Containing accounts of ten classic murders and two inexplicable disappearances, Vintage Vermont Villainies is a veritable best of the best of Vermont homicides occurring between 1874 and 1957. Bellamy's catalog of miscreants includes Mary Rogers, whose seduction of two brothers paved the way to eliminating her inconvenient husband; and John Winters, whose date with the electric chair enlisted the sympathies of Clarence Darrow.
