This is Stanley. He’s been digging around the same spot in his backyard for about a year. His humans tried patching it up, even putting a paver over the top of it, but Stanley was insistent. Finally, he found his treasure: a blue glass bottle from the Victorian era that once contained poison. When his human began researching the bottle’s origins, he was able to immediately connect it with an infamous murder case that had taken place just two doors down in what is now Clyst Honiton, Devon, a village in England. In 1865, a woman in the village named Mary Ann Ashford poisoned her husband’s tea so she could be with her younger lover. She was executed in a public hanging that was a key to the end of capital punishment in Britain. While poison bottles were relatively common in the era, Stanley’s human points out: “If you had bought that bottle for the right reasons, like killing rats or something, why would you bother burying it?” Since his discovery, Stanley has stopped digging in the same spot, having completed his role in the historic murder case.
