Wow! Psychochotic killers back then didn't mess around! Webster was tried and executed,..

Neither did justice. Perhaps that is why we have so many freaks these days as compared to the occasional freak back then.

This lady was a piker compared to H. H. Holmes = the serial killer who terrorized young women who attended the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, also known as "The Columbian Exposition. He designed and built a hotel where he could murder his unsuspecting women "guests". You can learn more about him here:

And here is the book written about his horrific exploits:

PBS ran an exceptional documentary about H.H. Holmes Entitled "The Devil in the White City" about a year ago, (you may be able to watch it online)this is how I found out about it and ended up reading the book. Amazing story.
