Alan J. Croce Chairman, New York State Commission of Correction Executive Park Tower, Stuyvesant Plaza, Albany, New York 12203-3764 May 20, 2002 Dear Chairman Croce:   I am so pleased that the New York Correction History Society (NYCHS) is providing a new home for the Crimes in North Country History pages that I created while Clinton County District Attorney.   The history of justice, crime and corrections is fascinating! It was several years ago that I found your excellent website while I was trying to track down information on Peggy Facto, a woman who was hanged in Plattsburgh in 1825 for murdering her new-born child.   That led to e-mail communications with your NYCHS webmaster, who immediately came to mind when I sought to keep the North Country crime information on the internet.   Thank you so much,   Penelope D. Clute, City Court Judge, Plattsburgh, N.Y.
