The other people involved were Christina who got off, and her husband Reuben Gardner who was also convicted.

I found no other information on Mary or what ever happened to her four children while she was in prison for those 4 years.

I wonder why she helped in this burglary. Arthur was a dashing man maybe he casted a love spell on her. What I would love to know most is what happened to her 4 children.
