Mary Frances Creighton was a 36 year old housewife who lived in Baldwin, New York. She was married to John Creighton and together they had a daughter named Ruth.They lived together with another family, the Applegates. The father, Everett Applegate had sex with his own 12 year old daughter Agnes as well as with Creighton’s daughter Ruth, who was 14 years old at the time. Mary Frances was a willing participant in the arrangement. She and Everett then conspired to poison Everett’s wife, Ada, so that her daughter Ruth could marry “Uncle Ev.” Convicted of poisoning Ada Applegate, Creighton was electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison on the 16th July 1936. Whilst waiting to be strapped into the electric chair she collapsed several times, her legs apparently paralyzed and she suffered hysteria as a result of her sentence.
