...betting, blue print production, employment of temporary office help. Some of the suggestions actually make sense, but they are like so many popguns in the economic forecaster's arsenal.

Some months later, Belle's husband, Dr. Hawley Crippen, was brought to trial for her murder. The penny press played him up as Britain's own Bluebeard, and the scandal provided some of the least savory sensations of the Edwardian era. Dr. Crippen was convicted, and on Nov. 23, 1910, he went to the gallows, protesting his innocence...
