Beneath Austin�s shiny veneer lies a dark past; filled with murder; lechery and deceit. Legislators; lawmen and lawyers killed; robbed and lied just as well and just as often as the drifters and grifters preying on newcomers. The nation�s first known serial killer made his debut in Austin in the form of the Servant Girl Annihilator; who is still rumored to be Jack the Ripper. After the Willis brothers murdered their neighbors over rumored buried gold; a lynch mob hanged the boys from live oaks on present-day Sixth Street. Freshman representative Louis Franke died after he was robbed and beaten on the steps of the statehouse. Author Richard Zelade delivers a fascinating look at the seedier side of Austin history.
