Trial of Isabelle Parker
Once the Long trial concluded, Isabelle Parker became the court's focus. Parker, while initially implicated in Lucina's murder, was only charged with "conducting a house of ill fame." Parker pled guilty to the charge and was sentenced to two to four years imprisonment. Due to her health, officials allowed her to remain free while she petitioned the governor for clemency. Her petition was denied on April 23, 1920, and she began her sentence on April 26. Parker served 2.5 years. She died on September 5, 1922.

For their own or others’ pain,
Show us ways to make a difference
O dear God, make us humane!”
