As a Facebook Oxford, MA. group member and former resident
of Oxford,MA., I like to contribute what I have or can find that relates to the town and citizens, both past and present, not just from my own photos and experiences in the short time I lived there. I culled the story below from an on-line copy of
Startling Detective Adventures, vol.5 no.26, July, 1930. It was published a year after the events of this particular crime. I've tried in vain to find more references but have only been able to find a (not so convincing) follow-up article from the
Orlando Sentinel, from 1996. Mind you, I'll rely on the magazine's article from 1929. Asking other group members: does anyone have any other infomation about this or know where to find any? Does the Allen Farm still exist, to-day? The building in the picture does look familiar but I can't place it, geographically. At any rate, have a read. And to note: the photo on the second page was staged for the article. All other photos are believed to be authentic.
