Portrait of Martha Alden who was executed on the 31st of July, 1807, for murdering her Husband in a Cottage near Attleborough, Norfolk on the 18th July 1807. A witness Sarah Leeder, was asked by Alden to borrow a spade following the murder. On the 22nd July Leeder went to Alden's house and saw a large pit in the garden, to her horror she noticed two hands of a man, with the arms of a shirt stained with blood. Alarmed, she returned to her home and after a quarter of an hour she returned again to the Alden's garden, and found that in her absence the body had been taken out. She knew it to be the body of Samuel Alden. His face was dreadfully chopped, and his head cut very nearly off. The body was put into a cart and carried to the house of the deceased.
