THIS EPISODE’S STORY is about a murder that occurred on Forest Street, near the Majestic Hall in Bellingham, Washington. It is a rather sordid tale that involves a whole cast of seriously damaged folks. It’s about a man who shot his wife and his son-in-law,--- who was also his wife’s lover---. It’s about fancy-talking lawyers with pink toupees --and-- a particularly savage and patriarchal biblical law (even for the 1890's) filed under the Laws of Moses. And lastly, it’s about the flaws in our justice system then and NOW.

We have been busy recording a lot of “bad” Belling-history as guest hosts on the City of Subdued ___ Podcast! As many of you may know, the Good Time Girls have a lot of stories about bad people doing bad things… (with “bad” being a rather subjective term at times). This is hardly surprising, given the fact that our main tours are called the “Sin and Gin” tours, which are all about how the town was largely funded by booze and brothels… and then our very popular spooky “Gore and Lore” Tours cover creepy history – ghost stories, murders and true crime. If something “bad” happened in Bellingham, we have probably researched it. And we’re here to tell you ALLLLLL about it!
