F is for Polly FRISCH, murderess

In 1856, in the rural town of Alabama, NY one woman's family suffered from multiple unexplained deaths. The town folk grew suspicious of the now remarried Polly Frisch. An investigation commenced, bodies were exhumed, an affair—exposed. Polly would be arrested for the murders of her first husband and daughters. Her fourteen-year-old son would testify against her. If found guilty, the punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Would Polly be the first woman in Genesee County history to be hanged for murder? Bread & Butter is the true story of Polly Frisch who poisoned her family with arsenic and the five trials it took to convict her.

  2. Multiple unexplained deaths! She must have thought no one would notice. What drug was she taking back then? Hopping by from A-Z Challenge.

    1. Exactly, she didn't think they would figure it out as the symptoms of arsenic poisoning resemble cholera.

Waiting for Harvey
