More Details
The trial of Frank J. Egan — public official, former police officer, and celebrated personality — and the surrounding murder case captured the imagination of 1930s San Francisco. With as many as fifty news reporters covering San Francisco’s criminal courts, the four major newspapers devoted a small army of reporters to the sensational trial. As a result, much of the investigation was conducted by reporters who sought out every potential witness and lead. The pressure to break the next big headline was paramount.
The trial’s characters and surprising twists and turns are beyond what a fiction crime writer could credibly invent, and the facts in this case remain unique in the annals of crime.
