It is 1815 Ellsworth. &nbsp;&nbsp;The doctor&#39;s wife is found killed in her home. &nbsp;Examine the trial evidence of an axe murder that gripped our town, and remains unsolved to this day. Participants will take parts to read aloud the eyewitness testimonies transcribed during the trial. &nbsp;Then they will weigh the evidence as a member of the jury. &nbsp;What will be your verdict? &nbsp;Innocent or guilty? This interactive fundraising event supports Ellsworth Historical Society&#39;s work to preserve, interpret, and share local history. (Historic costumes encouraged)
