	COHEN, PATRICIA CLINE. The Murder of Helen Jewett: The Life and Death of a Prostitute in Nineteenth-Century New York. New York: Alfred A Knopf 1998. Book of the Month Club Edition. Hardbound 8vo (about 8'' to 9.5'' tall) 432 pages. Index. Description: In 1836, the murder of a young prostitute made headlines in New York City and around the country, inaugurating a sex and death sensationalism in news reporting that haunts us today. From her beginning as a servant girl in Maine, Helen Jewett refashioned herself, using four successive aliases, into a highly paid courtesan. She invented life stories for herself that helped her build a sympathetic clientele among New York City's elite. But she met her match, and her nemesis, in a young clerk called Richard Robinson. He was the son of an established Connecticut family, he was intense, arrogant, and given to posturing. He became Helen's lover in a tempestuous affair and ten months later was arrested for her murder. He stood trial in a five day courtroom drama that ended with his acquittal amid the cheers of hundreds of fellow clerks and other spectators. Robinson then disappeared into the Texas frontier under a new name. The author, through meticulous research, has traced his life there and examined the many twists and turns of the lingering mystery of Helen's murder. Includes 16 illustrations and 2 maps. BINDING/CONDITION: paper covered boards; a Very Good book, with a Near Fine dust jacket.

	COHEN, PATRICIA CLINE. The Murder of Helen Jewett: The Life and Death of a Prostitute in Nineteenth-Century New York. New York: Alfred A Knopf 1998. Book of the Month Club Edition. Hardbound 8vo (about 8'' to 9.5'' tall) 432 pages. Index. Description: In 1836, the murder of a young prostitute made headlines in New York City and around the country, inaugurating a sex and death sensationalism in news reporting that haunts us today. From her beginning as a servant girl in Maine, Helen Jewett refashioned herself, using four successive aliases, into a highly paid courtesan. She invented life stories for herself that helped her build a sympathetic clientele among New York City's elite. But she met her match, and her nemesis, in a young clerk called Richard Robinson. He was the son of an established Connecticut family, he was intense, arrogant, and given to posturing. He became Helen's lover in a tempestuous affair and ten months later was arrested for her murder. He stood trial in a five day courtroom drama that ended with his acquittal amid the cheers of hundreds of fellow clerks and other spectators. Robinson then disappeared into the Texas frontier under a new name. The author, through meticulous research, has traced his life there and examined the many twists and turns of the lingering mystery of Helen's murder. Includes 16 illustrations and 2 maps. BINDING/CONDITION: paper covered boards; a Very Good book, with a Near Fine dust jacket.
