       Worst NYC Crime In The 19th Century?

       In 1895, a full year after the discovery of Susie Martin's
       headless and limbless torso ( she had been boiled ), a skull was
       found in Hell's Kitchen, the neighborhood the eleven-year-old
       lived in.   Dr. Edson (who participated at the Ali Trial) did
       not believe the skull was hers, although her mother and brother
       did. Another doctor pointed out that the skull had a Wisdom
       tooth, presumably indicating that the skull's owner was in her
       majority and not a pre-teenaged girl.
       The exponential damage her family suffered was simply awful.
       The crime remains unsolved today.  I'll add more in time.  It
       has my vote as one of the worst and just maybe the worst crime
       committed during the Gilded Age.

       Unfortunately, I can't access editions of the New York World
       from 1906.
       This installment in the series, "Unsolved Mysteries of New York"
       covered the case from 1894 to 1899.
       It was in the Sunday World, July 1, 1906

       I've put together a few articles in a PDF. These articles begin
       with the accusation that one convict made against
       another local criminal.
       The World, as always, was quick to take credit for being
       involved in the 'investigation'. The World took
       credit for their 'investigation' into the 1901 'coming-out' of
       George Damon, among other things.
       Well, this time, it backfired. The tattle-tale's accusations
       were quickly dismissed and the accused man was freed.
       But not for long.  Four days after he was released, he was
       arrested for burglary in Brooklyn ;D
