Editing Augusta Fullam and Harry Clark (section)

== Crime and Exposure ==
Having settled on a plan to kill Edward Fullam with arsenic, Clark and Fullam began administering poison to Edward daily. However, Augusta Fullam wrote in multiple letters to Clark that the arsenic powder she gave Edward in his tea every day was not working. On Friday 16th June 1911, a massive dose of arsenic finally managed to make Edward Fullam fall ill, however he still survived. Eventually Augusta finally made Edward fall seriously ill and Clark administered a final dose in the form of an injection. As a surgeon, Clark signed the death certificate to read that the cause of death was heatstroke, the symptoms of which are similar to those of arsenic poisoning.

Having killed Edward Fullam, Clark and Fullam hired four men to kill Louisa Clark. In November 1912 the assassins broke into the Clark's home and hacked her to death. Although Fullam provided Clark with an alibi, a search of Fullam's home revealed a box containing hundreds of letters Clark and Fullam had written to each other detailing how they had killed Fullam's husband. Both of them were convicted of the double murder and Clark was hanged in March 1913. As Fullam was pregnant and had testified against Clark, she was sentenced to life in prison. She died of heatstroke in 1914, having served fifteen months in prison.
