May 11, 1910: Catherine (or Katherine) Wilson is found stuffed into a packing crate at 1054 Clayton St. and suspicion focuses on a Japanese man supposedly hired to help her move in. The stories are incomplete, so it’s unclear why attention focused on Genkeyo/Genkyo/Gynko Mitsunaga. He was evidently convicted despite protests that he was innocent. It would be interesting to examine the Denver papers’ coverage and see what role attitudes toward Japanese played in the investigation.
