    Six Capsules: The Gilded Age Murder of Helen Potts (True Crime History) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
    The permanent solution to a wife’s chronic headache.As Ted Bundy was to the 20th century, so Carlyle Harris was to the 19th. Harris was a charismatic, handsome, young medical student with an insatiable appetite for sex. His trail of debauched women ended with Helen Potts, a beautiful young woman of wealth and privilege who was determined to keep herself pure for marriage. Unable to conquer her by other means, Harris talked her into a secret marriage under assumed names, and when threatened with exposure, he poisoned her.The resulting trial garnered national headlines and launched the careers of two of New York’s most famous prosecutors, Francis L. Wellman and William Travers Jerome. It also spurred vigorous debate about Harris’s guilt or innocence, the value of circumstantial evidence, the worth of expert testimony, and the advisability of the death penalty. Six Capsules traces Harris’s crime and his sub­sequent trial and it highlights what has been overlooked - the decisive role that the second-class status of women in Victorian Era culture played in this tragedy.The Harris case is all but forgotten today, but Six Capsules seeks to recover this important milestone in American legal history.The book is published by The Kent State University Press.

    Save the date Mr. & Mrs. Jesse Thornton and Mr. & Mrs. Devlin Cutter request you save the date for the wedding of Lucy Daniels Thornton to Harris Cutter on March 26. Planning a wedding should have been easy, especially with Aunt Emmie and Harris’s stepmom, Natalie, to help. Those two could rule the world from their phones, so I thought letting them help plan our wedding would make everything effortless. I was wrong.
