LIZZIE HALLIDAY’s “STORE TEETH” - Fitted With a New set of Teeth by a Fishkill Landing Dentist

Mrs. Lizzie Halliday, the Sullivan county murderess, who is serving a life sentence at the Matteawan State Hospital, was taken to Fishkill Landing, Saturday, by Matron Hess, and received her new set of false teeth.

Mrs. Halliday was recognized by citizens, and soon a motley gathering was in the neighborhood of the dentist’s office on Main street. Mrs. Halliday opened her mouth to show her store teeth to the crowd and she seemed much pleased with them. The woman looked remarkably well, and many who saw her remarked that she looked wonderfully docile for a woman who had been guilty of three murders. She was not handcuffed.

The notorious woman appeared to enjoy her outing immensely and wore a broad grin all over her face.
