ONTARIO WOMAN NOT GUILTY OF POISONING HER HUSBAND - CLIMAX OF LONG TRIAL
CAYUGA, Ontario, Canada - April 22nd, 1907 - The Perkins jury brought in a verdict of not quilty at 11 p.m. after four and a half hours. It was very different when Mrs. Sternaman was acquitted. On that occasion the late Justice Armour was the trial judge. The crowd broke into loud cheering which could not be quelled by the court officers. His lordship gave Mrs. Perkins very sound advice, stating that she and her Maker alone knew the true facts. He hoped that the verdict was true indeed. After a few other remarks he then discharged her.
Mrs. Henry Perkins husband died Christmas day under circumstances that suggested poisoning and the widow was arrested for the deed.
