Second edition. Woodcut frontispiece of "A View of Mr. Durfee's Farm-House and Stack-Yard" where the body was found. 1 vols. 16mo. MURDERED BY THE MINISTER! Sarah Cornell, a devout Methodist and mill weaver, was molested by a Methodist minister at a camp meeting, pregnancy ensued followed shortly by death. This is the story of the murder investigation, testimonies of the witnesses, clues, background and showing how the murderer was protected by the church he represented and whitewashed while she, representing also women mill-workers as a group, was blackened and cheapened. The adverse effect of the case on the town and the people involved, as well as the extremes the Methodist church was willing to go to to protect their representative, with bribery,threats and lies are exposed as are the abuses of the legal system involved. The minister went free. The author compiled the information and did her own research to expose this case of misjustice and ministerial abuse of trust. It was interesting also in showing how people then, as today, come forth as witnesses for the attention and recognition. The minister was so over-alibied that more time was accounted for than in the given time segment questioned. An interesting work of criminology and people.
