That's a 1924 photo of Julius Edison — the Older Codger — who ran a junk shop in Newark. That's his 12th wife, Betty Bonnett Bodenheim. Julius was a notorious back-stabber. Literally. He and Courtney do not get along.

As I understand the applicable statutes, there are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy. However, it makes no difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another — the classification is for the advantage of the lawyers.

Albuquerque has had about 125 or 130 homicides this year so far. Its disgraceful. Its like NY in the 70's or early 90's when the crack epidemic was raging.
