September 19, 1874 Portsmouth Journal of Literature and Politics Murder house ravaged by relic hunters Read Text Version The old house on Smutty-nose island, Isles of Shoals, in which the Wagner murder was committed, is rapidly being cut to pieces by relic hunters. The bedroom, where there were so many spots of blood, is completely honey-combed, and the woodwork around the window through which Mrs. Hontvent escaped, has been entirely removed.
