"When Sarah Cornell was found hanging from the frame of a haystack in Tiverton, Rhode Island, it might easily have been called suicide but for a note she had left in her bandbox saying, 'If I should be missing, enquire of the Rev. Mr. Avery, of Bristol,--he will know where I am.' This was the beginning of the Reverend's troubles and one of the most famous nineteenth-century cases" (McDade). The evidence against Avery in the court of public opinion was damning: Cornell was five months pregnant and Avery had been seen in the vicinity of the haystack on the day of her death. After a 27-day trial, however, he was acquitted. McDade notes that "while the verdict was undoubtedly sound on the evidence as presented, there is still enough doubt to make the case an interesting one for conjecture," and many writers took advantage of this opportunity. Williams, the author of this highly detailed, though somewhat romanticized account was a Rhode Island writer, poet and woman's suffrage activist. The work was reissued in 1834.
