      One of my correspondents requests that I make some mention in the course of these reminiscences of the story of the \u201cVeiled Murderess,\u201d a woman who once made a big stir in the criminal history of New York State, and was the cause of a good deal of circus in a prominent New York family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This woman was the particular friend of a leadin\u2019 Troy politician. She was very showy, and rather popular, but almost everybody knew her real character and position, and used to crack jokes upon it, just as they did about Fisk and Mansfield. But the Troy woman was very vain, and one day a man in some public place made disparagin\u2019 remarks about her. These remarks came to the Troy woman’s ears, and she never forgave \u2018em, or the man who uttered \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some time afterwards he died suddenly, and the coroner’s inquest on him decided that he had been poisoned. The Troy woman was arrested for the murder, and found guilty. The evidence was pretty strong against her, and if the murderer had been a man he would have been hung sure. But juries are almost always opposed to hangin\u2019 a woman, so the Troy woman got off with a verdict of murder in the second degree, which entitled her to imprisonment for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The trial of this woman made a sensation, and she acted all through it in a very dramatic way. She kept her face veiled all the time, and although the judge commanded her to face the jury without the veil she refused to do it, and was sentenced with the veil on. So she got the title of \u201cThe Veiled Murderess\u201d which stuck to her all her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      She tried to keep the veil on in the prison, but the authorities wouldn’t stand it. But she would always hide her face whenever there were any visitors, and this, and other things, kept her pretty well before the public for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The reporters were all the time writin\u2019 yarns about her, and once some country editor said that she was a member of a highly respectable family from Canada. The highly respectable family from Canada went for that editor and made it pretty hot for him with libel suits, and one thing and another, till the editor \u201csquealed\u201d and apologized. But he determined to get even by findin\u2019 out who \u201cThe Veiled Murderess\u201d really was, and he got what he thought was his chance sooner than he expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Governor Myron H. Clark of New York State visited the prison on a tour of inspection, and durin\u2019 his visit to Sing Sing, where \u201cThe Veiled Murderess\u201d was imprisoned, the followin\u2019 incident occurred:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While Governor Clark was at dinner with the warden of the prison and the board of inspectors, a leadin\u2019 merchant of New York sent his card to the Governor requestin\u2019 a personal interview. The Governor granted the interview, and in it the merchant requested to see the Veiled Murderess, about whom he had read a great deal, and whom he really believed he would be able to recognize as havin\u2019 been once an inmate and employee of his family. The country editor, who had said that the V. M. belonged to this Canada family, happened to be in the Governor’s party, and of course he was very anxious to see if the merchant would recognize the V. M. So the Governor granted the merchant\u2019s request and the merchant and the V. M. were brought face to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When she entered the room the merchant rose up, and the V. M. rushed into his arms, as if she were his wife or mother-in-law. The merchant didn’t seem quite prepared for so much affection, but he stood it like a man, and the V. M. proceeded to slobber over him, and to vent her feelin\u2019s on his shirt bosom. The man and woman recognized each other apparently at once, and the country editor rubbed his hands and chuckled, for now he would find out who the mysterious woman really was. So he and the Governor and all the rest looked on. The merchant took a seat and pointed to a chair near him for the woman to sit down on. But she made another rush for him, hugged and slobbered over him once more, and then knelt at his feet, showin\u2019 her face as she did so, and a rather pretty face it was. The merchant got talkin\u2019 about his family, and when he told her that his wife was dead the V. M. burst into a fit of tears, real tears, and did some more slobbering on his shirt front. After a while the country editor stepped up to the merchant, and after congratulating him on his meetin\u2019 such an old and dear acquaintance, asked him who this woman he had just recognized, or who had just recognized him, was. The merchant told him that she had been a seamstress in his family, and all his family had got much attached to her, himself included. But who she had been, or what else besides his seamstress she had been, he did not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The \u201cVeiled Murderess\u201d was sent back to her cell, and the Governor left the prison, but the country editor determined to call at once on the merchant and work the matter of his former seamstress up, and find out all about her for his paper. He called on the merchant in a few days and ascertained one fact that he thought might be important. The former seamstress had a male friend, who used to take her to singin\u2019 school. This male friend was a master machinist, doin\u2019 business in New York, and possibly he could give some more information about the woman if somebody would hunt him up. So the country editor hunted up the master machinist. He had a good deal of difficulty in finding him, but found him at last. And when he found him he commenced to ask him about Miss Emma H., as the former seamstress in the merchant\u2019s family had been called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The country editor found the master machinist quite \u201cmum\u201d about Miss Emma, but when the editor told the machinist that he had just seen Miss Emma in prison, the machinist jumped up and was ready to knock the editor down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhy, what’s the row?\u201d asked the editor. \u201cIf you know this Emma so well you must be aware that she is servin\u2019 out a life sentence as a murderess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cIt’s a lie,\u201d roared the machinist, \u201cand I\u2019ll stuff it down the throat of the man that utters it. I haven’t been on good terms with the lady lately\u2013that is, not so good as I used to be\u2013but she is no murderess, and she has never been in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And he proved it, to the great wonder of the country editor. For leavin\u2019 his shop in Canal street, the machinist went straight away with the editor to a boarding house up town. And there in the boarding house, playin\u2019 on the parlor piano, sat Miss Emma H., who, accordin\u2019 to her own statement and that of the machinist, had been once the seamstress in the merchant\u2019s family, and the pet of his daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cShe don’t look much like a jailbird, does she?