Archives Lecture: Without Justice: Two Victorian Era Unsolved Murders � Linda Eversole

Bakery owner Agnes Bings died around 8 pm on the night of September 29, 1899, the victim of a �Jack the Ripper� type attack. Two days later, a second murder followed. Fortunately, correspondence, the reports of the undercover Pinkerton operatives, and local detectives� notebooks have survived. They provide compelling details on life in Victoria at the turn of the 20th century with accounts of undercover work in hotels, saloons and brothels.

Linda J. Eversole is a long-established museum and heritage consultant and the author of Stella: Unrepentant Madam and Without Justice. She is a Board member of the Friends of the BC Archives.
