Crazy Coincidence?
Silver Dollar Tabor was tragically scalded to death on September 18, 1925. According to police reports, she had named her killer on the back of a photograph in her apartment. She wrote, “In case of my death, this man is directly or indirectly responsible."
The police actually brought the businessman and other witnesses in for an inquisition. Although Silver Dollar had explicitly accused him, and he had been seen at the scene of the crime, he was not arrested, and the police named her scalding an accident.
It could not have been an accident. The man was the owner of an illegal speakeasy bar that she frequented, and was also part of the Italian mob. Why didn’t the police believe the victim, Silver Dollar? Why was she accused of being drunk and high and having an accident that scalded her to death?
