Killer's Bride on Dream Shattered by Older Man Alcohol
Muriel Edwards, 10 year old wife of the "cry baby bandit" Bob Edwards, blames prohibition liquor and an older man for the tragedy that led to her husband’s death. She describes a five year courtship and marriage in December 1930, says he drank after they moved, and recalls pleading for him to turn home the night Kardow was killed. A police sergeant watches as the couple sits in jail, her arm around her husband, with murky details of a life marred by drink and fear.
