The district attorney portrayed a conscience free woman of easy morals who lured 23 year old McTavish to a resort for three days away from family. He planned to steal his vacation money, then prosecutors alleged she killed him by whiskey, a 38 caliber shot to the head, and 20 axe blows. Spectators wilted as testimony detailed the grisly crime and a former boarder recounted finding Mrs. Richmond nearly nude in a third floor room as McTavish fled in panic.
