The age of mass media was just taking hold, and the newspapers - with the submarine telegraph at their disposal - turned the case into an international cause celebre. The crime itself, a corrupt investigation and the tainted trial that followed enthralled a vast, sensation-hungry public, but despite far-reaching scrutiny, some essential questions remained unanswered.
