 Amazon.ca: The Murder of Dr. Chapman: The Legendary Trials of Lucretia Chapman and Her Lover: Books: Linda Wolfe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Lucretia Chapman, a wife, mother and headmistress of a boarding school near Philadelphia, and the man who called himself Lino Espos y Mina, a sociopathic liar who was the catalyst for her husband's murder, are as colorful characters as one is likely to find in true crime tales.
In a demented act of vengeance, Lino viciously maligned Lucretia with newly invented lies in a memoir he wrote before he was hanged, thus making him one of the first people in America to try to make money by publicizing his criminal activities.
The papers called Lino "a villain of no ordinary character" and Lucretia "a woman of violent passions." Wolfe herself concludes that probably Lucretia did not take part in her husband's murder, but that "probably" is going to have to be judged by every reader.
