Painter and poet aid Esposito pardon in a long fight
Miss Cowles and her sister Maude Alice Cowles, artists, undertook a commission for Christ Church at New Haven and, while painting, learned of Esposito a condemned prisoner at Wethersfield. They gathered witness testimony and sought experts, arguing his innocence and urging the governor to grant clemency. After years of effort a pardon was granted and Esposito walked free into sunlight.
