Barbara GRAHAM

 
 
 

 

Defendant Barbara Graham sat with icy calm as True testified. The prosecution charged
that it was Mrs. Graham who beat Mrs. Monohan in the face with a pistol and then
pulled a pillow case over her head during the brutal murder. After a series of delays,
the gangster moll was executed June 3, 1955.
