Homicide in Chicago (No, not a story from the block.)

This is an incredible link for Chicago history freaks--of which I am one. It's a database of all recorded homicides in Chicago between 1870 and 1930, with detailed search capabilities--circumstances, age of victim, verdicts, outcomes, all that. It's amazing--I logged in to check the online newspapers, and I've whiled away two and a half hours just screwing around with this and reading the cases.



(Yes, I know; I am a freak.)
