Powell's Hair being "Filed?" What's THAT about?!
Found an article in the Baltimore Clipper the other day stating that Powell sported a "different appearance" in the courtroom - his hair being "filed".
I have gone through every Victorian manual and dictionary - yes including Barber's manuals, available... any suggestion as to what having one's hair "filed" involved? About this time, Lew Powell had been given what we today call a "crew cut" - could that be what this is? Just curious.... Anyone really know what this meant? Thanks!
