Williams marked the first time in the Carolinas that someone was convicted of murder without the discovery of the victim's body. George Tillman was a Palmetto State legislator who was convicted of manslaughter, who was a fugitive from justice, who served 2yrs in jail, and who was ultimately re-elected to his former office by a surprising groundswell of public support. Robert Vance and Samuel Carson were United States legislators who faced each other in an old-fashioned duel, complete with pistols, seconds, and a crowd of spectators. And the case of Tom Dula, while perhaps not of much historical importance, has certainly proven to be of lasting historical interest. The author's previous 'legal' service under Judge Laney, gave her an interest in the important cases and the trials of Pee Wee Gaskins in particular. She was acquainted with members of Ernest Vereen's family and was working for one of the prosecutors in the George King Cutter case, when that trial rocked Charlotte in the early 1960s. And, closest of all it was her son Garry, who was unable to accompany Diane Gabriel on her real estate call the night she was murdered. The remaining cases were chosen simply because the author found them to be of great interest."; 6.25 X 1 X 9.25 inches; 154 pages .
