LOL do you mean George Wythe from the late 1700s? I had to look him up to see who you meant!!
One and the same. He died from arsenic poisoning. The speaker believed the grand nephew did it based on circumstantial evidence. At the time of the crime, the grand nephew was not found guilty. Evidently, GW was a Quaker and had aggravated his friends and neighbors with his convictions on slavery and as a result the jury didn't get the whole story.
