The return of Russell Colvin ... - Spargo, John, 1876-1966. (Bennington, Vt. : Bennington Historical Museum & Art Gallery, 1945)
"A full and veracious account of the amazing events in Vermont: how Stephen and Jesse Boorn, two brothers, were accused, arrested, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to die by hanging for the wilful murder of Russell Colvin of Manchester, having confessed the crime; how, while the condemned men languished in prison, it was proved that Colvin had not been murdered, but was alive and in good health and how he returned to Manchester and saved the unfortunate doomed men from a terrible fate."
