This 19th-Century Morristown Murderer Was Turned Into A Wallet, Historians Say

In 1833, French immigrant Antoine Le Blanc was hanged on the Morristown Green before a crowd of more than 12,000 after being convicted of brutally murdering a local family. What followed was equally disturbing: his skin was reportedly fashioned into wallets, purses, and other souvenirs, some of which historians believe may still be tucked away in Morristown homes today.
