Depends. Is it Abe Froman? The sausage king of Chicago?

I just looked at the index for the book Devil in the White City by Erik Larson that I remember reading years ago. I'm surprised Luetgert doesn't appear. Seems like he would have included this infamous Chicago murder as it was during the same time period.

Larson is such a great writer. I tore through Dead Wake (the story of the Lusitania) in about a week.

if there was a statue of me, in all my magnificent ugliness, would you deem it worthy and ethical to destroy what is clearly not your property?

Self defense. Your ugly statue was assaulting my eyes.

I tend to have that effect on people. I call it screening.
