Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Phoenix, 1931. Two women murdered. Two trunks shipped to Los Angeles. One suspect: a frail, 105-pound tuberculosis patient named Winnie Ruth Judd.The newspapers called her the "Tiger Woman" and the "Trunk Murderess." They sent her to hang. But the man who helped her that night-wealthy lumberman "Happy Jack" Halloran-walked free, his name barely whispered in court.What followed defied belief: a death sentence commuted to madness, seven escapes from the asylum, six years living as a California governess named "Marian Lane," and a pardon signed by the same man who once dramatized her trial on the radio.She served longer than any murderer in American history. She died with the truth still locked inside her.This is the story the headlines never told-of a woman buried beneath her own legend, and the powerful man who let her take the fall alone.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Easter Massacre: The True Crime of James Urban Ruppert On Easter Sunday, 1975, the American dream died in a hail of gunfire at 635 Minor Avenue in Hamilton, Ohio. Eleven members of the Ruppert family-parents, siblings, and children, from a four-year-old boy clutching a chocolate egg to their elderly grandmother-were brutally murdered in what remains one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history. Step inside the mind of the killer, James Urban Ruppert, the quiet, middle child who was both the lone survivor and the accused. Was he a cold-blooded financial plotter, as prosecutor John Holcomb believed, or a tortured soul driven to an unspeakable act? This book dives deep beyond the headlines and the blood-soaked carpet, tracing the decades of quiet torment that led to the massacre. From a childhood spent in a "pigeon coop" where he was constantly compared to his "shining star" older brother, to the physical abuse, the twisted sexual dynamics with his mother, and a deep-seated feeling of being an "unwanted mistake." His life was a slow burn of inadequacy, shame, and isolation. Follow the gripping narrative from the prosecutor's chilling tour of the crime scene to the controversial trial that explored Ruppert's twisted psyche, his impotence, and his growing paranoia. The Easter Massacre is the definitive, unflinching account of the man who wiped out 600 years of human existence in a single day, and the shocking pathology behind a true American horror story. Discover the full, horrifying truth. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The clock is ticking on a legal drink. Hamilton, Ohio, 1919. Saloon owner Lyman Williams is set to pour the last legal beer in Butler County, a final, grand hurrah born from a loophole in the new statewide Prohibition law. But as the honest men prepare their dignified farewell, a dangerous new world is already taking shape.War-scarred veteran Joe Jacobs returns from France with lungs damaged by mustard gas and hands that won't stop shaking. Desperate for a way to provide for his family, he's quickly recruited into a burgeoning bootlegging operation by the shrewd Roy Addison and railroad man Fat Wrassman.Little Chicago Chronicles I: One More Last Call immerses you in the raw, untold history of Prohibition's turbulent dawn. As speakeasies replace saloons and crime turns professional, two men-one fighting to preserve peace, the other embracing the coming chaos-will define the bloody, lawless future of 'Little Chicago.'.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the shadow of the gallows, justice is as wild as the frontier. From the tragedy of three deserters at Fort Hamilton in 1793, to the fixed fight and political corruption of 1868 Hamilton, and the dark final act of a son's murder of his mother in 1884-these are the stories of every man who met his fate at the end of a rope in Butler County. Explore the desperate race for mercy, the quiet power of a deathbed confession, and the unsettling calm of a condemned man's final smile.'The Deserters' (1793) Seven soldiers desert Fort Hamilton during the Indian Wars. Major Michael Rudolph, the tyrannical 'Lion of the Legion,' sentences three to hang: John Brown, Seth Blinn, and Patrick Gallaher. Corporal Daniel Tate races through hostile wilderness carrying a pardon from General Wilkinson-but arrives fifteen minutes too late. The men are already dead, strangled on a crude gallows. Witnessed through Private Nat Beatty, scarred from his own gauntlet punishment, and Hannah Cobb, a widow who survived St. Clair's Defeat, the story explores how mercy was complete and in motion, but the frontier was wider than compassion could cross in time.'The Wrestlers' (1869) Uzile Prickett, 'Champion of America' wrestler and professional grifter, is murdered after throwing a fixed match in Hamilton. Irish blacksmith John Griffin admits to beating Prickett but denies firing the fatal shot. Was Griffin a scapegoat for the McGehean political machine controlling Hamilton's vice economy The story opens with Griffin's execution, then works backward through the fixed match, murder, and trial. A new character-barkeeper's wife Siobhan Galloway-witnessed the real killer but kept silent for fifty years, confessing only on her 1918 deathbed. Two lawyers later stated Prickett was already dead before Griffin struck him.'The Son' (1884) George Schneider murders his 74-year-old mother Catharine on Halloween night for ninety dollars. She'd walked miles to his remote farm to collect a debt and quarreled with George's wife Margaret. At the gate, Catharine said of Margaret: 'If she was dead I would have a home.' George picked up a stone and struck twice, burying her nearby. For five weeks he blamed mysterious robbers while her body decomposed two hundred yards from his house. Arrested, tried, and hanged on June 19, 1885, George maintained an eerie calm and 'peculiar, half-defiant smile' throughout-the last person executed in Butler County.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. John C. Elliott (1817-1862) was not a killer in the way history books prefer their killers. He did not rage. He did not brood. He did not confess. He read the room, counted the exits, watched men's hands. What he was asked to do, he did - by the cord of wood, by the ballot box, by the riverbank, by the federal warrant. When the Whig machine needed a barn torched or a vote bought, Elliott obliged. When a Mormon elder was wanted in Illinois and the law in Illinois could not cross the Mississippi, When a self-declared Prophet threatened to upset the political order, Elliott rode west with a false name and a schoolmaster's coat and helped the Prophet get out of jail. The hard way. By 1850 Elliott wore a Marshal's badge. The Fugitive Slave Act had passed that autumn, and the federal government in Cincinnati needed men willing to drag an escaped slave across the Ohio River in chains. Elliott did it for seven years, until a fugitive named Addison White ended his federal career. This is a book about the quiet machinery of American violence, about the men the republic hired to do its dirty work and the ground those men covered without asking why.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. December 15, 1919. The corner of Fourth and Court streets becomes a killing ground when Merchant Patrolman Harry E. Baker is shot dead in the early morning fog. It looks like a simple, botched robbery in the booming industrial city known as "Little Chicago." But for the detectives on the case, the trail of blood leads not across the river, but hundreds of miles south, back to the dark hollows of Eastern Kentucky.MURDERED ON PATROL is the explosive second volume of The Little Chicago Chronicles, unearthing the generations of violence that shaped the men who pulled the trigger. They are three young veterans-Nelson Barger, scarred by the trenches of France; Kimber Baker, whose father is a deputy sheriff in a county where a badge is just another weapon; and Hargis Callahan, the teenage "heir apparent" to the bloodiest feud in Kentucky history. They came north to the factories of Ohio to escape the past, but the brutal code of honor they were raised on came with them. This item is printed on demand.
