Murder! Mystery! Outrage! Victor Hall, young railway depot master,
married to the strikingly older widow of his former employer, was
shot dead in his store just hours after someone torched his
competitor's business. The sheriff, state investigator, and
railroad detectives suspected Hall's business rival until strange
circumstances, rumors of poisoning her first husband and of a
freakish love interest fixed suspicion on the innocent widow. Even
her own Pinkerton detective turned against her! Arsons, frenzy, and
conspiracies forced Mrs. Hall's arrest for murder. Civil unrest
forced her exile until trial. Cabal, perjury and media sensation
secured conviction and sent the widow to prison leaving daughters
to fend for themselves. Reason returned, but convoluted politics
barred her release. Embarrassment repressed the statewide sensation
that newspapers predicted to become ."" . . one of the most famous
criminal cases in Virginia.""
