the attic . . . pt 1

May 25, 1931

"Dear friend Bruce,

Your letter received and was mighty glad to hear from you. I read in our papers here that the excitement that prevailed in Washington. My only reaction to the reports was, that there should be a law against the likes of Huddell carrying any books in his pocket. One of our men here said that 'he must have had a pocket book full of our money in his pocket.'"

Welcome back to Call Edna, the podcast where I solve my great-great grandfather’s prohibition era murder.

This week we're finally going through Bruce's materials from the attic, Westbrook Pegler's papers, and a court file from the National Archives. This is part one of a two part episode so stayed tuned...

yours, edna.
