Elsie Sweetman

Elsie Sweetman died from an illegal operation.

A nurse from Pimlico was tried for her murder after Elsie Sweetman made a dying declaration against her but it was heard that at the time she made the declaration that it was not believed that she was going to die as after she had made plans to get married and so the statement, the only evidence against the nurse, was not allowed at the trial as evidence. It was also heard that there might have been an accomplice and that the declaration should have been heard by both of the accused.
