Mabel Oakes Murder - 1910...
Mabel Oakes' murder happening in 1910, however, is especially interesting because of things like the League (law enforcement league) and the Letters (Black Hand Letters) and, I imagine, all of the kinds of judgemental things the public would say and do in public, and get away with it because individual rights were completely subject to the public's mean, low down, judgemental ways. Also... this first story seems to give a detailed account of where Miller was -- out in public -- during the time that the murder was supposed to have happened. I'm curious to know how that played out in the trial. And, here's the kicker..... I was left wondering if Miller was convicted or not...? So, yes, this story is worth finishing. You've done an excellent job of making the reader want to know more. I don't know why you wouldn't want to continue it, on your web site, and, then, send in continuing chapters to the Prairie Connection. Lots of people won't have internet, and they're probably like me. They'll want to know the end of the story.
