June 18, 1907: Hazel Schurger accuses neighbor J.J. Brady of poisoning her dog, Baby, with strychnine. Brady was freed after an examination showed that Baby was given a small dose of the poison, incapable of killing the dog immediately as Schurger described.
For Monday, we have a mystery girl having tea with her mysterious doll.
June 18, 1947: Actor Jon Hall admits he was lying with a story that a bullet tore into the propeller of his plane as he and his wife, Frances Langford, were taking off from Clover Field for Tulare.
It's a bit sad when a superannuated actor writes a memoir about what they think they "remember" about old Hollywood. There's no truth to Mamie Van Doren's claim that she knew Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia. It's all imagined.
Mamie Van Doren, age 95, is hallucinating about knowing Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia.
It was a joy and privilege to spend the day with 200 amazing Blsck writers talking about making books and getting them out into the world. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Ready to celebrate at a moment's notice. #MyChampagne
