This is the trial of George Arthur Bailey charged with poisoning his wife. His four day trial at Aylesbury Assizes in January of that year was notable as the first murder trial which had female jury members.
Bailey gave evidence and told the court that his wife had threatened suicide and had then swallowed prussic acid. The jury, advised by Mr Justice McCardie to 'arrive at your verdict without flinching, and to deliver it with unswerving firmness' disbelieved his story and duly returned a guilty verdict.
He was executed on 2nd March 1921
That's really interesting. Thanks MikeFraser.
