Pulp Non-Fiction: A Celebration Of The Pioneers Of True Crime
The Cleveland Kaber Conspiracy By Marjorie Wilson
Episode 114, remastered from the True Crime Historian Vault
Back in the golden ages of newspapers, it was common for them to publish serialized novels of romance, adventure,and intrigue, but true crime serials were not quite so common. But here is a novella-length story published in nineteen chapters in five parts by newspapers in 1921 when Eva Kaber was standing trial for leading a plot to murder her invalid husband. It’s a crazy, crazy story of Italian assassins, fortune tellers, and Pinkerton detectives conspiring with amateur spies to bring an elaborate murder plot to light.
