Ida Morsch with son Carl and her brother, defendant Phillip Shereshewfsky, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
Ida Morsch with young son Carl and her brother, defendant Phillip Shereshewfsky. Morsch holds her toddler son while he kisses his uncle on the cheek. They are in a courtroom full of people. Shereshewfsky was put on trial for the murder of William E. Simpson, his landlord, who died during a heated argument with Shereshewfsky. The argument between him and Simpson turned violent. After being struck by Shereshewfsky, Simpson hit the pavement and died from a skull fracture. Shereshewfsky is referred to with the surname of "Pearl" in early newspaper articles relating to the trial. Additionally his first name is spelled alternately as "Philip" or "Phillip" in various articles. His family possibly used both last names interchangeably. As for William E. Simpson, his birth year and age are suspect. His census and official records do not correspond to the age the articles cite.