\u201d asked the machinist of the editor, pointin\u2019 to the lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The editor was completely nonplussed. Either the merchant had recognized and positively identified the wrong party in the prison, which couldn’t be, or this Miss Emma H. was not what she and the machinist said she was\u2013which couldn’t be, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Anyhow it was arranged that Miss Emma and the machinist, with the country editor, should visit the merchant\u2019s house, with a view of inquiring into the singular state of matter and things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The merchant was alone when the three called, and when the editor pointed out Miss Emma to him and said, \u201cShe is the one who was your seamstress\u2013not the murderess,\u201d the merchant stared at her without the slightest recognition, and shook his head. Miss Emma tried to recall herself to his recollection, pointed out some things in the room where they were and reminded him of some little incidents about \u2018em, but it was no use. The merchant couldn’t or wouldn’t recognize her, and the editor made up his mind that she was an impostor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cAnd yet, why would she try to impose on me?\u201d he thought; \u201cand why should the machinist help her? There is no money in the Imposture to them.\u201d Altogether it was a very mysterious and mixed up case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Just at this minute, when the editor had made up his mind that his two companions were frauds, in rushed a young lady, the merchant\u2019s daughter, exclaimin\u2019: \u201cDidn’t I hear Emma’s voice just now?\u201d and lookin\u2019 round and seein\u2019 the woman standin\u2019 by the machinist, she cried out, louder than before\u201d \u201cOh, Emma, I am so glad to see you!\u201d The daughter knew her, at any rate, if the father didn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The editor was pretty soon satisfied that the machinist was right, and that this Miss Emma had been the pet seamstress. In fact, before long the merchant himself began to recollect and see things differently from what he had at first, and after a while he became convinced that this woman before him was the real seamstress, and friend of his daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cBut then,\u201d he said to the editor, \u201cwho was that woman up in Sing Sing prison?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cShe is an impostor as well as a murderess,\u201d answered the editor, mad as a hornet at not bein\u2019 any nearer findin\u2019 out who she really was now than he had been before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYes, yes,\u201d said the merchant, rubbin\u2019 his hands thoughtfully. \u201cI remember now, lookin\u2019 back, that when she first entered the room where we were all in the prison waitin\u2019 for her, she kind of looked round perplexed, until I rose to meet her, and then she seemed relieved and pretended to recognize me at once. And I recollect, too,\u201d continued the merchant, \u201cthat she never mentioned any of my family’s names first to me, but asked me questions to bring out their names from me first, and then as soon as I mentioned their names, why, she pretended to know \u2018em and gushed over \u2018em. Yes, yes,she was an impostor. But what,\u201d he asked of the editor, \u201ccould have been the woman’s motive in deceivin\u2019 me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThat’s what I am goin\u2019 to find out,\u201d said the editor, \u201cand I’m goin\u2019 to go to Sing Sing about it, right off. I’m goin\u2019 to get to the bottom of this mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At last he got an interview himself with the veiled murderess, and in this interview the woman coolly owned up that she had been \u201cfoolin\u2019 the New York chap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cBut why did you deceive the old gentleman?\u201d asked the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOh, the old fellow looked as if he wanted to know me,\u201d she replied with a laugh; \u201cand so I didn’t think it polite to let him be disappointed, especially as he had come all the way from New York to see me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The matron of the prison, who was present at the interview, then began to scold the V. M., but she made a jest of the scoldin\u2019, and right in the midst of it, turning to the editor, she said: \u201cDid you notice how I cried on the old chap\u2019s shoulder? I moistened his broadcloth for him in first-class style, didn’t I?\u201d And then she burst into a fit of laughin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The matron sent her back into her cell, and she afterwards grew fat and disorderly, and at last crazy. She was sent to the insane hospital at Auburn, and dropped out of public view. But there is one man who never forgot her, and that one man is the country editor\u2013still alive, and who was the correspondent that called my attention to this once notorious woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

[Editor’s notes: The asylum where “Henrietta Robinson” resided was in Matteawan (Fishkill) NY, not Auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “country editor” the column refers to was John M. Francis (1823-1897), for many years a newspaper editor in Troy, but also a United States foreign minister at several posts in Europe. As the column indicates, Francis was first taken in by the story that Robinson was a daughter of Robert Wood (1792-1847), a Canadian timber merchant. Wood’s five daughters (Georgiana, Emma, Charlotte, Harriet and Maria) all lived long lives, married, and died in England or Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
John M. Francis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Francis, the editor, realized this association with the Wood family was false, and recanted in his paper, the Troy Daily Times<\/em>. He later investigated the story related in the column above, about Robinson having been a seamstress in a merchant’s family, before settling on the fact that this, too, was false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henrietta’s true identity was never revealed before her death in the Matteawan asylum in 1905. However, despite Francis’s investigations, the theory persisted for years that she was one of the Wood sisters; and that the Wood family covered up the fact.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
