Do you remember the expression “to be yappy” or to “shut your yap” ? Well I’m pretty sure this story is the origin of that. All of North America and the British Empire heard the story and knew of Alice Yapp. The story starts in Liverpool in 1881 and ends in 1911 with a beaker of cyanide at the LeRoi Mine in Rossland, and even goes on later to include a cameo appearance by a diary from Jack The Ripper.
