In June 1906, Pittsburgh playboy Harry K. Thaw shot and murdered Stanford White, one of America's most famous architects, over a deadly dispute involving White's seduction of Thaw's wife, Evelyn Nesbit. Known as \"the girl on the red velvet swing,\" Evelyn earned this moniker when she described swinging naked on a red velvet swing in Stanford White's New York studio apartment. Stanford White had supposedly drugged and raped the sixteen-year-old Evelyn in the autumn of 1901. The scandal rocked the nation with its lurid details of sex, power, drugs, and insanity. The newspapers and tabloids had a field day with the story and labeled the murder \"The Crime of the Century.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1411696972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781411696976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.08w x 0.49d","brand":"Deborah Paul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991963599103,"sku":"9781411696976","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4ffb7b1-0e3b-49b7-969d-9965c48954ff.jpg?v=1683313254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tragic-beauty-deborah-paul-9781411696976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
