• W2910304846 abstract "284 ■ NEW YORK HISTORY voice to the experiences of Dominican women as bodegas, supermarkets, and car services are all largely the domains of men. Overall, Making New York Dominican is an excellent read for those interested in New York City, the history and ethnography of business, labor and labor rights, and gender and ethnic and identity studies. Arsenic and Clam Chowder: Murder in Gilded Age New York By James D. Livingston. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2010, pages, $19.95 Cloth. Reviewed by Jeffrey A. Johnson, Providence College James Livingston’s Arsenic and Clam Chowder offers a helpful glimpse into Gilded Age America. Livingston frames a very specific moment— the acts of accused murderer Mary Alice Fleming—as part of a much broader story of late-nineteenth-century U.S. attitudes toward among other things, wealth, gender, and justice. The tale centers on the events of August 30, 1895, and Evelina Bliss, the heir to a notable New York family fortune built on generations of land acquisition around the state. On that fateful summer day, Bliss had a bowl of clam chowder delivered to her by a pair of ten-year-olds: granddaughter Gracie and her friend Florence King. Bliss’s daughter Mary Alice Fleming, staying six blocks away at the Colonial Hotel, sent the two girls to deliver the leftover chowder. Evelina suffered much of the day and eventually died that evening. The attending physician, Dr. William Bullman, noticed a residue in the soup bowl and suspected foul play. Authorities arrested Mary Alice and she spent the following months in custody at New York City’s notorious prison, the Tombs. Newspapers quickly recounted the fascinating tale and the equally captivating character at its center, the suspicious daughter of the victim, who always dressed in mourning black. Reports quickly confirmed Dr. Bullman’s suspicions: that some kind of contaminant , probably arsenic, may have caused gastritis and was the key factor leading to Evelina’s death. The ensuing trial of the daughter who killed her mother was highly anticipated and widely followed. At the head of the prosecution stood New York City’s Assistant District Attorney, John McIntyre, and his Deputy Book Reviews 285 Assistant District Attorney Seaman Miller. The two focused their case on a number of arguments and key witnesses. Mary Alice, the team contented, longed for and stood to benefit from the significant Livingston family inheritance. Additionally, famed chemist Dr. Walter T. Scheele emerged as one of the crucial witnesses for their case. Arsenic, he claimed, was at levels well beyond the lethal amount, which reinforced the testimony of Dr. Bullman, who confirmed the culprit as an “irritant poison.” Another chemist testifying for the prosecution, Columbia University’s Dr. Henry Mott, also concluded the contents of Evelina’s stomach contained three times the fatal amount of arsenic (101). For their part, the defense, led by Mary Alice’s attorney Charles W. Brooke, needed only to cast “reasonable doubt” in the minds of jurors. Undeniably, Bliss died shortly after ingesting the clam chowder, but Brooke and his colleagues took the opportunity to suggest other alternatives . Her death might have been the result of suicide. They also blamed Evelina’s rather poor health. Although only fifty-three years old, she had a bad heart and weak kidneys. Brooke even posited that Bliss was an “arsenic eater,” like many at the time that used it to improve their skin tone. Finally, the defense attempted to undermine Dr. Scheele’s credibility, going as far as to charge that for reasons of his own professional reputation, he might have planted the arsenic. After five hours of deliberation, the jury handed down a verdict of not guilty. The acquittal was front-page news for both the New York Herald and New York World. When Mary Alice left jail in the rain the next day (she chose to stay overnight to spare her youngest child the cold night air) she retreated to New Jersey. The New York Journal printed a final message from her, reminding readers of her “friendly” relationship with her mother and detailing many of the “foolish” assertions made by the prosecution.
