Do you have any notes regarding the murder of Emma. I was wondering which Senator or Congressman was involved. I was told by my Aunt that Emma was caring for his children as a nanny in Wash. D.C. They later became engaged and for some reason she wished to break the engagement. At which time, he murdered her. Does anyone know of this case circa 1920s?
