Clock Strikes Thirteen-Mildred A. Wirt Benson

The nation's capital was astir at the untimely and curious death of the young wife of the Attorney General, Edmund Trevor.

The evidence may have been largely circumstantial, but the court of public opinion appeared to be content and willing to close the matter. But not everyone was satisfied with the outcome.
