Incidentally, in rebuilding the face of this murdered girl, Captain Williams was only duplicating the work he had done in 1916 in the case of Dominick La Rosa.
So novel was Captain Williams' work that it was fictionalized by Anthony Abbot, best-selling writer of detective novels in his About the Murder of a Startled Lady. I, myself, used it to good advantage in a short story entitled Corpus Delicti, one of a series now current in J. David Stern's Philadelphia Record. Quite probably other writers have used it to advantage too.
