Eagle Archive: Murder and mayhem led to Carroll's last public hanging in 1916

Eagle Archive: Murder and mayhem led to Carroll's last public hanging in 1916


Two sensational murders were the talk of Carroll County in February years ago.

The first involved a thrilling trial and the other, a murder which resulted in the hanging of Solomon Sutler, Friday, April 14, 1916, on gallows purchased from Adams County for $25.00. It was the third and last hanging in the county’s history.

The first hanging was in June 1859, when the only woman ever to have been executed here, Rebecca McCormack, was hung for stabbing a 13-year-old boy with a pitchfork. Then, in 1874, Joseph Davis was hanged.

On May 21, 1920 the now defunct Union Bridge Pilot wrote about the thrilling trial for the January 29, 1920 murder of Dominick Fabrizzi. “The trial of Mrs. Dominick Fabrizzi aged 29 who admitted killing her husband near here…, then placing the body on the R. R. tracks, was begun in Westminster on Monday morning…” … http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0219-20120215,0,7885898.story

American Sentinel, January 29, 1898: The Hotel Question in Silver Run


Silver Run Items—The hotel question is again being discussed among the people of our village. There was a new applicant around for signers, but we cannot say at present whether he will succeed in procuring them or not.

There have been no hotels in this place since last May, and since that time every thing has moved along quietly and all appear to be as happy and hearty as they were before the hotels were closed. But it seems that some of those that do feel happy and hearty since the hotels are closed are still not contented.

It is rumored that some of them that fought hard to have the hotels closed last spring are now giving their consent to have them opened again. This may be a false report, which we hope it is, and if it is not, hereafter we cannot judge our good people by their appearance at first sight.

Szymanski gave a talk at the Historical Society's monthly box lunch talk Tuesday on the legend of the silver mine in Silver Run. While she may not be a historian, Szymanski said she has done a lot of personal research on the silver mine and other local pieces of history.
