Jane Brooks was indicted for the murder of Mary Lacelle by poisoning, at the July term, 1863, and was tried the next October before Hon. Martin Grover. Hon. Hamilton Ward was the prosecuting attorney and Hon Wilkes Angel and Col. A. J. McNett defended. The case from its nature and circumstances was invested with unusual interest; the trial resulting in conviction, and sentence to be hanged on the 18th of December 1863, but the Governonr interposed and commuted her sentence to imprisonment for life.
