About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The city’s coroner, Patrick Riordan, was trying to fast-talk himself out of charges that he showed up for work drunk. He had been accused of sneering at bodies during an accident eight hours after the crash.
#2 Mors was a nurse at a German Odd Fellows home in Yonkers. He was asked to help with the removal of some of the sickest residents, and he decided to poison them. He first tried arsenic, but the elderly man he selected did not die in an orderly fashion.
#3 Chloroform was a popular sedative and sleep aid. It was used to treat hiccupping, seasickness, colic, vomiting, and diarrhea. It was also used to rob occupied homes, chloroform being a potent poison.
#4 The more doctors used chloroform, the more they realized that it was a capricious kind of anesthesia. It was riskier for children, the elderly, and alcoholics, but it also killed healthy adults.

Mors was a nurse at a German Odd Fellows home in Yonkers. He was asked to help with the removal of some of the sickest residents, and he decided to poison them. He first tried arsenic, but the elderly man he selected did not die in an orderly fashion.

The more doctors used chloroform, the more they realized that it was a capricious kind of anesthesia. It was riskier for children, the elderly, and alcoholics, but it also killed healthy adults.
#5
The police were able to charge Mors with the murder of fourteen elderly patients, but he claimed that he had done it to end their suffering. He hadn’t liked the patients, and had been ordered to help them die by the superintendent.
#6
The case of Texas multimillionaire William Rice, who died in 1900, is a good example of how an autopsy could have helped the police solve a murder. His wife’s family, who were eager to get their hands on his money, hired a New York lawyer to forge a will that would divide his assets among them.
#7
The Rice case was a mess of contradictions and confusion, and it was all because of the valet’s confession and the forged documents. The case went to trial, and
