In the summer of 1906, factory worker Grace Brown, pregnant and desperate, left with Chester Gillette for the Adirondacks—only Grace drowned and Chester returned alone, claiming accident. Her pleading letters, bruises, and his evasive behavior turned a private scandal into a national murder trial.

The jury convicted Gillette amid questions of class, motive, and evidence; his 1908 execution and Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy kept the story alive, but doubts about whether it was accident or murder remain.
