Mary Blandy, English Murderer

Miss Molly Blandy wearing leg-iron. Mary Blandy (1720 - April 6, 1752) was an English murderer. In 1751, she poisoned her father, Francis Blandy. She claimed that she thought the arsenic was a love potion that would make her father approve of her relationship with William Henry Cranstoun, an army officer and son of a Scottish nobleman. The trial was of some forensic interest, as there was expert testimony about the arsenic poisoning that was presented by Dr. Anthony Addington. Addington had done testing that would be rudimentary by today's standards, but was quite fascinating in the 18th century, based on testing residue for traces of arsenic. On Easter Monday, April 6, 1752, Blandy was hung outside Oxford Castle prison for the crime of parricide. Her case attracted a great deal of attention from the press. No artist credited, 1752.
