http://www.rabbitbrush.com/hickson/potts.html Only woman in Nevada:
Hanged with husband, both may have been framed by the victim
(farfetched, but possible).

1890 Mrs. Elizabeth Potts and her husband Josiah were for hanged
killing Miles Faucett around the date of January 1, 1888 in Elko
Nevada. The gallows was borrowed from California and re-assembled in
Elko. Elizabeth had a new dress made especially for her execution!

Lots of web sites.  Being the only woman executed in the state
seems to cry out for celebrity.
