The story of the death of Freds MeKechnie of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., as told by the police there, closely parallels the celebrated mar der of Grace Brown by Chester Gillette, in New York State, in 1906, the case around which Theodore Dreiser wore his famous novel, "An American Tragedy." Grace Brown also was an expectant mother, and she was drowned by her lover, who wanted to marry another girl, while swimming with him at a lonely lake. The upper photographs show Grace Brown, the scene of her death, and Gil- lelle, who was electrocuted. The lower photographs show Freda McKechnie, the scene of her death, and Robert Edwards, the min who is held by the Wilkes-Barre police for her murder.
