Join Kristin as we discuss the 1802 murder of William Pitt Allen by his brother-in-law Ebenezer Mason. The first murder in Medfield, it ended in a sensational trial, a hanging, and a body snatching! Hear the tale of the stealing of Ebenezer Mason’s body, and listen to how body snatching became a common practice in 18th and 19th century Massachusetts. This episode has it all, body snatchers, Harvard Elite, a Guide to Grave Robbing, and 19th century trial transcripts! This lesser known murder even resulted in a song. Come hear about elitist nonsense, Brahmin B.S., and murder ballads you can sing at New Year’s.
