Note 4 — Chapter I · The “Canary”
Reading edition
The Loeb–Leopold crime, the Dorothy King case, and the Hall–Mills murder came later; but the Canary murder proved fully as conspicuous a case as the Nan Patterson–“Cæsar” Young affair, Durant’s murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams in San Francisco, the Molineux arsenic-poisoning case, and the Carlyle Harris morphine murder. To find a parallel in point of public interest one must recall the Borden double-murder in Fall River, the Thaw case, the shooting of Elwell, and the Rosenthal murder. ↩︎
