Death of a Source

Lies can be dangerous--they can also be deadly!

Martha Pease was a glutton for publicity. She would no anything to get her name in the paper--even lie.

She lied about corruption in the state's highest courts, about politicians who were "on the take," whispered about the "inside information" she had on the Mafia.

So when Martha announced that she had the biggest story of her career, no one believed her. And when she said her life was in danger, no one cared.

And when she was gunned down in a quiet street, Martha Pease, for the first and last time in her life, became front-page news.
