count in late April, and had poisoned Mr. Lee after being confronted with this. In May, 1977, Velma Barfield began dat­ ing Stewart Taylor and, at some point be­ fore January 1978, the couple was en­ gaged to be married. Later in November, Barfield forged two $100 checks to Tay­ lor's account payable to herself. Taylor later discovered this and threatened her with legal action if she ever did it again. On January 31, 1978, Barfield forged a $300 check on Taylor's account but did not cash it. On the same day she put arsenic-based poison in his beer and tea. Taylor grew steadily sicker until he final­ ly died on February 2,1978, the same day that Velma Barfield finally cashed the check she had forged. Taylor, unlike the other victims of Velma Barfield's crimes, was a relatively young man and in good health. Thus there was some suspicion surrounding his death until the autopsy demonstrated that he had died of arsenic poisoning. When this fact was discovered, District Attorney Joe Freeman Britt ordered the three bodies of Barfield's earlier victims exhumed and examined for arsenic con­ tent. This resulted in Velma Barfield finally signing four separate confessions of murder on March 13, 1978, and was then taken into custody. In November of that year, Velma Bar- field stood trial for the murder of Stewart Taylor, was found guilty in the first de­ gree, and was sentenced to die in North Carolina'a gas chamber on December 2, 1978. She has been living in isolation on "death row" at the Women's Prison in Raleigh since that time. of Troy
