The story, riddle and clues are shown below

Abigail Addison crafted her role perfectly. She arrived in Lawrence as a qualified piano teacher and quickly established a reputation of part community pillar and part spinster. It was a reputation that would serve her well as a cover for the murder she was about to commit, and for a past of several suitors and husbands who met untimely and unusual deaths. And, of course, it didn't detract from the formula that she was devilishly attractive.

In 1865, Lawrence was just another frontier town and a ripe challenge to lure another husband into a tragic death for profit. Abigail had a system and she wasn’t about to set it aside for any town of liberal yahoos. But it was the year the University of Kansas began its charter and the community began to grow beyond its Abolitionist roots into a wide-spread bastion of liberal philosophy and philanthropy.

Abigail remained confident, however, but she hadn’t planned on dealing with a community of people who were both kind and thoughtful. In her experience, you could find the former in Iowa and the latter in New York, but to find both in one community. No. That was a grave anomaly to be remedied.

Abigail went the comfortable route, though, and gradually found a stalwart Lawrencian who admired her music and caring for children. He was prime for the picking. It wasn’t long before he fell in love and needed her to complete his being.

But she underestimated the Lawrencian. He knowingly let her steal money from him freely, but when she tried to poison his coffee with arsenic he horse whipped her and formed a local band of people who scurried her out of town.

She left behind a small cache of valuable coins, which she hid in a remote place.
