[edit] Historical Accuracy
This Article states the murderer's name was Julian Carlston, not Carlton:
WILD NEGRO CHEF KILLS 6, WOUNDS 4; Former Mrs. C.H. Cheney of Chicago Murdered in Cottage of Frank Lloyd Wright. SLAYS ONE AFTER THE OTHER Sets Fire to Building and One More Victim May Be In the Ruins. Special to The New York Times.. New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Aug 16, 1914. p. 12 (1 page)
The following article indicates that 5 were murdered, not 7, though this is most likely a mistake. This article uses the name Carlton: $500,000 FIRE IN BUNGALOW.; Wisconsin Architect Loses Home of Valuable Prints. New York Times. Apr 22, 1925. p. 9 Hobga (talk) 04:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- : Biographies and other archival materials state that the murderer's last name was Carlton. Another article written after the fires was transcribed and placed on the PBS website, on this page. The transcribed article on the PBS site is from the Aug. 20, 1914 edition of the Weekly Home News, the newspaper of Spring Green, Wisconsin. So, the names must have been confirmed by that time. The article that you cited from the New York Times appears to have been written after the murders, but before the last victim died. So, 6 were confirmed dead immediately, but the number was eventually 7, the following day I beleive. I looked at one of the biographies--Frank Lloyd Wright: A Biography, by Meryle Secrest (1992, HarperPerenniel, 1993; p. 219-220)--to determine which person died last, but the author did not state it.
- The April 22, 1925 article in The New York Times refers to the second fire at Taliesin that consumed the residence wing (that fire was probably caused by a wiring problem and did not result in any deaths). It looks as if the name Carlton was considered correct by 1925. So it appears that Carlston was a spelling error when the news first broke. Marykeiran (talk) 23:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
My friend and I were debating the pronunciation of this word. That guide is completely worthless, in my opinion. Can someone add an audible pronunciation, or something? Thanks, MKultra
- I've heard the word pronounced "Tal-ee-see-an", but Frank Lloyd Wright pronounced the word Tally-ess-in. Marykeiran 22:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disambig?
If there's enough use for a disambiguation page, I'd think you'd want links back from the various articles... dm 01:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
