Murder at Burkhards Bedside Stirs Savannah in 19th Century Crime
In a brutal night assault at Burkhard’s household, two killers entered unseen, murdered Mrs. Burkhard as she slept, and dragged her body to the yard while an alarm spread. The crime targeted money believed hidden with Mrs. Burkhard, and the assailants fled as authorities pursued the accomplice. A later pursuit led to the male suspect’s capture while rescue and investigations followed. The incident coincides with a Savannah press association gathering noted for its civic tranquillity.
