In 1879, there was a murder so grisly that newspapers continuously reported on it since readers were fascinated by it.  The crime itself was horrifying, but the aftermath was just as shocking.  It was a tale of class, gender, rumour, and the strange hunger of a society for the lurid details of domestic violence.   So, put on your aprons, my spooky friends.  You are about to hear a tale about an employer/employee relationship breakdown of epic proportions, but before we start, I want to give you all a heads-up.  Today, we will be talking about an extremely graphic murder.  Listener discretion is advised.
