> Dear Maxine, I'd like to research your story. However, I need as good a date as you can find and a better location. Eastern Oregon is a huge area. While the Oregonion has some Western Oregon and Portland cases indexed it's useless for the larger part of the state. Does anyone have a story about a woman accused of murder prior to the 1930's? That's my primary focus.
