Peasenhall Murder
In May of 1902, the servant of William and Georgeanna Crisp, Rose Harsent was strangled. The accused William Gardiner was tried, and the first jury voted 11 to one for guilty. A second trial was set, as an unanimous vote was required, and this jury voted 11 to one for not guilty. The charge was dropped and the accused left the village, although locals still maintain that he had been framed. The real murderer was never found.
