June 21, 1889: Mattie Marlette accuses dance teacher Alfred Sullivan of molesting her 3-year-old daughter and shoots him to death. Many people, especially the noirists, prefer the papers of the 1930s and '40s, but I think the 1880s-1910 period is just as fascinating. Los Angeles was a wild, crazy frontier town that was growing up. |
What year is this?
