    A jury acquits nine Italians of murdering the police chief. By noon the next day, a mob of thousands, led by the city's finest citizens, storms the parish prison and slaughters eleven men. Nobody is punished. Nobody ever learns who actually killed the chief.

    Madame Bessarabo's Explanation

    Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House Edition

    Episode 111

    When the body of a missing international businessman is found in an unclaimed trunk in the train station at Nancy, France, his wife (the French dramatist and poet known as Hera Mirtel) and his stepdaughter were immediately suspected, but it took two years to end their legal ordeal. Mysteries still remain (such as how two petit women managed to truss up the body and carry it around in a trunk). Episode 111 focuses on an epistle she wrote from her jail cell as she continues to proclaim her innocence, even denying that it was her husband's body in her trunk. Featuring Emily Simer Braun reading Mme. Bessarbo's epistle from the Paris jail.

    New Yorkers woke to the worst blizzard in American history. Fifteen thousand passengers stranded on elevated trains. The East River frozen solid. Four hundred dead. And one stubborn former senator who refused to pay for a cab — and walked two and a half miles into legend.
