held
on Nov. %, 1884, at a court Of Oyer and
Terminer, presided over by judge 5ra
Harris and JustiOsy Bludick and NewbeTry.
