Can anyone direct me to a complete, beginning-to-end review of the Sally Hamilton case?
Sally Hamilton was a young woman who was raped and murdered near Catskill, N. Y., on August 23, 1813.  The case became very convoluted, with several arrests and at least one trial and conviction, but the conviction was reversed because the chief witness, a supposed participant, was demented.  I have a fairly long summary from The Columbian of April 2, 1817, but the case was referred to in a NYC newspaper as late as January, 1820.
