Subject: RE: BS: Martha: What will the jury say?...
I am drawing the parallel here between the only (first?) woman executed by hanging following the assassination of President Lincoln, and the outcome of this case. My dim memory tells me that there were seven people hung, including a lady who owned a boarding house where Booth and his partners planned the attack.

With all of the horror stories involving the investment scandals, this is the only one, as far as I know, involving a high profile woman. (if I'm incorrect, I'm sure someone will correct me).

This might become a statement as to the state of womanhood in the world of high finance. Bob
