Скачать или смотреть (1841, Hartford) The Tragic Wedding — The Mother-in-Law Who Poisoned the Bride

In 1841, the bells of Hartford tolled not for union, but for death. A young bride, barely seventeen, collapsed at her wedding feast after sipping a chalice of wine laced with arsenic. Behind the lace curtains and candlelit vows lurked her new mother-in-law—a woman determined that no outsider would ever claim her son.

The case shocked New England. Neighbors whispered of jealousy, greed, and an obsession with bloodlines. The bride’s body, buried hastily, showed signs of poisoning so potent that her lips turned black. In court, the mother-in-law denied all, yet rumors spread that she had long studied household poisons, hiding tinctures among her kitchen jars.

In this Gothic Ledger investigation, we exhume the forgotten Hartford wedding scandal—piecing together newspaper clippings, coroner’s reports, and family letters that reveal a crime of obsession dressed in the garments of matrimony.
