A reporter in Chicago in the 1920s, Watkins covered the popular trials of two female murderers– Belva Gaertner and Beulah Annan– who both blamed their actions on the negative effects of drink and jazz. John Kander and Fred Ebb’s hit musical Chicago was based on the play of the same name by Maurine Dallas Watkins.
