Today in 1902, Emma Holz was sentenced to the SF Magdalen Asylum for perjury (?). She initially accused her dancing master of "a criminal offense," I'm guessing sexual assault, later claimed she lied about it out of fear, then testified it was true. She didn't deserve jail. pic.twitter.com/hCgh4Fa5VT
