Sarah Ann nee PIPER FRENCH (b 1825 Hellingly, dau Reuben PIPER and Sarah nee HOAD - April 1852 Lewes) poisoned her husband William's ( 1817 Chiddingly son of William, - Jan 1852 Chiddingly) Onion Pie with arsenic. They had been married for seven years and had one son James (b 1844 Hellingly). She'd "fallen in love" with James HICKMAN (b 1831 Chiddingly-1890) who was courting her sister Jane. William's brother John FRENCH was suspicious and put pressure on the Constable who had the body exhumed. Sarah was tried at Lewes, convicted of murder, and hanged three months after the death of her husband. She'd been known to have attended the trial of Mary Ann GEERING (Guestling Poisonings fame) and apparently got the idea from her! I believe she was the last woman hanged in Sussex. Would you like the recipe LOL? HTHs, Joanne **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489
