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. 606 $aTrials (Murder)$zRhode Island$zNewport 606 $aWorking class$zMassachusetts$zFall River$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTrials (Murder) 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory. 676 $a345.73/02523 676 $a347.3052523 700 $aKasserman$b David Richard$01055129 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454921603321 996 $aFall River outrage$92488288 997 $aUNINA
