A Lie and a Lynching

The Springfield Missouri lynching case is revisited as the grand jury reports the alleged attack by two men was false and the woman lied. The two accused were away from the scene and law officers failed in duty, yet mob justice prevailed. The piece condemns muckraking and defends theatrical hamburgers.

Letters and notes from readers mix with odd fiction and satire

A collage of letters and fragments includes Josh Wise urging reader submissions for Star Dust, a dated self-made packer letter from Paria in 1996 with formaldehyde trust schemes, neighborly conversations, and a quip about two state senators and a doctor’s rent. The pieces blend literary and civic tones with local voices and curiosities.

What Does Nelligan Know of the Crime

The article questions Tom Nelligan’s role in a murder near the Adair place at Renton. It details his flight with Elsie Millhuff after leaving Marie Connelly, notes his wet trousers, and speculates on fear, possible witness intimidation, and the lack of clear evidence.
