Famous Trials
GEORGE TWlrcHELL

One Of the most revolving murders
that occurred in the United States
was that of Mrs. Mary E. Hill, in
Philadelphia, in November, 1868, the
murderer being her son in law, George
S. TwitcheH. He was subsequently
tried and sentenced to be hanged on
April 8, 1852 but during the night
previous he committed suicide.
At the time of the murder, NOV. %
Mrs Hill resided at Tenth and Pine
Streets, Philadelphia, with her daugh
ter, Camille E. Twitchell; her son in
law, George S. Twitcheu and domes-
tic, Sarah Campbell. But little was
known of the family, as they kept
themselves quite aloof of their neigh
bors.
tn domestic had been away from
the house during a, portion of the eve
p, ming, and at the time of her departure
Mr.. and Mrs. TvitcheH started for a
acrriage ride. When the domestic re-
! turned she knocked at the door ard
was admitted by Mr. Twitchell, who
asked her if she knew where his moth
err had gone. TwitcheH made a feint
of searching the house and the servant
did likewise, the latter finding tht
, body of Mrs. Hill in the yard of the
home. Neighbors and an officer wer,
summond and suspicion pointed strong
ly against Twitchell. He was taken in
to custody.
On Nov. "a, an inquest was held, a
which it was brought out that Mrs
Hill owned the house and Twitchel
was trying to mortgage it. The inques
resulted in the coroner committin,
Twitchell and his wife to answer t,
the charge of murder, and they wer
