The 1916-6-28 Telluride Daily Journal clipping mentioned a young girl using the "unwritten law" as a legal defense. I found this article on the UMKC site about the murder of, at the time the most famous architect in the world(Costanzas dream),Stanford White. I knew the basics of the story, but holy shit, what a clusterfuck. The first true "pin up girl", said architect, and the pin up girls crazy husband,a coke head billionaire(todays money), culminating in a execution style killing in front of a thousand witnesses at Madison Square Gardens rooftop theater. Winston Churchills cousin was the prosecutor

FRAT...But well worth it.

1917-1-8 . Lewis often wrestled barefoot as part of his gimmick. Wrestlers usually took off their shoes when a match was a legit contest to make a foot lock easier to escape, when Lewis appeared shoeless in the ring, the crowd would expect a legit shoot, in the beginning anyway.
