Hi to all

I was browsing through this wonderful site trying to find any info I could locate with regards to my ancestors. I came across in the downloads section the article on the following

(Copied from this website )
VAUGHAN James - Charge of Poisoning
Trial extraction from The Argus, Thursday 19 February 1931.
Charge of Poisoning.
Husband Found Not Guilty, LONDON, Feb 17
James Vaughan, local preacher, of the Forest of Dean, who has been married for 30
years, was charged at the Monmouth Assizes this week with having tried to poison his wife. He is alleged to have carried on an intrigue with Mrs. Pinchin, a war widow, who lives next door to him and his wife. It is said that he promised to marry her if his wife died. Mrs. Vaughan in evidence, said that she saw her husband pour a colourless liquid into her tea. After drinking it she felt as if she was "being ripped up by a lot of dogs."
Counsel for the defence, in cross examining her, suggested that she put the sulphuric acid in the teacup and placed sulphuric in her husband's pocket.
Following the judge's summing up strongly in favour of the prisoner today, the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty, and Vaughan was discharged

Does anybody know where I could find some more info on the following, especially where James Vaughan was living at the time, Who Mrs Pinchin could have been,and what happened to Mr & Mrs Vaughan after this case.


Thanks for any help,
Jules
