Mystery At The Laconey Mill
About this Episode
Case File For The Scoundrel Lingo
Episode 428 describes two violent murders in the rural areas around Merchantville, New Jersey, in the 1890s. A rough farm-hand is the first suspect in the first case, but suspicion suddenly turns to the victim’s uncle/husband and attention to a trial full of courtroom theatrics. Then a nearly identical murder a year later adds a new wrinkle to the case. But that’s still not all.
Culled from the historic pages of the New York Daily World, the Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers of the era.
