Carlyle Harris (1868 – May 7, 1893) was a New York medical student at New York College of Physicians and Surgeons who, the first of which would spark a series of "copy cat" poison murders to occur in New York during the early 1890s, murdered his young wife, Helen Potts, with an overdose of morphine in the form of sleeping pills. Although his wife's death was first attributed to a stroke, the murder was discovered by physicians only because she displayed severely contracted pupils, a characteristic symptom of morphine poisoning. |
