       Pretty good encapsulation of the crime on Murder By Gaslight.
       Benjamin Nathan, a wealthy stockbroker and philanthropist, was
       found brutally beaten to death in his Manhattan home the morning
       of July 29, 1870. Some jewelry and a small amount of cash were
       stolen and the police were quick to rule the incident a burglary
       gone bad. But if so, how and when did the burglars enter? And
       how could four others staying in the house sleep through the
       violent attack? In fact, the Nathan murder looked more like a
       classic “locked-room” mystery—a mystery that remains unsolved.
