About Murder on the Rail: A N&W Railroad Murder

On March 19, 1909, Thomas E. Drawbond learned a hard truth; even your closest family couldn't be trusted. Reporting for duty as a night watchman for the Norfolk and Western Railroad, he lay dead before the second train of the night would pass. Just four days later, Howard H. Bragg, his daughter-in-law's brother, would face charges of First Degree Murder. But did Howard commit this crime? Or was it someone else much closer to home? Was Howard a victim of poor legal representation? Or was he a victim of the national movement to purify America, to rid society of "weakminded" individuals? We know what the court decided. What say you?
