Was she guilty? #CaraRobertson’s remarkable new account of this essential piece of American mythology—the trial of Lizzie Borden—is based on twenty years of research and recently unearthed evidence. Perfect for true crime and history aficionados! #truecrime #lizzieborden #crimehistory #trialoflizzieborden #lizzie #murdersquad #mfm #murderino

Obviously the discovery of a dissected corpse in the remnants of a great flood is going to be newsworthy, and the public really ate up all of the gory details. The Times-Picayune noted that the long slit through James' body must have been made by an expert in such work, not so subtly implying that Mr. Dreher, the doctor, or Mr. Beadle, the skilled hunter & trapper, perfectly fit that bill. Then, after quite wrongly attributing the body's discovery to being able to float despite the 300 lbs of iron attached to it, they changed their story to include a clever biblical analogy: "And the floods passed away from this Ararat, that carried such a mountainous crime, and some crab fisherman came along." Such a lovely start to their novel.

Charles Manson, leader della "Famiglia", una setta di oltre 100 adepti che lo venerava ed era pronta a tutto per lui, il 9 agosto 1969 ordinò quello che si ricorderà come il massacro di Cielo Drive. Cinque persone, tra cui la moglie del regista Roman Polansky incinta all'ottavo mese, furono brutalmente trucidate.

One of the most famous (and little-used) firearms associated with the 1930s outlaw is the "Barrow Gang" sawed-off Browning Automatic Rifle. Often erroneously referred to as the "scattergun", (reportedly Clyde's nickname for the BAR in general - having nothing to do with barrel length). Clyde Barrow modified two in such a fashion, cutting off barrel and stock to reduce the overall length. One was recovered in April of 1933 at Joplin, Missouri and the other at Dexfield Park in Iowa the following summer. The example pictured here is a faithful and fully functional reproduction of the original Barrow guns, and available on the OzarkMG full auto range outside Lebanon, Missouri. _________________________________ #ozarkmachinegun #OMG #machinegun #fullauto #browning #BAR #bartender #outlawhistory #Crimehistory #truecrime #Crime #gangster #Gangsterhistory #OriginalGangster #BonnieandClyde #ClydeBarrow #BarrowGang #Shootout #texasrangers #lawman #outlaws #springfieldMO #lakeoftheozarks #fortleonardwood #kansascity #stlouis #Route66roadtrip #route66 #bransonmissouri #BransonMO

Of course this left me as the central figure in all of this nonsense. The adulterous, vain, manipulative "siren," who lured all of these men to their doom. Knowing full well that they were cementing my death sentence, reporters made themselves feel better by insisting that I loved the media attention. Stoic, uninterested, and defiant in court, I "giggled" for the press and "entertained" in my jail cell. They truly seemed to have convinced themselves that not only did I enjoy all of the attention, but that they were somehow doing me a favor by making me into a celebrity. Or perhaps they just saw this as the pinnacle of their careers and weren't concerned with who died as a result. Facts be damned, they needed a good story, and a good story needs a good ending. And that is how I came to be remembered as the first woman to hang in the state of Louisiana. In reality, I was the first white woman to be hanged, but again, facts be damned, history wants a good story. In an instance where someone appeared to realize the gruesomeness of a trial serving as entertainment for the bored masses, the day after my death, Arthur Brisbane of the San Francisco Examiner asked, "Does a great State deserve to have on its records the first hanging of a white woman, or a black woman, either?" Well, Arthur, that seems to depend on who you ask. ⚰️

On Friday 20 March of 1925, five Illinois men attempted to rob the bank at Steelville, Missouri shortly after holding up a nearby restaurant. Unfortunately for the robbers, a local posse had been hastily assembled and was waiting in ambush. Two bandits were killed outright, one was shot through both legs and abandoned by his accomplices, one was captured uninjured and the fifth escaped. I don't know what arms were used by the men involved, but the Winchester Model 1907 .351 Self-Loader with a ten-shot magazine would be hard to beat. This one was manufactured c.1920. What long gun available in 1925 would you choose and why? __________________________________________________________________________________ #ozarkmachinegun #OMG #history #onthisday #onthisdayinhistory #outlawhistory #outlaw #bankrobber #bankrobbers #shootout #missouri #missourihistory #historygram #Crimehistory #truecrime #Crime #roaring20s #roaringtwenties #vintage #1920s #Route66roadtrip #route66 #oldschoolcool #mantiques #gunsofinstagram #gunstagram #gunsdaily #gunsofig #firearmsphotography #Winchester

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I shot this magazine spread for Staletto! If you picked up a copy of @stallettomagazine last December or really know your crime history, then you might be familiar with Winnie Ruth Judd. Either way, I’m so excited to finally be able to share her story with you! Obviously in print, I had to keep her tale condensed, but I’ve expanded it here so you can get a better idea of who she was and what drove her — and her’s is quite the story!
