A Torn Page Condemns Him: The Murder of Marilyn Patterson

A young bookkeeper is found dead on a frozen embankment with no wounds and her coat buttoned to the collar, but tucked in her breast pocket is the left half of a Chinese pharmacy ledger she could not read. That torn page linked her to a nearby dispensary, a colleague’s wardrobe, and a confession that would not appear for twelve years - how did a ledger page condemn her killer?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline from the morning Marilyn Patterson’s body was found through the discovery of the torn ledger page, the witnesses and suspects interviewed, and the trail that tied the fragment to a local herbal dispensary - a question remains: where was the other half of the page, and what did it prove?
Person: Marilyn Patterson
Date: December 11, 1923
Location: Meridian Canal embankment near Calder Street footbridge
Age: 22
Occupation: Bookkeeper
- Marilyn Patterson was found at 6:30 a.m. on December 11, 1923, lying on her back near the Calder Street footbridge.
- Her gloves were on and her handbag was looped over her forearm; her coat was buttoned to the collar against the December cold.
- Folded once and tucked into the left breast pocket of her coat was the left half of a page torn from a Chinese-language pharmacy ledger.
- Marilyn had arrived in San Francisco in spring 1922 with forty dollars and rented a room at Arden Row for $4.50 a week.
- Colleague Stanley Hicks was 29 years old and had been hired eight months before Marilyn; he had invited her to dinner twice that autumn, both times declined.
