| BIBLIOGRAPHYThe arrest, trial, and execution of Anna Marie Hahn captured the fancy of the nation’s press. For seventeen months, between August 1937 and December 1938, her story demanded front-page attention. In its day, it was the crime story that everyone wanted to read. Big-city newspapers dispatched their top reporters to the scene, and during the trial the “sob sisters”—female and male reporters who milked the story for every emotion—had a field day.
