In San Francisco, seaman Frank Harris confessed to strangling Connie Sublette, a 20 year old Bohemian known in North Beach beat hangouts. He described the crime after a heroin and whiskey fueled frenzy. Sublette, linked with party crowds and poets, was found in an alley near Golden Gate Park with only a black brassiere. Harris, later aboard a transport ship to Japan, stated he waited in his bunk for arrest. The case ties to a string of tragic deaths in the beat scene, including Sublette’s former lover who died in a fall, and another associate who perished at a party. The affair paints a lurid picture of a volatile bohemian subculture in turmoil.
