Kennedy campaigned for the presidency, Chester Burge--slumlord, liquor runner, and the black sheep of the proud (and wealthy) Dunlap family of Macon, Georgia--lay in a hospital bed, recovering from surgery. He listened to the radio as the news reported that his wife had just been murdered. Police soon ruled out robbery as a motive, and suspicion centered upon the Ku Klux Klan, which two weeks earlier had descended upon his house to protest his renting homes in white neighborhoods to black families. Then, on June 1, Chester was charged with the murder, and when the trial finally began, the sweet Southern town of Macon witnessed a story of epic proportions--a tale of white-columned mansions, an insane asylum, real people as \"Southern grotesque\" as the characters of Flannery O'Connor, and a volatile mix of taboo interracial relationships and homosexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Jay Hutto\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eEntitled: American Women, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTitled Husbands, and the Pursuit of Excess\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrowning Glory: American Wives of Princes and Dukes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTheir Gilded Cage: The Jekyll Island Club Members\u003c\/i\u003e.
