Summary	In 1889, a Brooklyn newspaper, the "Daily Eagle", told a story of midnight hearses and botched operations performed by a scalpel-eager surgeon named Mary Dixon-Jones. The public outrage gave rise to two trials - one for manslaughter and one for libel - that became a late 19th-century sensation.
