Public Justice --Conclusion --Bibliography --IndexFall River Outrage recounts one of the most sensational and widely reported murder cases in early nineteenth-century America. When, in 1832, a pregnant mill worker was found hanged, the investigation implicated a prominent Methodist minister. Fearing adverse publicity, both the industrialists of Fall River and the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church engaged in energetic campaigns to obtain a favorable verdict. It was also one of the earliest attempts by American lawyers to prove their client innocent by assassinating the moral character of the female victim. Fall River Outrage provides insight in American social, legal, and labor history as well as women's studies.Trials (Murder)Rhode IslandNewportWorking classMassachusettsFall RiverHistoryTrials (Murder)Working classHistory.345.73/02523347.3052523Kasserman David Richard1664017MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808012403321Fall River outrage4021813UNINA
