“The true case of Lydia ‘Lida’ Beecher, a school teacher, being killed by one of her former students . . . The book flows seamlessly” (Observer Dispatch). In 1914, Poland, New York, was a picturesque slice of small-town America. But that innocence was shattered with the shocking murder of beloved schoolteacher Lida Beecher at the hands of her former student Jean Gianini. At twenty-one years old, Lida wasn't much older than her students. The son of a successful furniture dealer, Jean had all the advantages in life, but he had been labeled as different by all who encountered him. The shocking murder brought the world’s best alienists to the packed Herkimer County Courthouse to try to prove that the teenager’s mental development precluded his guilt. Author Dennis Webster utilizes unprecedented access to court documents to reveal details of the sensational crime never before made known to the public. Includes photos!

Caryl Hopson and Susan R. Perkins collect historic narratives of murder and mayhem in Herkimer County. Herkimer County is steeped in history, from the settlement of the Mohawk Valley by Palatine German settlers to the flood of western migration with the opening of the Erie Canal. But the region also boasts an infamous history of high-profile homicides and crimes. Roxalana Druse murdered her abusive husband and became the last woman to be hanged in New York in 1887. The death of Grace Brown on scenic Big Moose Lake became one of the most famous cases in the country in 1906, inspiring author Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy. Psychological tests of intelligence were admitted into court for the first time in an acquittal of sixteen-year-old Jean Gianini in 1914.

Killing in the Kuyahoora Valley is the true story of a murderous attack in 1914 by a teenager in the village of Poland, New York. Kuyahoora, the native-American name for West Canada Creek, is located in Herkimer County. Poland, in the southern Adirondack foothills, is about 15 miles northeast of Utica. The death of petite schoolteacher Lydia "Lida Lou" Beecher at the hands of a former student proved to be a landmark case--the first to cite intelligence on the same level as insanity in determining a defendant's guilt or innocence. America's courts would never be the same. The viciousness of the crime, the intensity of the trial, and worst of all, the indifference and arrogance of the killer were all reasons why a public mania surrounded the proceedings every step of the way. In the wake of the Chester Gillette-Grace Brown story, the Jean Gianini case assumed the moniker, "Trial of the Century." It's a remarkable, true, and disturbing story of how evil can sneak up on those unaware, how successful family men sometimes hide the darkest of secrets, and how juries can be manipulated by silver-tongued attorneys.

From Little Falls to Frankfort, Herkimer County is no stranger to the seamier side of life. The drowning murder of Grace Brown at Big Moose Lake and the ensuing trial of Chester Gillette was the inspiration for Theodore Dreiser's famous novel An American Tragedy. Medical students from the Fairfield Medical College attempted to rob local graves for cadavers, drawing the ire of local residents, who formed a mob to meet them. Outlaw thieves faced off against New York City detectives in a gun battle at Camp Utica in Old Forge. Hotheaded shootings and Prohibition raids were rampant at the liquor-soaked lumberjack camp of Beaver River Station in Webb. Editors Caryl Hopson and Susan R. Perkins have assembled a collection of narratives that offer a glimpse into the seedy underbelly of Herkimer County's wicked past.

In the winter of 1885 William Druse disappeared from his run-down farm near the tiny village of Jordanville, New York. It took a month for the suspicions of his neighbors to lead the local sheriff to arrest Druse's wife Roxy for killing her husband with an axe. Even more horrific stories circulated of how she forced her son, daughter and nephew to dismember and burn the body. Some even said she fed their father's remains to the pigs. The trial which followed became the center of a newly sensational national press and drew the curious and morbid to the county courthouse in Herkimer. Among them was an aspiring young journalist named W. H. Tippetts who, as Roxy Druse fought for her life, published a short book detailing all of the county's murders from colonial times, culminating in an interview with Roxy herself. Despite a spirited campaign to save her life life, she was hung in Herkimer in 1887 while her daughter Mary received a ten year sentence as accomplice. This novel is based very closely on those events, as seen through the eyes of W.H. Tippetts, but presents a new view of Roxy Druse not as a cold-blooded murder but as a mother who would do anything to save the lives of her children. Also included is Tippetts' own history of the county's numerous murders in the years leading up to 1887.
