On the morning of June 14th, 1929, police discovered the battered body of Ohio State University medical student Theora Hix on the outskirts of Columbus. Within a few days, they arrested OSU professor and gold-medal Olympian James H. Snook for murder. When the trial began, reporters jammed the courtroom for the biggest media trial of 1929. But not everything said in the courtroom was printable by the standards of 1920s journalism. Much of Snook?s testimony about what happened on the night of June 13th was not available to the public?that is, not until this book hit newsstands in August, presenting the public with all the details that didn?t make it into the daily papers.Although quickly suppressed, copies of the book survived in private collections. Now, for the first time in over eighty years, readers can once again take a rare glimpse into the courtroom at one of the most sensational media trials of the 20th century.
