On this day in history:
In 1656, the General Provincial Court in session at Patuxent, Maryland, impanels the first all-woman jury in the Colonies to hear evidence against Judith Catchpole, who is accused of murdering her child. The jury acquits her after hearing her defense of never having been pregnant.
In 1776, American Captain Nathan Hale is hanged as a spy by the British in New York City; his last words are reputed to have been, "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
In 1991, the Huntington Library makes the Dead Sea Scrolls available to the public for the first time.
Quote for today:
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
