SUMMARY:Crime Exhibit (repeating exhibit) with Special Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence County has been home of many notorious crimes\, especially unsolved ones. \n\n\n\nJoin us for our new exhibit “CRIME”\n\n\n\nBegins Aug 22. Repeats on Aug 24\, Aug 26\, Aug 29\, Sept 2 from 11am-4pm. \n\n\n\nWith Special Lectures on August 26 and Sept 2 at 1pm. \n\n\n\nAUGUST 26 Special Lecture @ 1 pm by Intern on the Torso/Swamp Murderers and the Black Hand \n\n\n\nSEPTEMBER 2 Special Lecture @ 1 pm by Intern on Irene Schroeder and the current crime statistics \n\n\n\nTHE EXHIBIT\n\n\n\nThis exhibit\, put together by a group of interns at the society\, focuses on three different groupings of crimes as well as the current crime statistics\, hoping to open discussion on what our community has done and is doing to combat crime. \n\n\n\nTORSO & SWAMP MURDERSThe first focus is on the Torso Murderers and Swamp Murderers\, located in West Pittsburg. The connections of these deaths with Cleveland\, Ohio once stumped famous investigator\, Eliot Ness. Information surrounding these unidentified bodies is now being uncovered and put on display for the public to see. \n\n\n\nBLACK HANDFollowing these murders is the infamous Black Hand\, which surrounded their narrative around the Hillsville community. With the murders of the game warden\, Seeley Houk\, and William Duff\, these murders began to shed light on an mafia-like organization that existed within the county. On display\, will be testimonials of those involved in the Pinkerton Detective Agency-led trials of 1907. \n\n\n\nIRENE SCHROEDERWithin the early part of the 1930s\, times were fluid\, and many lived for the thrill. That was so for the Bonnie and Clyde-like couple of Irene Schroeder and Glenn Dague as they robbed stores within the area and killed police officer Brady Paul. It was not until the two were apprehended in a shootout in Arizona that they were brought back to New Castle and sentenced to death by electrocution\, making Schroeder the first female to be executed in this way in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\n21st CENTURYUnfortunately\, as we enter into the 21st century\, crime is still evident within our community. Through the work of our District Attorneys and other leaders within our county\, we are now battling evolved forms of crimes. \n\n\n\nGET YOUR TICKETS TODAY! Only $5 / person\n\n\n\nHOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS \n\n\n\n\nTelephone the Society 724-658-4022\n\n\n\nPURCHASE ONLINE \n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR on event days\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes this sound interesting?
