Won't You See That I Get Justice?

By Terry L. Baldridge

Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight from New York to Paris was the undisputed headline maker of 1927 and 1928. Photographs and information about the aviator and his plane, The Spirit of St. Louis, were front-page news in newspapers all over the world. However, the murder of a three-year-old girl in Argillite, Kentucky, would push Lindbergh's historic flight to the back pages of many Ohio Valley newspapers in early 1928.
The murder of Mary Magdalene Pitts drew the attention of thousands of people across the United States, especially in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Over 19,000 individuals viewed her body on the bandstand in Greenup, Kentucky. To this day, many still visit her grave in the nearby Riverview Cemetery.
This book examines her murder case through the use of official court records, photographs, interviews, and articles from that time. Was Mary Magdalene Pitts able to find justice? That is for you to decide.
