Summary "On the morning of the 30th of June, 1860, Francis Saville Kent, four years old, was found murdered in an out-house on his father's premises, Roadhill House, Wiltshire [England]. ... Suspicions fell, by turns upon Mr. Kent, the nurse, and upon a daughter of the former by his first wife. [Constance Emilie Kent, the daughter] had borne herself throughout the examination with wonderful fortitude, and apparently with the utmost consciousness of innocence." Yet in the spring of 1865, she voluntarily came forward, confessed herself guilty of her brother's murder, and was committeed to take her trial for the crime. Cf. Pages 3-5
