This weeks episode is the Crime Classics presentation, The Shockingly Peaceful Passing of Thomas Edwin Bartlet - Green Grocer. This episode aired June 22, 1953, on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS).

Thomas Edwin Bartlett, was allegedly poisoned by his wife, Adelaide Blanche Bartlett, in the Pimlico district of London. A fatal quantity of chloroform was found in Mr Bartlett's stomach, despite having not caused any damage to his throat or windpipe, and no evidence of how it got there. Adelaide Bartlett was tried and acquitted for her husband's murder. By the jury's own statement in court Mrs Bartlett's acquittal was partly secured because the prosecution could not prove how Mrs Bartlett could have committed the crime. [parts from Wikipedia]
