Man Accused of Murder Knew of Wife affairs
In Bennington Vermont a marine biologist Dr William H Sutcliffe Jr stands trial for second degree murder after his wife Louise Sutcliffe died from wood alcohol poisoning. Police quote Sutcliffe saying he knew of her affairs and had patched things up but did not know about an affair with a Woods Hole colleague until after her death. The defense argues the alcohol exposure was accidental and Sutcliffe noted the non poisonous ethyl alcohol used for drinks. The prosecution asserts Sutcliffe knew the methyl alcohol was lethal and caused his wife’s death while a close friend Dr John Ryther allegedly confessed to an affair with Louise.
