Australia in the 1890s was not an easy place to live, and there was no exception for Martha Needle. She grew up in extreme poverty and suffered an unfortunately wide range of abuse which then continued to her adulthood. Eventually, she found a stroke of good luck when a man named Otto took pity on her and offered her a chance at a decent life. However, when this new livelihood is threatened, Martha will do whatever it takes to preserve it.Tea of the Day: Taj Mahal Black TeaTheme Music by Brad FrankCheck out Bite-Sized Crime here! Sources:The Secret Art of Poisoning - The True Crimes of Martha Needle, the Richmond Poisoner by Samantha Battamshttps://murderpedia.org/female.N/n/needle-martha.htmThe Age - 24 Oct 1988, Mon · Page 2https://www.newspapers.com/image/120604507/The Age - 12 Oct 1894, Fri · Page 4https://www.newspapers.com/image/570891255/

April 9th: Martha Needle Born (1863) Crimes from a long ago era, while interesting, often feel unfinished by the passing of time and the deaths of those involved in the case. On April 9th 1863 a woman was born who, when she took her last breath, she also took with her a deeper knowledge of her crimes and the motive for her murders.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Needle, https://murderpedia.org/female.N/n/needle-martha.htm, https://www.oldtreasurybuilding.org.au/martha-needle/, https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/from-the-archives-1894-the-last-days-of-martha-needle-the-richmond-poisoner-20201016-p565sn.html, https://australiasdarkheart.weebly.com/martha-needle.html, https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/true-stories/mentally-ill-or-clever-and-calculating-the-thrilling-story-of-aussie-woman-who-poisoned-her-entire-family/news-story/929c1a55323b325bd71fefddd4d3251c, https://cv.vic.gov.au/stories/a-diverse-state/felon-families/martha-needle/

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: True Crime SA style 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:04:17 SA Drink Of The Week This week's SA Drink Of The Week is a KI Spirits Gin. 00:09:48 Dr Samantha Battams and Alison Oborn On the 15th of July 1920, Alexander Newland Lee was hanged by the neck until death at what is now called the Old Adelaide Gaol. It was South Australia's 53rd execution and it promted calls to end capital punishment. Lee was 31 years of age and the poisonings he was accused of carrying out, bore an uncanny similarity to those carried out by his aunty, Martha Needle, in Melbourne, which we discussed with Dr Samantha Battams when she released her book, The Secret Art Of Poisoning, back in 2019 on episode 279. Tonight, we are focussing on Lee because Samantha has now released a book about his crimes and trial, The Rhynie Poisoning Case, The true crimes of Alexander Newland Lee. Welcome to the podcast for your third time. And we're also joined by a former guest of the podcast, Alison Oborn from Adelaide Haunted Horizons, because not only has she read Samatha's book, but she's an author in her own right (Ghosts Of The Past - Adelaide Gaol Ghosts), conducts ghost tours in Old Adelaide Gaol, and is world renowned for her research and storytelling about dark crimes in South Australia. Welcome back, Alison. Samantha, let's start at the beginning and get an overview of the Alexander Newland Lee story. We know it took place in Rhynie, a small town about an hour north of Adelaide before you get to Auburn and Clare. Alison, what are the striking passages that stood out for you? How similar are the Lee poisonings to the Martha Needle poisonings - and do you think Martha inspired Alexander? How much ambiguity was there at the time about his guilt? I ask this because reflecting on this story in 2022, we're more aware than ever that every week in Australia, one woman is murdered by her parter or ex-partner. Without that knowledge, you're tempted to say, maybe this was an accident. How did you get so many slabs of narrative between characters, especially Lee and his love, Dolly, and the publican and his wife? I want to turn to the focus on the trial and then his time in Adelaide Gaol. What were the notable events of the trial? Alison, what would life have been like in Adelaide Gaol for people like Lee? Who are some of the characters who've also been on death row at Adelaide Gaol? Did Lee's hanging impact capital punishment in SA? If so, why, how? What should the local tourism body in Rhynie do with a book like yours? Or, indeed, other towns? On one hand, it's historical and people are drawn to "true crime" but on the other hand, is it disrespectful to the victims? What other stories are yet to be told? And might you two collaborate? 01:04:36 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have Leave a Letter by Kaurna Cronin, from his Feathers album. This is the perfect song to end this episode, particularly with the mournful lyrics about thinking of lost love after death: When I die Go leave a letter in my grave That tells me all you never told me And ill write back one day Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The inexplicable story of a mother who murdered her husband, her three young girls and her new fiancé’s brother with poison… and how one final cup of tea would seal her fate.

Sharnelle looks at German photographer Walter Schels who was terrified of death, but conquered his fear by taking a series of portraits of people before and on the day they died. Dee Dee cover the discovering in 1954 of a naked, battered body of a woman, found laying against rocks in Boulder, Colorado. It was more than 50 years before the woman known as Boulder Jane Doe was formally identified. And who killed her? Martha Needle was one of only five women ever hanged in Victoria’s history, convicted of the murder of her brother-in-law, and suspected of killing many more, including her own husband and children. Author Dr Brian Williams joins the girls to share details from his new book, Martha Needle
