YESTERDAY’S NEWS --

Tales of classic scandals, scoundrels and scourges told from historic newspapers in the golden age of yellow journalism...

The Case Of The Deadly Bon-Bons

Just about every sensational murder case is hailed as too strange for fiction or the most remarkable in history, but episode 235 really is unique, a murder inflicted on two persons unknown to the assailant from a distance of nearly 3,000 miles. Add into that the usual sleazy scandals, and this one is ripe for your horror and indignation.

Culled from the historical pages of the San Francisco Call, San Francisco Chronicle, The Wilmington Delaware Morning News and other newspapers of the era.
