A fact from Mary Leonard appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 May 2008, and was viewed approximately 3,805 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that after being found not guilty of murdering her ex-husband, Mary Leonard became the first woman in Oregon allowed to practice law?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/May.

For expansion?[edit]

Did you see this article, which asserts in passing that Mary was studying for the bar while in prison, and that she was murdered by a client rather than dying of natural causes?

I did see this, but after reading the Stanford Law produced piece by a now law professor at a top school, and reading the quotes from newspapers, I think the above story is simply a myth (or just plain BS). Aboutmovies (talk) 18:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the other sources are probably more reliable, but if anyone runs across the book Oregon Trivia by Ted Magnuson (ISBN 1558536019), it might be worth checking out if Ted had any sources for this claim that we haven't seen. --Esprqii (talk) 19:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
