trial

Typo in caption, Angel s/b Angle. Mrs. Helen M. Angle was on trial in March, 1915, for manslaughter in the death of her friend Waldo R. Ballou in Stamford, Connecticut in June, 1914. Helen was divorced from her husband of twelve years, Frank W. Angle. Her father was Leonard Blondell, a wealthy former Stamford Councilman who was retired from the coal and road contracting business Waldo Ballou was was a friend of her fathers, and a leading Republican politician and Stamford business man. Helen met Waldo in 1911 after his wife died. Waldo proposed to Helen several times, but she said he was too old. He was 69, she was 40. Mrs Angle took the stand in her own defense, and told her version of what happened on the night of June 23, 1914. More than 500 people were turned away from the packed courtroom. After a twelve day trial the jury deliberated for one hour and forty-five minutes before returning a verdict of not guilty, after three ballots. Judge William H. Williams presided. Eight months after the trial, Helen remarried her former husband, Frank Angle, a foreman at Union Metallic Cartridge Company in Stamford. It was said that during her trial Mr Angle's sympathies were aroused, and he was a frequent visitor in the court. [1] [2] [3]  

"Prisoner promised that after he served his term of punishment he would go back to his own country and lead a better life." I wonder whether he did.

I was just thinking that ^^ It's not a name I recognise so perhaps he did, or moved further down the country and did the same..

"Witness showed him the watch bracelet and told him that that was what he was charged with receiving. He replied, 'I have never seen it before.' " And yet Donald Trump gets away with this very defense time after time . . .
