A Dry Glove in the Rain: The Murder of Frances Sheridan

A county surveyor found a brown calfskin right-hand glove sitting completely dry on a rain-soaked coal chute grate behind Liang Brothers Imports - and the glove matched a purchase in Frances Sheridan’s ledger. A dried chrysanthemum stem, eleven inches long and wound with red silk, lay beside it; Frances vanished after a routine errand and her body was found with blunt force trauma two days later. How did a perfectly dry glove appear in the rain and what connection did a misidentified herbal tea have to her death?

In this episode, we recount the sequence of discoveries from the missing ledger entry to the coroner’s report, the surveyed glove, and the misread herbal name that lay unnoticed for fifty years, asking whether a small, steady harm may have helped silence Frances the night she disappeared.

Person: Frances Sheridan
Date: December 8-10, 1926
Location: Packett Alley behind Liang Brothers Imports, Carnell Street residence
Cause of death: Blunt force trauma (per Dr. Wallace Pruett)
Evidence found: Brown calfskin right-hand glove; dried chrysanthemum stem 11 inches long wrapped with red silk

- The glove was a brown calfskin right-hand glove found dry on a wet iron coal chute grate on December 9, 1926.
- The chrysanthemum stem found next to the glove measured eleven inches and was wound three times with red silk thread.
- Frances Sheridan had kept a personal ledger since 1904 and recorded a monthly purchase at Liang Brothers Imports for three years.
- Frances’s ledger contained a purchase of a glove in October 1925 and lacked any entry for December 8, 1926.
- Dr. Wallace Pruett recorded blunt force trauma as the cause of death and noted a misidentified herbal name that was not corrected in the report for fifty years.
