This short book recounts the history of one of Louisiana's most notorious (though now mostly forgotten) murder cases, the July 1, 1927 killing of James LeBoeuf in St. Mary Parish, a crime which culminated in the hanging of Ada Bonner LeBoeuf, the victim's wife, and Dr. Thomas E. Dreher, his former close friend, in Franklin on February 1, 1929. Ada and the Doc is a chronological narrative of the events from the discovery of Jim LeBoeuf's body through the double execution nineteen months later, with most of the book devoted to the day-by-day record of the two-week trial of Ada and the Doc, which began on July 25, 1927, barely three weeks after the discovery of the body.
