Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. [244]-277) and index. Summary:  "In 1878, two years after the death of multi-millionaire A. T. Stewart, his body was stolen from St. Mark’s Churchyard. The ghoulish crime, the bumbling chase for the culprits, the years-long ransom negotiations, and the demise of the Stewart retail empire fed a media frenzy. When his widow eventually exchanged $20,000 for a burlap bag of bones on a country road, not everyone was convinced that “The Merchant Prince of Manhattan” was really home... Completing J. North Conway’s widely acclaimed trilogy of Gilded Age New York City Crime—following King of Heists and The Big Policeman—Bag of Bones combines the era’s affluence, decadence, and corruption with a gruesome deed fit for the tabloids of today."--Book jacket.
