Description: The tragedies of 1909 that were prosecuted beginning in 1910 became the O.J. Simpson trial of its day in terms of sensation and national intrigue...except there were three Swope v. Hyde trials and a Missouri Supreme Court case that did not conclude until 1917. The New Orleans Bee described the Hyde cases as a history of "spasmodic commotion" through the years. Was Dr. Hyde guilty? You be the juror.
