If I remember correctly, it was also a somewhat common method of murdering your husband to drive a nail into his skull. The tiny wound would be easily hidden and apparently quite a few people got away with it.
Allegedly my great (maybe great great, I don’t know) grandmother tried to murder her husband by putting rat poison in his morning coffee. I don’t know if the forensics back then would have been able to identify that, but fortunately it didn’t matter because apparently rat poison floats.
Idk about the forensics part. Were probably talking strychnine back then, which os pretty obvious because it causes muscle spasms and people to contort up and stiffen up pretty unaturally.

I was never told what happened to her, though.
