I also think it was wrong for Marion Lawson to make his daughter Stella Lawson clean up the house every day after the torists had left. She was only 13 years old. Fannie was her Aunt the children were her cousins, friends, and playmates. How badly was she affected by that I wonder. Maria

I agree with that Maria. Marion Lawson didn't think much about how that could have affected Stella. It was bad enough for a child that age to endure what she did with the murders, let alone having to clean the place where they died!

Perhaps money meant more to Marion than anything else. He probably saw this tragedy as his opportunity to make it big. I'm guessing neither the Manring's nor Arthur got any of the money. Marion didn't have someone else collect the money for the tours because, first, he would have to trust that person and maybe he didn't trust anyone that much where money was concerned, and second, he'd have to pay someone to sit there to sell tickets and that's more money out of his pocket.
My first inclination is that Marion would not have paid off Charlie's farm. But if he did not pay it off how was it that Arthur was able to move back into the cabin a few years later? Arthur could have rented it from whoever owned it, but if you're going to rent a place why rent that place? A smart move would have been to buy the farm and hold it till prices went up then sell it as a profit.
I just wish he'd of had the foresite to keep it, maintain the buildings and turn it into a museum. Just wishful thinking.

I think it was the greed of money that caused Marion not to entrust anyone else with the money. If he was the only one handling it then he was the only one who knew how much he had taken in therefore no one would know if he skimmed any off the top to keep for himself. Just my opinion here, I could be wrong about the man. It's just that I've heard too many people who knew him personally say he was a greedy old man. Maria

It certainly seems that way.

I haven't read anything that has changed my opinion of Marion as being greedy and manipulative. He didn't seem to have much conscience to do these tours knowing how upset it made a lot of people. I've tried to think if I could have opened up the home for tours and I'm sure I would feel as if I was betraying my family by doing this. Maybe Marion just didn't care about others and did what he wanted to. He saw a chance to make some money since people were coming anyway and he took the chance. Of course if it hadn't been opened up the people would not have kept coming as long as they did.

I agree with all of you. And the first sentence of Brian's post is so right....."Perhaps money meant more to Marion than anything else".
