the murder of Stanford White : 25 June, 1906
Stanford White was one of New York's most famous architects. As he became more popular and in-demand, he also became quite self-indulgent. When he met young Evelyn Nesbit, a Broadway show girl, he knew he had to get to know her better. He began to take care of her widowed mother and her family and as he did so, his attachment to Evelyn grew. Although White was years older than Evelyn, she continued the friendship. But realizing that White would never leave his wife, Evelyn eventually married a young Pittsburgh heir with a dark side who developed a deep hatred for White and what he may or may not have done to Evelyn, setting up the most scandalous murder case of the time.
