about the same length of time. It is believed that she was executed.
 Ann Cole was indicted three times
 the two first charges being on January 6, and July 2, 1863. She was acquit-
 ted in both cases insofar as witch craft is concerned. Under the third
 indictment July 16, 1865, she was
 found guilty of witchcraft and was imprisoned for ten months. She was a neighbor of Mir. Greensmiths who lived on Wethersfeld avenue In Hart ford and about ten years later she married widower having eight chil- dren and after said marriage lived in the house which had been vacated by the Greensmiths. The foregoing ex- cautions of 1862 and were the last executions in Connecticut for the crime of witchcraft.
 Katherine Harrison, widow of John Harrison, a wealthy and respected former resident of Wethersfield, was tried for witchcraft in Oct. 1868, and acquitted. Tn May, 1869, she was again tried for the same offense and again acquitted, but in the autumn of the same year she was finally convicted and imprisoned. In May, 1870, general court ordered that several persons, then under confinement, be tried by the Court of Assistants. The finding as to one of the said prisoners was as follows:
 "The Special Court having consid- cred the verdict of the jury respecting Katherine Harrison cannot concur with them so as to sentence her to death or to longer continued re- straint but do dismiss her from her imprisonment, she paying her just fees, willing her minde for the fulfill ment of removing from Wethersfield which is that 1t will tend most to her own safety and the contentment of the people who are her neighbors. (Records of the Colony of Connecti- cut, Vol. II, P. 132O Mrs. Darlington removed to Westchester, N. Y, much to the displeaslre of its inhabitants.
 Although prosecutions in Connec- ticut for the crime of witchcrafti ceased during the latter part of the century, there were rumors of witches and strange man. ifestations during the first half of the eighteenth century. One of these cases was that of a young girl in Bristol by the name of Norton. She declared that she was bewitched by her aunt and who she said often put a bridle upon her and drove her the air to Albany where great witch meetings were held. Memorial History of Hartford County, Vol. H., F. 51.)
 For other cases of witchcraft in Connecticut the reader is referred to a chapter on that subject in "Connec- ticut as a Colony and State." Vol. 1, P. 205.
