Carrie Brown : Murder In The East River Hotel

From NJ state archives today:

We finally had an opportunity to review the records of Governor Voorhees.  It is a small collection.

There is no outgoing correspondence after 1898.  We quickly reviewed the incoming correspondence for 1901-1902 and could not find any from Governor Odell on this subject or from George Damon.

The 1895 Barbieri ( actually, Marie Barbella) and 1898 Kennedy ( Dr. Samuel, and actually a dentist) trials
were as sensational as the 1897 Guldensuppe.  Sliney confessed to Inspector Byrnes in 1892.

Friend and Fred House were two of Kennedy's attorneys for the first of the dentist's three trials.

Assuming for a minute here that the NY Times reporter was told the following....I wonder what the reasoning would be
behind this 'rule'.  I recognize that the word 'rule' is between scare quote marks.




* If we assume that a woman was 'finished' with her client, would she leave the hotel and loiter outside for another client?

* It seems draconian, even for 1891, since men usually left the rooms they rented after they were 'finished' with the females
they'd brought to the rooms....but a woman couldn't or that it was considered an undesirable practice.

Alright, sent them an email explaining our interest, I attached copy of Voorhees' letter to Odell to show that he was actually involved.

Hopefully they'll have something.

I can do it, no problem. Just didn’t want to bother them if you’d already tried
