These images relate to a sensational event that occurred in New York in 1872: the murder of the financier Fisk also known as "Diamond Jim" and "Jubilee Jim" by his former business associate Stokes. McDade's summary of the case: "Stokes and Fisk become engaged in a bitter legal battle which originated when Stokes stole Fisk's mistress Josie Mansfield. In retaliation Fisk had charged Stokes with embezzling oil company funds; Stokes replied with a charge of false imprisonment. Then Mansfield threatened to publish letters from Fisk revealing some of his transactions. On January 5 an injunction was issued restraining the publication of the letters; on the next day Josie Mansfield was exposed to a humiliating cross-examination in police court on her relations with Fisk. Stokes in a rage followed Fisk to the Broadway Central Hotel where he shot him on the stairs. After two trials the state could only convict Stokes of third-degree manslaughter." No copies of any of these cartes on OCLC; no sale records in RareBookHub since 1919. McDade The Annals of Murder annotation to entry 917. unknown
