Killing to Catch a Husband
News of the Times Episode 327 | 1831 & 1835
Today we look at two stories where the ultimate motivation of killing is to catch a husband.
Our first case from 1831 takes place in Coventry, where Mary Ann Higgins, orphan, has been taken in by her kindly uncle who treats her as a daughter. Mary Ann has many admirers but settles on good looking Edward Clarke. Alas, Clarke’s primary focus seems to be getting his hands on her uncle’s money. To keep him, Mary Ann complies.
Our second case from 1835 takes place in Bristol. Mary Ann Burdock has spent her life skirting the law. She finally ends up running a lodging house where handsome young sailor Charles Wade entrances 38 years old Mary Ann. Alas! Wade requires money to marry her and also to start up a shop. Another of Mary Ann’s lodgers conveniently is a wealthy widow who does not believe in banks.
Two crime stories from history motivated by a wish to marry is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.
