Only edition. A detailed contemporary account of one of the most sensational American murder trials of the late nineteenth century involving the killing of George D. Saxton brother of Ida Saxton McKinley wife of President William McKinley. Saxton a prominent Canton Ohio businessman was shot and killed on October 7 1898. Annie E. George a married woman with whom he had reportedly maintained a longstanding intimate relationship was arrested and charged with his murder. The case attracted widespread publicity heightened by Saxton's relationship to the presidential family and the scandalous circumstances surrounding his death. George's trial held in Canton in 1899 became a widely followed courtroom spectacle. The prosecution sought to establish her responsibility for Saxton's death while the defense challenged the evidence against her. The proceedings brought questions of sexual morality personal reputation and the treatment of women accused of violent crimes into the public arena. George was ultimately acquitted an outcome that added to the notoriety of the case. A fragile survival of the sensational crime literature of Gilded Age America preserved in its original pictorial wrappers. Published shortly after George's acquittal Canton's Great Tragedy is a valuable contemporary account of a nationally publicized murder trial notable for its connection to the presidential family and its illuminatio. unknown
