  • Agnes Willis: The Cherry Court Murder

    Agnes Willis: The Cherry Court Murder
    2019/12/19
    December 11, 1899 dawned gray and cold, rain blowing in waves with the winds up Cherry Street. Agnes Willis spent the day at work as a “scrub woman,” or cleaner, before meeting up with Gilbert Farmer and returning with him to her Cherry Street tenement. They took supper with the neighbors. A blade was needed to cut the chicken and Gilbert offered up his knife, a folding dirk. Its edge glittered. Sources: Guyette, Elise A.

    The Murder of Perry Russell
    2019/09/04
    The moon was in the window. The bedroom swam silver in its light.  Half-past eight o’clock on October 3, 1868, and Hannah Russell lay awake, her husband Perry beside her.
