Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Attorney General, for the Year 1879
Ah indictment against John N. Buzzell and Carrie Frances Porter for the murder of an infant child, not named, by strangling. The defendants were arraigned before the Chief Justice on the fourteenth day of July, and Messrs. William B. Gale and Henry F. Hurlbut were assigned as counsel for Buzzell, and William H. Niles as counsel for Porter; and the prisoners severally pleaded not guilty. Afterwards, upon an examination of the case, I determined that the interest of the Commonwealth required that I should use Carrie Frances Porter as a witness upon the trial of Buzzell; and I thereupon entered a nolle prosegui as to her.
The trial of Buzzell commenced before Justices Colt and Ames on the thirtieth day of December, and, on the second day of J annary, resulted in a verdict of not guilty.
