I think James had a pretty good alibi.

They had a pretty good suspect too.

And it wasn't James Maybrick!

The new The Town That Dreaded Sundown is supposedly out but it is reportedly about a fictional copycat (or maybe the reactivated nonagenarian original killer) rather than the 1946 case.

It was the first time I heard there even was a suspect for all the murders.

That was informative May-thanks for the heads-up.

History Detectives Special Investigations
Texas Servant Girl Murders

"In 1885, six African-American servants and two white society women were killed in Austin, Texas - almost all bludgeoned with an ax, dragged from their beds and raped. As quickly as the killings started, they stopped. No killer was ever identified. Desperate to find someone to blame, the authorities first rounded up hundreds of black men. Later, they pointed the finger at a white man, James Philips, whom they accused of murdering his teenage bride. Although Philips was eventually acquitted, the trial was akin to the OJ Simpson trial, with sensational, lurid details spilling out in court. After the furor and panic died down, so did the memory of the killings. Can the History Detectives solve these murders? They pore over the records and apply cutting-edge police techniques to determine who killed the servant girls of Austin."

Thanks Roy

You're welcome

Did I black out or did they leave Nichols out?

Yeah Stan, it's those knockout drops your home nurse gives you. While you're out cold she gets hold your Visa card and takes her grandkids down to ChuckECheese.

OK thanks Livia. I was a slightly concerned that Christina Ricci might be a little too sexy for the part but she does have the crazy eyes going anyway. At least she's approaching sexy when she fattens up to a size 2.
