Another one.

Another one.

A former friend of her first husband, Charles Hopkins.

Clearly.

He'd served in the army with him and was at his bedside when Hopkins died.

According to Lizzie, quote, George Smith brought me his laundry and in a few weeks he wanted me to marry him.

Wow.

He was an old soldier and drew a pension, so I married him.

That motherfucker was rich.

He had money, so I married him.

Little is known about this marriage, but there is documentation from this period that indicates that her bizarre and violent behavior maybe got a little worse.

That's nuts.

I didn't expect that.

Yeah.

In July 1886, Lizzie was arrested and charged with assault and battery after she forcibly entered the home of Mary Barringer, a local woman.

And this woman, I guess Smith, her husband now, had been staying with her for a period of time and had left a large feather bed in her home.

Okay.

And Lizzie wanted to get that feather ass bed back.

According to the complaint, Lizzie showed up at Berenger's door on July 24th and after telling the woman, quote, by God, I'm going to have that feather bed.

She pushed her way into the house.
