Description

March 2nd 1879. Julia Thomas, a 54-year-old widow living in London, was eager to present herself as more affluent than she truly was. To maintain this facade, she hired a live-in maid, 30-year old Kate Webster, However, after only a month, Julia fires her for not cleaning well and spending too much time at the pub. This termination leads to an event that would ultimately get Kate sent to the gallows.
