Crimes of the Scoundrel Clarence V.T. RichesonJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 74 explores the tawdry case of Clarence Virgil Thompson Richeson, who was apparently an eloquent preacher and a rising star in the Baptist community, as well as a notorious scoundrel. The tangled web of deceit he wove between three women finally ended in the mysterious death of the unmarried mother of his expected child. Richeson would later confess that he gave her poison, telling her that it was medicine to induce an abortion. This case is historically significant in that it marks the first time in America that a man was sentenced to death without a trial, but solely on a confession. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

Family Tragedy in Rising SunJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 89. In a lot of these stories from the old newspapers, the press coverage and the locale itself often take on the attributes of characters in the drama. In this case, the town of Rising Sun, Indiana, seems to evolve as the story progresses. When one of the town matrons, the spinster Lizzie Gillespie is found assassinated in her parlor, townfolk tell reporters she had no enemy in the world and there could be no logical reason for the murder. Then they start thinking of things, but they don't want to name names. And when Lizzie's twin brother Jim goes to trial, he and his co-defendants fear lynching, but the town only wants to be entertained by the scandal. While I recognize the tragedy of a life lost, I find a subtle comedy in this tale of intrigue, betrayal, and murder. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

The Cincinnati Tanyard MurderJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 17 is a report from Lafcadio Hearn, on of my favorite Pioneers of True Crime. Although he became better known late in his career for his books on travel and on Japanese legends and ghost stories, Lafcadio Hearn began his professional writing career as a staff correspondent for the Cincinnati Enquirer. He was such a devotee of Edgar Allen Poe that he carried the nickname The Raven, given to him by an early mentor, throughout his life. The devotion shows in much of his writing, including this account of what's commonly known to local history as “the tanyard murder” in 1874. His account of the crime helped, I'm sure, make it one of the most well-known of Cincinnati's historical murders. Hearn is also well-known for his essays about the poorest parts of Cincinnati.Even though the author was visually impaired (he carried with him both a magnifying glass and a telescope), Hearn's account of this ghastly crime contains graphic details of the discovery of the body and the autopsy.The tanyard was situated next to a soap factory that had caught fire the previous night and attracted a crowd of 50,000, the newspapers said, to watch the massive flames. Such was the mood of the city that Hearn begins his report with a quote from William Shakespeare's tragic Hamlet.True crime history is not just about reviving the stories of America's scandals, scoundrels, and scourges, but also about exploring the history of true crime as a genre. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

The papers never said, but I can't help but think the Millen-Faber Gang fancied themselves to be the Dillingers of the East Coast. The story grabbed my attention because of the way Norma Brighton Millen presented herself after her capture. Is she the innocent dupe as she proclaimed? Or was she using her pretty face and sophisticated air to disguise her inner bad girl and get off easy? Hear about more FEMMES FATALE!!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

From True Crime Pioneer Edmund PearsonJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 25 takes place in 1849, a week before Thanksgiving, in a laboratory at the Harvard Medical College while the famed physician and author Oliver Wendell Holmes was lecturing in the room directly above. The victim was one of Boston's wealthy elite on a mission to collect a bet from a geology professor. The Parker-Webster case, as it came to be known, was notable because it was one of the first murder cases where circumstantial forensic evidence was used in a trial.

The 1896 Klaettke Family Massacre Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 42 is the sad tale of a family of seven shot and killed by the crazed father, who then turned the gun on himself. It's rare that we do an episode about a murder/suicide, because you rarely get to hear about the drama that led up to the tragedy, because there's no one left to tell the story. There are still a lot of unanswered--and over-answered--questions in this one, but I like how the reporter included the details of the family history and their daily lives into the narrative, although I do think they've put too much emphasis on the role of the man's politics in his decision to commit this horrible act.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

Gnadenhutten, Ohio CountryMarch 8, 1782The name meant "Huts of Grace." It was a Moravian missionary village where Lenape and Mohican converts had embraced Christianity, European dress, and pacifism. They refused to take sides in the American Revolution. Both sides hated them for it. When 160 Pennsylvania militiamen rode into the Tuscarawas Valley that March, they found unarmed families harvesting corn. The militia smiled, shook hands, and promised safe passage to Fort Pitt. Then they bound their hosts, separated men from women and children, and held a vote. The result was ninety-six dead — bludgeoned with a cooper's mallet, scalped, and burned with their village. Two boys survived. Congress opened an investigation, then quietly killed it. Tecumseh remembered. The Lenape remembered. The mound where the dead are buried is still maintained. The descendants still come every March.
