Dr Bugbee, his wife Maria, daughter Hattie, servant Hannah Regan, and Maria's parents Burton & Harriet Town were all suspected to have been murdered by arsenic poisoning.

When Burton Town was the sixth to die in a six month period his son, Col Frances Town M.D., sent instructions to have his father's body exhumed and tested. When arsenic was found they exhumed the others too. Reports vary but they did find high levels of arsenic in the last three, Dr Bugbee, Mrs Harriet Town, and Mr Burton Town. After a trial the suspect Nellie Webb, who lived in the Town's home, was not found guilty by the jury for lack of evidence.
