MRS. CILLlGAN
GUILTY; TO PAY
DEATH PENALTY
Is Sentenced to Be Hanged
In Wethersfield Prison
on Nov. 6.

Hartford, July 14-After five hours
consideration of evidence put forward
by the state, which charges Mrs. Amy
E. Archer-Gilligan with five murders,
the jury last evening brought in a
first degree verdict against the wom-
an for the death of Franklin r. An
drews. The jury returned with the
verdict at sos p. m, and 16 minutes
later she was sentenced by Judge
Gardiner Greene to be hanged in the
Wethersfeld prison, six miles south
of this city, Nov. 6.
The state began her trial June 18,
charging her with the murder of five
persons, one of them her husband.
But the woman's attorney. made a
successful fight to have the state re-
stricted to proving murder in sin
gle case, and that of the sudden, vio-
lent death by arsenic poisoning of
Andrews was selected. She still
stands indicted for the murder Of the
other four-two men and two wom-
en-.
The state pictured the woman at
the trial as nothing short of a fiend,
a wholesale poisoner for money-gain
of aged. i'll, feeble and mentally weak
persons given over to her care at what
was known as the Archer Home at
Windsor, Conn.
The states attorney declared there
had been forty deaths under peculiar
circumstances at the Archer institu-
ton, many of whose inmates entered
on a life contract-the payment. of q
lump sum for which they were to be
harbored for the remainder of their
lives
Besides Andrews, the state caused
