YESTERDAY’S NEWS
-
A reading of America’s historic newspapers from the golden age of yellow journalism.
-
Murder in the Marberry Resort
-
In this episode, we get an unusual glimpse into the world inside a bordello at the turn of the previous century, when a young prostitute reneges on a suicide pact with another, and allegedly kills a third girl to keep her secret safe. One of the things I like about this story is the outrage and indignation expressed by the newspaper editors that seems both quaint and relative to many of today’s social issues.
