On a hot August night in 1917, Blanca Errazuriz gunned down her ex-husband John L. de Saulles. At her murder trial, she complained about his cheating with Broadway dancers, spending her inheritance, and corrupting their innocent little boy. A jury of middle aged men, with tears in their eyes, set her free.
Hello Roberta, and congratulations on publishing. I'm curious to know if you traveled to Long Island and/or ViƱa del Mar for your research. Were you able to definitively settle the question of if the Box is still standing? Also, what is the name of the defunct newspaper with a treasure trove of Blanca coverage at the Library of Congress? Thank you, -Valerie
ReplyDeleteHello, Valerie. Actually, due to a number of reasons, I was not able to travel to Long Island, to New York City, to Pennsylvania, or to Vina del Mar while researching this book. I did it all by correspondence with extraordinary librarians and archivists in a number of institutions. My book has an extensive, detailed bibliography. The defunct newspaper was called the New York World Telegram & Sun collection. According to the research librarian at the LofC, it is a jumble of loose papers that have not been catalogued or digitized. As for the house? I've only heard about it from the comments made on this blog.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My first name is Denise.
Understand her only child (son) returned to America. Curious if you might have information about him? Fascinating story. Thank you.
DeleteThank you for the information, Denise, and my apologies regarding your name. As for the murder location, I'm confounded and dying to solve the mystery. I've read Craig's comments and was in touch with him in 2011, but not having seen any proof first hand, for me a question mark still lingers. That aside, I'm looking forward to reading your book. People say OJ Simpson was the trial of the century, but hardly anyone knows there was another.......
