From the start, the story had everything - celebrity, lust and  rage.

On June 25, 1906, New York City's leading architect and man-about-town was shot to death while attending a musical performance at Madison Square Garden's rooftop theater. Harry K. Thaw, eccentric heir to a Pittsburgh railroad fortune, had pulled the trigger that ended Stanford White's life, marking the final act in a long struggle between the two men over Thaw's young wife, the model and showgirl Evelyn Nesbit. Coined the "murder of the century" by the press, the crime was reported "to the ends of the civilized globe." One tabloid increased its daily circulation by 100,000 thanks to detailed coverage of the trial - much of which focused not on the victim or the accused, but on the fascinating Evelyn Nesbit and her life of glamour, wealth and tragedy.
