Grace Hubbard Fortescue, (née Bell) (November 3, 1883 – June 24, 1979), was a New York City socialite who orchestrated the kidnapping, beating, and murder of a man who was wrongly accused of raping her daughter. After being convicted of manslaughter at a sensational trial, her ten-year sentence was commuted to a single hour by Hawaii's Territorial Governor Lawrence Judd.[1][2]
