:STORY
Denise Whipple found out that her husband George was cheating
on her with his business partners wife. Being a very jealous
woman, she went over to the La Farge house herself and saw her
husband come out of the house. That was all she could take, so
an hour later she returned and went in on the pretense of a visit
and strangled her.
Unknown to Denise, the La Farge maid Ruth Jeffreys was upstairs
and heard the whole affair. She heard a woman yell at Mrs. La Farge
and then heard the struggle. Being a fearful person, she did
not want to be involved in the matter. When she found out that
Mr. La Farge had been charged with the crime, she sent him the
note.

One of the cabbies remembers taking Frida Gospoten to the La Farge

poor woman has no strength at all Sir", he tells you, "She couldn't
even move the wheelchair herself".
