The defense made a valiant effort on Frederick Small’s behalf.
Proclaiming that he was in Boston at the time,
and had witnesses to the fact.

when it burned into the ground.
And he had absolutely nothing to do with the body that they found.
He could not, would not, did not murder his wife.
Yet in jail he sat, on trial for his life.
