From every corner OF the state the
protests of the women are being voiced
in the form OF publicly circulated petit

had killed her infant child. She was
executed after she had ridden a mile
to the scaffold seated on her coffin and
crying aloud to be saved. But since
Connecticut became a state only one
woman has been legally put to death
