I came across and interesting comment about this historic event in a work of non-fiction about crime in Ireland in the 1880's. It was in regard to an official-government-investigation, or lack thereof, of a murder of a family of five. It was in a footnote (or are they called end-notes now?) and it read as follows. "Rather similiar to President Nixon's announcement on August 29, 1972 that he had already directed a staff member to carry out 'a complete investigation of all the leads which might involve any present members of the White House staff' in the Watergate affair. The 'investigator' he named, himself subsequently jailed, admitted later that he learned of his supposed Inquiry on television" The end-note says the source was Hearings of Senate Select Committee-June 25, 1973.
